FAQ
We’re excited about your interest in the solutions partner program. To apply to become a partner, fill out this form. The Square team will review the application and provide solutions partner eligibility status via email within a couple business days.
Applications are typically reviewed on a weekly basis. We may reach out to schedule a follow-up call to discuss whether your solution is a good fit for the program.
To be a successful solutions partner, we recommend having a demonstrable proficiency of Square products through successful implementations, positive seller feedback, and a steady volume of lead referrals. We also recommend being consistently responsive when we reach out with questions or opportunities.
Square specialists are experienced designers, marketers, and developers who have joined our solutions partner program and become certified by Square to work with sellers to provide solutions that help them grow their businesses.
Solutions partners are eligible to become Square specialists and get listed in our directory.
Once a partner signs an agreement, we’ll hold a kickoff call to discuss the criteria and requirements on how to pass certification, and we’ll provide a case study for review. Provided that the partner passes, they’ll become classified as “Square Certified.” We’ll then host a final onboarding call to go over the various partner tools and grant the partner access. Once these steps are completed, approved partners can start taking on projects for Square sellers through our Square specialists program.
Solutions partners can earn a percentage of the adjusted revenue for payment processing when they implement Square through point-of-sale and eCommerce APIs. These earnings are capped at 24 months.
For partners who refer to and build on Square Online, we have perpetual revenue share on our Square Online paid plans, as well as product bonuses on complementary products. The bonuses are attributed to point-of-sale implementations, on-demand delivery, and the number of partner referrals in a 12-month period. In order to be eligible, the seller must create their new Square account up to 30 days before or up to 60 days after the partner referral date.
