Advice

  • Using Square reader, a 2.75% tax will be applied. By manually entering your card number, a commission of 3.5% + 15 ¢ will be applied.
  • This commission is used as a commission on the insurance offered by Square on receiving funds, since Visa cards do not always work during the purchase.
