How can I change the business type in Square?

[2wi]

I chose the wrong business type when I opened it. I don't see a place to change it, I need help please!

Hey @2wi!

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community and happy Sunday! 💫💫💫

Take a look here for more information on how to change the business type that you selected while signing up. Is that what you're referring to?

Hi Olive,

I chose the wrong option when setting up my business and would like to change it from individual to business. When I found this Q & A I thought that I had found the answer, but your link only gets me to a place that tells me about why choosing a business type is important. Nothing there about how to fix the error of making the wrong choice between business and individual?

Do you have another link that you could send?

Thanks!

Autumn, human

Hey @cleverautumn,

The business type you select when signing up is mainly used to give us a bit of an idea of how the Square account will be used, and the types of payments you'll be processing. 

This isn't something you can change from your end once you've signed up, and you'd need to reach out to our support team directly to do so. The business type you've selected usually won't have an impact on your ability to process payments, unless you need to process accept HSA / FSA cards with Square for a medical business. If that's you, get in touch with support here. 

PS. I noticed it's your first post, welcome to our community 👋
