If you need any assistance with your Square account, we're here to help. If you decide to go ahead with the closure of your account, I recommend going over our <A href="https://squareup.com/help/article/3819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">checklist for deactivating a Square account</A>.</P> <P dir="auto" style="margin: 0;"><BR />Otherwise, Square hardware is not tied to a specific Square account, meaning that another business can use the Terminal. I would suggest performing a factory reset beforehand though. You'll find the steps in this <A href="https://squareup.com/help/gb/en/article/6537-square-terminal-troubleshooting#:~:text=Reset%20your%20Terminal,-On%20rare%20occasions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support article</A>.<BR /><BR /></P> <P dir="auto" style="margin: 0;">I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions !</P> Tue, 20 Aug 2024 11:25:36 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Square-terminal-reallocation-to-someone-else/m-p/746938#M59224 Lou8 2024-08-20T11:25:36Z
