Accept Cash, Cheques, and Other Tender
To keep your payment records in one place, you can use Square to record and track cash, cheques, gift cards from third-party services, and other types of payments.
There is no fee to accept other tender types. When you accept other tender types, Square doesn’t process any funds and functions only as an organisational tool. Money for these transactions are exchanged directly between you and your customer and will not be transferred by Square.
You can also customise your checkout screen by toggling and reordering what Payment Types are available at checkout.
