How can I set up second bank account and website to receive donations for special donations?

We are a non-profit and have been asked by our city to receive funds from the city and from other donors to help local flood victims.  This requires a separate bank account from which we will receive and disburse the funds.  We already have one account set up in Square to receive funds for our other charitable causes but this needs to be a separate, temporary account.  Can we create a separate bank account and build a simple web page to receive donations?

Hello @khkyle! Great question. There are two ways you can achieve this.

  1. You could set up a brand new Square account with a different email address. With a new Square account you can add a separate bank account and set up an Online Store to accept donations. 
  2. Alternatively, from your existing account you could create a second location. When you create another location you can link a different bank account to each location, and you create an Online Store for one location to accept donations Note: If you create a location it changes the sign in flow to the Point of Sale app. When you sign in you'll be prompted to choose which location you're taking payments at. That screen will appear even if you deactivate one of your locations; you can deactivate a location but you can't delete it! (I just want to let you know in case you decide to test out locations.)

Last but not least thread has information how to accept donations with Square's Online Store

 

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions reply here to let me know!
