FAQs

Quick answers to the things customers ask us most.

View all FAQs

Do I need a Square account to use this hardware?

Yes. All Square hardware works with a free Square account. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up at squareup.com in a few minutes. Your Guardian Payment Services rep can also walk you through setup if you'd like a hand.

How fast will my order ship?

Most orders ship within one business day from our Waco, Texas warehouse. You'll get tracking information by email as soon as your device is on its way. Shipping is free on every order, no minimums.

What is your return policy?

You have 30 days from delivery to return any unused device for a full refund. The hardware needs to come back in its original packaging with all included accessories. Reach out to our team to start a return and we'll send you a prepaid label.

Is the warranty the same as buying directly from Square?

Yes. Every device we sell is genuine Square hardware and comes with the full Square manufacturer warranty. That's one year on most devices and two years on Square Register, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

Can I use this with my existing payment processor?

Square hardware is built to work with the Square Point of Sale ecosystem and is not compatible with other payment processors. If you're not sure whether Square is the right fit for your business, give us a call. We process payments for businesses every day and can help you compare your options.

What payment processing rates will I pay?

Processing rates are set by Square, not by us. The standard rate is 2.6% plus 15 cents per in-person tap, dip, or swipe. Businesses processing more than $250,000 a year may qualify for custom rates. Talk to us about a rate review if you're a high-volume seller.

What if I need help after my purchase?
