Ah. My apologies. That was not clear to me. Yes, my assumption is that as long as you are signed onto their Square account with a device code or such, you should be able to connect to their reader and process transactions.
Of course, it’s possible that Square checks IMEIs, etc, I don’t know how they enforce the whole country thing. Obviously the most foolproof way to get going is to use one of their devices, if you can.
Hi @madmoravian.I lifted this from this Square Help document. It seems that when you connect the “foreign” hardware to your phone, it knows.
Can I Process Payments While Travelling Abroad?
Cross-border card payments are unsupported. This means that card transactions attempted outside of the country where you activated your Square account can’t be processed with Square. However, you can accept cash transactions while traveling internationally.
So it seems. But then they won’t be your sales. They will be their sales. They’ll have to send you your money and give you the equivalent of a 1099 or something. It’s an accounting hassle on all sides. Better off being on a cash only basis while there. I’d have thought they’d have worked stuff like this out if they knew they had US-based vendors. You’re trying to do something that has strict laws and regulations set up around it, for good reason.
