Yes. Your referrer login is tied to you as an individual and not to your business. You will need to log in separately to the referral platform.
Simply use the sign-up link above to create a referrer account, find and copy your unique referral link in your referral dashboard, and send the link to the person you’d like to refer to Square.

In order to receive your referral commission, please ensure that your referee signs up using your unique referral link. Once the referee is confirmed as a new Square seller and starts to process with Square, you may become eligible for your referral commission. See our terms and conditions for more details.
