You can use Square to accept payments from any cards with the Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover logos. However, Square cannot guarantee approval of government or military cards such as GSA cards, as these cards are highly regulated and have strict policies around spending. The acceptance of these cards is dependent on the card issuer.

Will Square accept a State of South Carolina Purchasing Card (P-Card)? The P-Card Program (Program) uses a VISA© purchasing card issued by Bank of America.

Hi @Dennisw595 - Welcome to The Seller Community, it's always nice to see a new face 😊

 

Great Question.

As long as the P-Card is one of our accepted card types you are welcome to accept it using Square. 

Square works with any US-issued and most internationally-issued magstripe or chip cards bearing a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or UnionPay logo.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

As always, feel free to stop by The Community with question, concerns and even feature requests. We are more than happy to assist.
