Being from Canada, is there any way to use Square in the USA?

Square says to make a USA account, but you need a zip code and obviously being from Canada I do not have a zip code or any of the information needed to open a second USA account.  I go to trade shows and am just starting to go to trade shows down in the USA and use Square for all payments.

Hey @TideIndustries - Unfortunately, cross-border payments aren't available at this time. Square merchants are only authorized to process payments within their country of activation. Since you have a CA account, you wouldn't be able to process payments in the US. A potential workaround would be to manually enter the payments when you return, but then there is the risk of the card being declined. 

Hope that helps clarify things for you!

So that explains why I can’t take a payment while on vAcstion in another country ???

Correct @Nogames, you won't be able to take payments outside of Canada that's where you set up your account. I hope can still enjoy your vacation though!
