How do I use square for casual use?

I found a thread already, saying you could use it for casual things like a yard sale, but no matter which option I pick, it asks for a legal business name. I don't own a business!

Thanks for posting on the Square Community @SilliBeast 👋.

 

If you do not have a registered business, you can set up a Square account as an Individual/Sole Proprietorship, and select Casual Use as business type. You'll still be asked to add a business name, but you can enter any name you'd like to have on the receipts:

I hope this helps!
