Hello @MNCountryMerc and welcome to the Square Seller Community...we're so glad you're here! I'm also a fellow crafter who used to do the local fairs and art shows, then decided to open my own brick and mortar location so I wouldn't have to travel. There are certainly challenges in a business like this, but the rewards are wonderful. I heard once from someone that after you have your own retail store (and can buy wholesale)...you NEVER want to pay retail prices again LOL! It's a nice perk...and I like to tell my customers that I'm a professional shopper because I'm always searching (and buying) for the store so I can bring unique items to my customers!
Good luck to you and your business, and keep posting in the Community. This is a great place to get business advice and just network with other like-minded business owners. If you have Square specific questions, you can search the Forums; most likely another Seller has asked the same question before, so you can benefit from everyone's experience.
