Can't activate Square Card

I can't either. Same exact thing is happening to me. Have you received your card reader yet? I'm still waiting for mine.

Word. Second one too- still isn’t working. They just hang up on me when I call CS. Tragic. Tried changing my email to see if that works. We will see . Doubtful .

Hey @vmsgirl71 - Sorry to hear your troubles activating the Square Card. I'd reached out directly to Support about this, as they have proper insight into your account details to see what's up. They'll be able to walk through troubleshooting and escalate your case further if necessary.

 

I hope it works out!

Got it - were you able to reach a Support Advocate? Just want to make sure you're taken care of.

I am trying to activate my square card, but keep getting the following error message when I enter the confirmation code. "

Confirmation code has expired. Please click “Resend email” below."
 
I have clicked on resend confirmation code 10 times and get the same error message.
