Can I use square for random non business payments? Personal use.

Do I need to be a business to use square? I am wanting to use it for random payments.. My wife and I do alot of different things for extra income.. such as mow grass, clean cars, crafts.. sell home made salsa and jellys.. but we are not a "business" we dont have any tax id or business license. can we still use square?

@Ebutler3, you could also use Square Register - when you create an account you can select "Casual Use." 👍

Yes you can use your ss# and take card payment.

Easy to get EIN #for your business better than giving out ss#
