Money transfer to Buskers

[DetEntUment]

Hello, how are you all? I am a street musician and I have observed that Square is used as a method of receiving money. Can someone tell me if it can be used in Canada? And what is the best method to receive money as a busker? thank you so much

Thanks for reaching out, @DetEntUment! We’re excited to hear that you’re interested in joining Square! 

To answer your question, yes, we are operational in Canada. 🙂 As a first step, we recommend reviewing this article on our Support Centre which outlines the information that’s required to sign up for a Square account.

For receiving payments while busking, it’s worth checking out Square Payment Links.

Square Payment Links allows you to download and print a custom QR code that directs to your payment link, offering a simple, contactless, self-serve payment solution.

You can create payment links for the following options:

• Collect Payments: Accept money for goods or services.
• Buyer-Entered Payments: Accept an amount of the customer’s choice.
• Items: Accept money for items in your Item Library.
• Donations: Allow a donor to enter an amount of their choice.

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 🙂
