Hi, I am trying to plug square as a payment gateway for my immigration consulting website. But web developer says there is a fee of $59 to set it up. However, the square website says it is free to set up. Square team, please clarify
1. is there any fee for set up?
2. link for how to set it up
Thank you!
Hi @admo - welcome to Square and to the Seller Community!
It is absolutely free to set up a Square Online Store, although there are additional features available with the different pricing plans that are laid out on the linked page. If you'd like to learn how to get started with a free website through Square, this is a great overview.
However, since you've hired a web developer to build out a website for you using WordPress, the costs are unrelated to the free Square Online Store. In this case, you will be integrating Square as the payment processor for your WordPress website, rather than using our free Square Online Store option.
Although your web developer may have more insight into the $59 figure they are presenting, I can confirm that the Square/WordPress integration pricing begins at $25. Clicking the link in that article will take you to WordPress' pricing page, which may help clarify pricing here. I hope this helps, but let us know if we can clarify anything else!
