Australian Sellers can now accept JCB card payments with Square 🥳

[#1]

Hey Seller Community,

We’re pleased to announce that as of today, Australian Square accounts can accept JCB card payments 🎉

JCB acceptance is now available across the full suite of Square products, and to keep things simple card processing fees for JCB payments remain the same as fees for any other card payment made via Square:

• 1.6% for each contactless, chip and PIN or swiped card-present transaction on Square Terminal, Square Terminal, or when you connect Square Terminal with Virtual Terminal.
  
  
• 1.9% for each contactless, chip and PIN or swiped card-present transaction on Square Reader or Square Stand.
  
  
• 2.2% for each manually keyed-in payment to the Square app, recurring payments facilitated via Square Invoices and Virtual Terminal. This also includes our online payment products, including Square eCommerce API, Square Online, Square Online Checkout links, Appointments and purchases of Square Gift Cards.

An automated update will be applied to your POS app and reader firmware, so you won’t need to do anything to start accepting JCB payments!

We hope this update proves useful for your business - let us know in the comments below 🙂
