Can Merchant Solutions Corp install Square POS?

Yes. We're an authorized Square dealer and provide hardware, menu/catalog setup, staff training, and on-site installation — even though payments still route through Square.

Square Register for full-service sit-down, Square Terminal for tableside handheld, and Square Kiosk for quick-service self-ordering.

How much does Square charge per transaction?

Square's default in-person rate is 2.6% + 10¢. Custom rates are available for businesses processing over $250K/year.
