List of Available Merchant Category Codes (MCC) ?

[lctabus]

Hello All,

Does Square provide a complete list of supported Merchant Category Codes (MCC)?

We're in the process of shutting down our old webstore, and moving everything to Square. Rather, we were until we ran into a problem with our local Veteran's Affairs (VA) office.

The VA issues cards that can only be used at certain types of merchants (I presume, to prevent misuse). I need a complete list of MCC codes that square supports, so that we can cross-reference with the list from our VA office.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Seller Community and thanks for bringing this up, @lctabus!

We aren't able to access and share account-specifics in our online forums, but I can tell you that we support a limited number of MCC codes. My best suggestion is to touch base with your VA office and ask which MCC codes they support. Next, reach out to our Customer Success team. With that, an account specialist will be able ensure that the proper code is applied to your account, if the code is supported.

I apologize for the somewhat vague answer, but I hope this helps get you in the right direction. More details here: Choose a Business Type for Your Square Account.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if any other questions/concerns remain!

This does not provide what we are looking for AT ALL.

Can you provide a list of the merchant categories to choose from?

Hello @CassieLMT - Square does not have an MCC list that our Sellers can publicly view as we offer hundreds of MCC options. Any available MCC will be available for you to choose from at the time of creating a Square account. If you need a specific category code or need to change your original option for your business our Customer Success Team can assist you further. They will be your best resource. 

Thank you.
