There are several reasons why you may want to delete your Square account.

Steps to deactivate a Square account

After you have completed the steps below, you’re ready to deactivate your Square account. First, visit the Square Dashboard and click on Account & Settings. From there, click on the Personal Information tab and select Deactivate Account. A confirmation code will appear in your email or text message that you must enter in order to deactivate your account. Once you confirm the deactivation, your account will be closed and no longer accessible.

Once you’ve completed the steps above, you can deactivate your Square account by deleting your payment history, subscriptions, and team members. However, you should make sure that you export all files before you deactivate your account. Unless you’re planning on continuing using Square as a payment processor in the future, you should be sure to deactivate your account before deleting it. This way, you won’t have to worry about account upkeep or closure costs.

Reasons for sudden deactivation of a Square account

Sometimes Square may deactivate your account without prior warning. In such cases, you will receive an email letting you know. You can then contact Square and request reactivation of your account. Within five business days, Square will decide whether to reactivate your account or to deactivate it. In either case, you will be notified via email, accompanied by information on how to escalate the situation.

Another reason for a sudden deactivation of your Square account may not be related to your transaction volume. In such a case, you might have experienced a large number of chargebacks, which Square considers excessive. Square does not specifically state the amount of chargebacks that will result in deactivation, so you must determine what constitutes a high chargeback ratio. However, if you are experiencing a large number of chargebacks, you may be receiving unhappy clients or other high-risk indicators. To avoid such a situation, you should make sure you have a clear and concise policy on cancellations, returns, and purchase refunds.

Downloading financial records from Square

If you do not need to keep a copy of Square’s financial records, it is possible to download your data. You can also export Square data to a CSV file and access it with a spreadsheet program. This will allow you to view individual transactions, compare sales by day, week, and month, and keep track of tax information. If you’re running a seasonal business, deleting your Square account before tax time may not be a good idea.

In order to download your Square financial records, you must first know how to access Square’s Connect API. You can find the SDK here, or download it separately. Square also maintains two different versions of the Register API, which you can mix and match according to your needs. You can also download unofficial libraries and SDKs that allow you to integrate with Square’s API. But be aware that these are not official and may conflict with Square’s own data.
