Need help signing up: Is a phone number required?

[sierrabandit]

I can't sign up because I don't have a phone number under my name. Is there a way around this?

@sierrabandit At this time you are required to provide a phone number in order to sign up for a Square account. It's important to to have a phone number associated with your account so we contact you about your account if needed. It's also important so you can use use 2-step verification to keep your account secure.

Hi there, @gg3 - as Helen stated above, we require users to submit a valid phone number when creating a Square account. 

If you are curious about what is required when activating a Square account, you can take a look at this helpful resource.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
