Pricing for online and in-app payment handling
There are no monthly charges or additional fees for payment processing. And all supported credit cards are charged at the same applicable, regional rate whether the card was issued locally or internationally. For example: an eCommerce transaction in Japan will always have the same processing fee (3.6%), even if the participating credit card belongs to a tourist visiting from another country.
Everything from PCI-compliance fees to interchange and chargeback fees are covered by the per-transaction percent fee. For more information on Square pricing (including custom pricing options), see the Square pricing overview or the support article on Square Fees.
