This business is currently not accepting payments

Hey guys, I'm new here and try to figure everything out. I added an item and created a payment link, which I then put on linktr.ee. But unfortunately the checkout box is whitened out and the red warning sentence appears: This business is currently not accepting payments

What am I missing here, where do I need to accept payments in Square? I searched every setting on my account - nothing. And it says that I can sell items even in the free version of Square. So I'm confused.

Thanks for any advice!

Cheers Julia

Hi, @JuliMPhoto ! Welcome to the Square Community.

What country are you located in? I want to make sure I get you the best information and steps to getting your account verified to take payments.

@JuliMPhoto Card payment acceptance with the Square app is currently available in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, France and Spain. Square doesn't currently don’t support payment card processing outside of these countries or in U.S. territories.

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news😫
