Once you download the app, tap New Square Account to start the activation process. You'll need to supply your personal and business information and answer a few questions to verify your identity.

I have a Square card reader but I do not know how to activate it.

Hi @yellowfintuna67!

You'll need to download the app to start using the reader and to start taking payments.

You will want to download the Point of Sale app from your app/play store and go from there.

Here's more information about getting started from our Support Center.
