How do I reactivate a Square account I closed?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: I deactivated my account and need it back

 

I am in the process of building my business and accidentally created 2 accounts with different emails.

I deactivated the 2nd account after realizing I already had one.

When I went to my 1st account to update the email address, I couldn't because it had been used for my 2nd account (that I just deactivated).

 

FURTHERMORE (and to screw things up more..),

I deactivated ALL accounts to try and start fresh. Now, I am stuck.

 

Help me please.

Hello @ppark1229! I just wanted to jump in here to confirm that @RHatch and @VanKalkerFarms are right — if you need to reactivate your account and you've created a new account in the meantime go ahead and call our Support Team! We're happy to help. 👍

 

Note: If you have not created a new account go to http://squ.re/contact and click 'I don't have a Square account' to send us an email.

You will have to contact Square support or start an account with a different email address.

You can start a new account with a different email address or contact square https://squareup.com/help/contact.  No one in this forum will be able to help you with specific account problems like this.

Hey there @Sawdust86 I understand having your account deactivated is frustrating. To ensure our platform is safe for buyers and sellers alike Account Services can request additional information surrounding a payment or your account to ensure. We are obligated by card networks to collect this information in the event of any chargebacks this will help us fight for you best. We are happy to take a further look at your account and assist in any way possible, but for security, we cannot discuss account information through The Seller Community. You will need to reach out to support at 1-855-700-6000 squ.re/contactsqsupport, or through social support on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and we can investigate. 

 

We appreciate you working with us to keep Square safe!

Hi @mebaccus,

 

I moved your post to an existing thread in the Community around deleted accounts since that message only shows up when the account has been self-deleted.

 

Check out the links above on how to contact our CS team to get it reactivated.
