Hi @BHDJING - I see this is your first post in the Seller Community so I'd like to officially welcome you! 🎉👏

It is not possible to accept only debit cards and not credit cards through Square. Square works with any Canadian-issued and most non-Canadian-issued credit cards with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, or UnionPay International logo, as well as Interac Debit cards. You can read more about accepted card payments here.

However, you can customize your checkout screen by toggling and reordering what other Payment Types are available at checkout. You can find more details here.

I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions.
