Can I manage multiple businesses from the same Square account?

I have 2 home businesses. Can I use the same account or should I set up different accounts?

Absolutely! You actually have two options here, depending on your situation:
You can use one account with multiple locations, or create two separate Square accounts.

1. By creating two "Locations" for your Square account, you can manage two businesses while just having to keep track of one username/password. Keep in mind that this option is best for a single business with multiple locations, as sales records, inventory, and other details can be tied together. Review this Support Center article for more details on how to set this up if you're interested.

2. By setting up a different Square account for each business, you can keep them distinctly separate with different usernames and passwords. Their sales records, and other data won't be tied together either. If you have two different EIN numbers, this is the best way to keep them separate (likely easier for you too). With this option, you'll just need to log out, and then log back into the app with the correct username when switching - head here to learn more.

Hope that helps! 😊

Can you have more than one bank account?

I would like to add a second bank account for a separate business. Is that possible on the same device?

Hi. I would like to go with the first option. But when I go to 'Business Information' under my account... I do not see the button 'Add new location'. Please suggest why it is not coming. Thank you.

@Mmidyette - Sure is! You'll just need to sign in and out, depending on which business you want to take payments for.

I also have two businesses and have set both up for square usage, however when I try to set the second one up (different bank than the other business), it keeps reverting back to the first business. I purchased a mini iPad just for the square accounts and cannot figure out how to get the second one loaded on the iPad. Thanks. Hope that is clearer than mud!

@Spinner You'll just need to log out of your existing account and log back into the Square Register account using the email address for your second Square Account. Square accounts are separated by the emails that were used to create them so as long as you are logging in and out using the appropriate email addresses you shouldn't have a problem.

One Square, Multiple Organizations

I belong to two different organizations that both use Square Readers. Can I use the app to work with both organizations using my square? My square is listed in only one organization. Make sense??

Thanks Kelly!!!

@LionChrisSvitak Yep! You'll just need to be aware of which account you are signed into at any given time. Just sign out and sign back into the appropriate account and you'll be totally fine using he same device and reader for multiple accounts.

Would this work if I have one card reader (my phone) but two different businesses and locations? For example I work two days a week in a salon with one address and then I work one day a week in a barber shop with a different locations. Is there a way I can use one appointment book and be able to book per location? so when the client gets a reminder text or confirmation text it will reflect which location they are booked with me.

Thank you

@Kara - While you can certainly use the same Square Reader, as it's not tied to any one account, Square Appointments doesn't currently support multiple locations. It's definitely a popular feature request.

Re: I have 2 home businesses can I use the same account or should I set up different accounts

Kara — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 20:45:50 GMT

What if I make an 'employee'? For example I have Kara 1 at one location and Kara 2 assigned to the 2nd location? That way when the confirmation texts and emails that are sent out reflect the location the employee is working at.... of that made sense.

Sean — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 20:51:13 GMT

@Kara - It sounds like that could be a good workaround, just keep in mind that Square Appointments pricing is based on how many employees that you have.

My square pos doesn't have a place that I can find to log out and back into the other business.

SweetMagnolias — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 17:44:38 GMT

Makes sense to me. I have the same issue. I want to use 1 square pos and run 2 different accounts on it. How to set up the second account info with separate bank account is my issue. Have you resolved your issue?
