SQUARE ALTERNATIVE

Square Deactivated Your Account?
Here's Your Next Step.

Square is built for low-risk retail. If your business operates in a category Square prohibits, BoazPay provides the dedicated merchant account, card-not-present processing, and compliance infrastructure you actually need.

Why It Happens

Why Square Deactivates Accounts

Square's automated systems flag these common triggers — often with no appeal process:

Selling products Square classifies as high-risk (supplements, CBD, firearms accessories)
Chargeback rate above Square's internal 1% threshold
High average ticket amounts inconsistent with business profile
Suspected card-not-present fraud or unusual transaction patterns
Business type not permitted by Square's terms (adult, gaming, crypto)
Account age under 90 days with sudden volume increase
