Re: How to add funds to Square Card?

If you’re using the IOS app then use the -White square- point of sales app to add funds with the “add money” button. The -Green square- appointments app won’t show the “add money” button. Hope this helps someone else find the answer faster, as I spent hours researching it but ultimately figured it out myself.

Re: How to add funds to Square Card?

Wanted to provide an update to this thread since you can add funds to your Square balance now for your Square Card!

 

Here's the steps from our Support Center:

Adding Funds from the app:

  1. Tap the three horizontal lines > Balance.
  2. Select Add money.
  3. Enter the amount to transfer.
  4. In the Source field, you can review the last three digits of your linked bank account.
  5. Once you’ve confirmed the transfer details, tap Add.

Adding funds from the Dashboard:

  1. Sign in to the Balance section of your online Square Dashboard.
  2. Click the Overview tab > Add money.
  3. Enter the amount to transfer.
  4. In the Source field, you can review the last three digits of your linked bank account or add a new one.
  5. Once you’ve confirmed the transfer details, tap Add.

UPDATE! If you, like me, have payments coming in VIA a POS (reader) AND through a web browser, you must establish a payment history BEFORE that "Add Funds" button will appear. Apparently if you take payments through a reader AND via online (invoices, website payments, etc..) it takes longer to appear than if you were only using a reader.

Hi there, @Shar0913 👋 While you may have an active debit card attached to your account for Instant Deposit purposes, you can only load balance onto a Square Card from your bank account.

Correct - it sounds like you have an Instant Deposit Card and Bank account attached to account, but you do not have a Square Card on your account. You will need to sign up for a Square Card in order to load a balance and use your card. @Shar0913.

From my online dashboard (on my PC) I click the three bars (hamburger) and click on the Balance icon. It opens the Overview, but there is no option showing for "Add Money" (no drop-down list). Nor is a button on the Overview page for Add Money. Where can I find "Add Money"???

Have you tried tapping the amount field and enter a dollar amount? The add money button will only activate once an amount is entered to transfer.

Thanks for the reply @JustinC. The problem is, I can't get to the point where you put in the dollar ammount. The directions say go to the Balance page, then on the Overview > Add Money. I don't have an Overview tab, just a list on the left side that looks like this:

Overview

 

Square Card

 

Activity ^

   All

   Card Spend

   Transfers

 

Transfer Settings

 

 

The middle of the page show my Balance with a blue button under it that says, "Transfer to Bank"

 

Thanks Again,
Jerry

Super strange. Sorry your Dashboard isn't properly showing the Add Money button. That shouldn't be happening. Can you reach out to our CS Team so they can take a look? Please loop back here to let us know what happened.

Amount field where? In the Dashboard, I click on Banking, then Balance, then on the Location. There is a Transfer Out button (I'm trying to transfer in). That's it. No place to enter an amount. Similarly, in the app, I only see "Transfer to Bank."

I am new to the square community.  When I add funds, I get this message below.  Could someone help me to troubleshoot this?

"The transaction could not be completed. Please try again later."

 

How do I find the account and routing number of my square business account?

I do not see the Add Money option anywhere. I've checked both the app and online. Nothing. I've transferring money from my linked bank account and get an ADA invalid error when I put in the bank info for my Square checking. Can someone tell me how to do this in 2022?
