customer paying directly to square

[kthec]

I have a client who wants to prepay for several sessions, the total amount would be around $1,000.00. He wants to pay directly from his credit card into my account. This means not giving me his card number, expiration date, back code and zip code. Is it possible for him to contact square directly to make payment to me? And how would he go about that?

No, that isn't possible.  And that sounds fishy that they want to "bypass" you processing their card so you can get paid like you would from every other single transaction and pay your Credit Card merchant directly.  That'd be like going to Starbucks and asking to call JPMorgan Chase (Starbucks credit card processor) to pay them directly because you don't trust the cashier or whatever.
