Frequently asked questions
Cancel Square: The Right Way to Protect Your Rights
How to cancel Square in singapore and protect your refund rights
What Square is and why businesses cancel
Square is a payments and business management platform that enables you to accept customer payments, operate point-of-sale systems, and manage online stores from a single dashboard. Whether you use Square's free tools or paid subscription plans, the platform integrates sales processing, invoicing, inventory management, and customer data across both in-person and online channels.
You may cancel Square because you have switched to a competing payment processor, your business model has evolved, you no longer require advanced features, or you need to reduce operating expenses. Whatever your reason for leaving, understanding the cancellation process and your legal entitlements protects you from unexpected charges and ensures you recover any unused subscription credits. Yafee specialises in helping Singapore-based business owners navigate cancellation procedures cleanly and claim their rightful refunds.
Square's singapore operations and registered office
Square operates in Singapore through Squareup Pte. Ltd., a registered entity. The company maintains a registered office at Parkview Square. For general enquiries, Square may direct you to Marina Bay Financial Centre, though this address appears to be a legacy contact point. Before you initiate formal cancellation correspondence, confirm which address and contact method Square currently recognises by contacting their customer support team directly.
Subscription types you may hold
Your Square account could include subscriptions purchased through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store (managed by Apple and Google respectively, not Square), subscriptions bought directly through the Square dashboard, or integrated services such as Square Online or point-of-sale plans. Each cancellation method differs, which is why Yafee recommends identifying your subscription type before you cancel. This ensures you follow the correct procedure and avoid wasting time on the wrong platform.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you cancel digital services and subscriptions. Understanding these rights places you in a stronger legal position if Square resists your cancellation or withholds refunds.
Legal framework: what the consumer protection (Fair trading) act requires
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act mandates that businesses act honestly and fairly, disclose subscription terms clearly upfront, and honour cancellation requests without unfair delays or hidden obstacles. If Square buries cancellation options in settings, continues charging you after you cancel, or makes the cancellation process deliberately difficult, you have legal grounds to escalate the matter to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
Refunds for unused subscription periods fall squarely under the Act's fairness provisions. Square must refund you for time you did not use if you cancel within a reasonable timeframe, unless the subscription terms explicitly state a no-refund policy and you knowingly agreed to those terms before purchase. Hidden refund restrictions or charges applied after cancellation violate the Act's transparency requirements.
Your legal position when cancelling
You hold the following legal entitlements when cancelling a Square subscription in Singapore:
- The right to cancel without providing a reason, so long as the subscription has not been actively used beyond any statutory cooling-off period.
- The right to transparent, easily accessible cancellation methods within your account dashboard or through Square's registered contact address.
- The right to a refund for any prepaid subscription period that remains unused at the time of cancellation, unless you explicitly agreed in writing to a forfeiture clause.
- The right to escalate to CASE if Square refuses to comply with these requirements.
When to contact the consumers association of singapore
If Square refuses to cancel your account, continues billing after your cancellation request, or denies a refund you believe you deserve, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) formally. CASE investigates complaints free of charge and can pressure Square to comply with consumer law. Yafee recommends keeping screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and any refusal correspondence before escalating to CASE. Document the date you submitted your cancellation request and the date you expect the final billing to stop.
How to cancel Square: step-by-step procedures
Your cancellation route depends entirely on where and how you purchased your subscription. Follow the correct method below to avoid wasting time on the wrong platform.
Cancel app store or google play subscriptions
If you subscribed to a Square service through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through the same platform. Square does not manage these subscriptions directly, and cancelling in your Square dashboard will not stop App Store or Play Store billing.
- Cancel on Apple App Store (iPhone, iPad, or Mac)
- Open the App Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find the Square app or service in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap the subscription entry.
- Choose "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Apple will stop billing at the end of your current billing cycle.
- Cancel on Google Play Store (Android)
- Open the Google Play app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions".
- Choose "Subscriptions".
- Find the Square app or service.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Google will stop billing at the end of your current billing cycle.
Cancel direct Square dashboard subscriptions
If you purchased your subscription directly through the Square dashboard (not via App Store or Google Play), follow this procedure to cancel in your Square account settings.
- Log into your Square account at square.com or via the Square app.
- Navigate to Settings or Account Settings (location varies by app version).
- Look for "Subscriptions" or "Billing Plans".
- Identify the active subscription you wish to cancel.
- Select the subscription and choose "Cancel" or "End Plan".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- You should receive an email confirmation within one business day.
- Check your inbox and spam folder for the cancellation confirmation.
Cancel via formal written request to the registered office
If you cannot cancel through the dashboard or app, or if Square does not process your dashboard cancellation request within 7 days, send a formal written cancellation notice to Square's registered office. This creates a documented record for potential CASE escalation.
- Prepare a formal letter including your name, email address, account number (if known), and the date you wish cancellation to take effect.
- State clearly: "I hereby cancel my Square subscription effective immediately" or "effective [specific date]".
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and the refund date for any unused balance.
- Send the letter via registered post to:
- Squareup Pte. Ltd., Parkview Square, Singapore (confirm the full address with Square customer support before sending).
- Retain a copy of your letter and the registered post receipt.
- Follow up by email to the same address, referencing your postal cancellation, within 3 business days.
