You will be able to receive debit card payments in your online shop using Square online payment gateway. As a significant payment provider, Square is accessible in the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan and accepts each nation’s currency. Shoppers can input their debit card information directly on your shop’s checkout page — it simplifies and speeds up the checkout procedure.
Here is the rundown of advantages that you gain by selecting Square to receive debit card payments in your online shop:
- Registration and authentication process takes minutes. You do not need to visit a bank to start a merchant bank account. Therefore, you can start accepting payments via Square gateway immediately.
- No undisclosed charges. You only pay when you generate a sale. You can find out more about transparent Square pricing.
- Transactions are inherently secure. Square complies with PCI Level 1 standards and all in-person card transactions are encrypted end-to-end.
- Prevention of unauthorized transactions. Square’s fraud prevention unit monitors your account's security around the clock using live surveillance systems and will alert you if they detect anything unusual. Additionally, you can bolster the security of your Square account by activating 2-factor authentication, receiving notifications for account modifications, and assigning limited permissions to employees.
- Effortless resolution of payment disputes. As with any transaction, there's always a chance that a purchaser will dispute the purchase. You can furnish the Square team with details concerning such a transaction and they will handle the dispute on your behalf.
