How do you enter in credit cards for International (overseas) clients? 

Do you process payments for International or Overseas clients the same way as NA clients?

What do we need to know about processing International clients (my clients are based in Hong Kong, Phillipines, Germany, Israel, and other foreign countries.

Square automatically will show a number pad on the manual transactions. But the bottom left button says ABC and will take you to the usual alphanumeric keyboard. You can enter her postal code on that screen.

how do I enter a zip code for canada

[George]

You can process most internationally-issued cards via manual entry. For the post or ZIP code, enter in their postal code just like you would an American ZIP code but remember that you can switch between numbers and letters on your iOS or Android device, since the Canadian postal code format includes both.

@Beenefits - What seems to be the issue? Were you running into an error? 

[Beenefits]

Hi Sean,

Have anyone had a chance to manually process international credit cards?

All of our business is with Asian clients. What is your question specifically?

[Mr-Sery-Volk]

I was trying to process payment from a client in Russia, and the system would not aprove his card, seemingly because of ZIP code.
Russian ZIPs are 6 digit long, and Register seemed to be unable to deal with that.
PS: It was manual card processing over the phone.

Zip code is 00000 for international.

[Mr-Sery-Volk]

Thank. Appreciate you help.

Thank you!

If you have the card in hand, then you just swipe it as usual. If you are manually typing in, the zip code is 00000. Everything else is the same.

To piggyback off the previous post, 5 zeros is a great option if there aren't ZIP or postal code in the country of the card holder. However, if the ZIP or postal code you need to enter is alphanumeric (as some are outside the US), you can toggle between the number keypad and the keyboard.

On iOS devices,  you can tap ABC at the lower left of the screen, then to return back to the number keypad, tap 123 in the lower left of the screen. To switch between the number keypad and keyboard on an Android device, you tap the keyboard icon to the right of ZIP.

You can check out more information on accepting international cards in our Support Center.

I typed in 5 zeros and still card not accepted..

[Gazza31]

What country is the card issued in?

[StanLabo]

Costa Rica

[Gazza31]

I entered 5 zeros for Aruba as they do not have zip codes and it worked, maybe Costa Rica does have zip codes?
