Great questions everyone! Square actually doesn't have individual account numbers for our merchants. We use your individual email address to distinguish accounts. Every individual merchant account is associated with an email address instead of an account number. Try using the email address that is tied to your Square Account.

Hope that helps!

Then what is the account number they are asking for when you try to call to speak with a live person?

For the merchant account number requested on the Seller's Permit, enter the email address that is on record associated w/ your Square account. Good luck!

Texas limits it to 20 characters

@rbfarris - Hmm. 🤔 Perhaps you can put "N/A." Did you already ask their advice?

Actually typing in the email address associated with my square account did not work, I have too many characters

I called Square support and they did say to use the email, but when I told them I had too many characters, they suggested that I just type in Square since they do not have individual merchant id numbers

Did that work?

I am guessing so, nothing came back void

Hello @eduardoLillo, have you tried entering Square for your merchant id?

Card Acceptor ID

ShorelineCredit — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 15:45:45 GMT

My bank is asking me for the Card Acceptor ID for a special promotion they are running at my store. I have emailed this question and not received a response. Does anybody know how to obtain my Card Acceptor ID? It's a 15 digit number and possibly different for VISA and MasterCard. Thank you!

Hello @ShorelineCredit! I've moved your post here so you Kelly's Best Answer, Square doesn't provide account numbers for merchants. Perhaps your bank could use your account email address instead?

Re: Card Acceptor ID

ShorelineCredit — Sat, 07 Oct 2017 21:39:13 GMT

It's something different than merchant ID. It's a unique code that is transmitted through MC/VISA to uniquely identify the terminal. IE wal Mart has one Merchant ID but each store (or department or terminal) has a unique Card Acceptor ID.

Thanks for clarifying that @ShorelineCredit! I looked into this for you a bit more and I'm afraid we don't have a card acceptor IDs either. I recommend asking your bank if there's another way they can set up this promotion.

Looking for CC MID

karinjgraham — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 22:17:04 GMT

Where/how can I find square's authorization or settlement MIDs on a square account? Our Processor is requesting the CC Merchant ID Number for our square account for each of our locations. I know that square has 12 -15 digit authorization MIDs, but where are they?