- Document the date you sent the letter for your CASE complaint record if Square does not respond.
Pricing and subscription types at a glance
Square offers multiple pricing tiers, and your subscription type determines your refund eligibility. The table below summarises common Square plans in Singapore.
| Subscription type | Cost per month (SGD) | Cancellation method | Refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square Free | Free | No cancellation needed | N/A |
| Square Standard | 29 | Dashboard or written notice | Refund for unused days if cancelled mid-cycle |
| Square Plus | 99 | Dashboard or written notice | Refund for unused days if cancelled mid-cycle |
| Square Online | Varies (starting 29) | Dashboard or written notice | Refund for unused days if cancelled mid-cycle |
| App Store / Google Play subscription | Varies | App Store or Google Play only | Refund at end of billing cycle |
| Custom POS system bundle | Varies | Written notice to registered office | Negotiable; confirm in subscription agreement |
Note: Prices and plan features change periodically. Verify current pricing and refund terms in your Square account dashboard before cancelling.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not happen instantly. Understanding the timeline helps you avoid confusion and ensure Square processes your request correctly.
Timeline from cancellation to account deactivation
Once you submit a cancellation request through your dashboard, App Store, Google Play, or registered post, the following timeline typically applies:
- Day 1: You cancel through your chosen method.
- Days 1-3: Square processes your request. You should receive an email confirmation within one business day if you cancelled via the dashboard.
- End of billing cycle: Your subscription lapses. If you cancelled mid-cycle, your final billing date depends on whether Square offers pro-rata refunds (see your subscription terms).
- Days 5-10: If you are eligible for a refund, Square deposits it to your original payment method or account balance.
- Days 10-14: Your account may remain active in read-only mode, allowing you to download transaction history and customer data.
Data extraction before you lose access
Before your account closes, download all transaction history, customer records, and invoices you may need. Once cancellation is final, accessing archived data becomes significantly more difficult or impossible. Yafee recommends exporting your Square data at least 2 days before your cancellation date.
Cancellation of payment processing
When your subscription ends, Square stops processing new in-person and online payments immediately. Customers attempting to pay through your Square point-of-sale system or online checkout will see an error. Inform your customers of your new payment method before your cancellation date takes effect.
Refunds: claiming your money back
Square refunds unused subscription credits to your original payment method. However, the process requires vigilance to ensure you receive the full amount owed.
Calculate your refund entitlement
Your refund equals the cost of the unused portion of your subscription period. For example, if you cancel 10 days into a 30-day billing cycle on a SGD 99 plan, you are entitled to a refund for the remaining 20 days. The calculation is straightforward:
Refund = (Monthly cost ÷ 30 days) × remaining days
In this example: (99 ÷ 30) × 20 = SGD 66 refund.
Refund processing and payment method
Square refunds prepaid subscription balances to the credit card, debit card, or bank account you used to purchase the subscription. Refund processing takes 5 to 10 business days after cancellation, depending on your bank. If you used a different payment method than your original purchase, contact Square to update the refund destination before you cancel.
What to do if your refund does not arrive
If 14 days have passed since cancellation and you have not received your refund, take the following steps:
- Log into your Square account and check the "Billing" or "Transactions" section for a refund record.
- Check your bank or credit card statement to see if the refund appears as a pending or posted credit.
- Email Square customer support with your account number, cancellation date, and expected refund amount.
- Request written confirmation of the refund and the expected deposit date.
- If Square does not respond within 7 days, file a complaint with CASE, attaching your cancellation confirmation and bank statement.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation can feel stressful, but most problems are preventable. Below are the pitfalls Yafee has seen business owners encounter, and how you can sidestep them.
Mistake 1: cancelling only in the app, not realising it was purchased via app store
Many users mistake the Square app dashboard for the billing system. If you purchased your subscription through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, cancelling in the Square app does nothing. You must cancel through the App Store or Play Store instead. Before you cancel anywhere, check your original purchase receipt or your payment method's transaction history to confirm where you bought the subscription.
Mistake 2: not documenting your cancellation request
If you cancel via the dashboard and receive no confirmation email, you have no proof of your request. Always screenshot the cancellation confirmation page immediately. If you use written notice to the registered office, send it via registered post and keep the receipt. These documents are essential if Square later claims you never cancelled and tries to bill you again.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation stops immediately
Square does not stop billing on the day you cancel. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day cycle, you will be charged the full month. Only pro-rata refunds for the unused portion protect you in this scenario. Verify your plan's refund policy before you cancel.
Mistake 4: cancelling without reviewing your subscription agreement
Some Square subscription agreements contain clauses that waive refunds if you cancel during a locked-in contract period. While such clauses must be transparent and prominently displayed under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, they may still apply. Review your subscription terms before you cancel. If you signed a no-refund clause, CASE may still find it unfair if it was not clearly disclosed at purchase.
Mistake 5: forgetting to update your payment processor before customers notice
Your customers will encounter payment errors the moment your Square subscription ends. Update your website, invoices, point-of-sale signage, and payment links at least 1 week before cancellation takes effect. Inform your customers of your new payment method by email to avoid losing sales.
After cancellation: checklist and next steps
You have cancelled Square successfully. Use this checklist to confirm everything is complete and your financial data is protected.
- Confirm your cancellation via the confirmation email from Square (within 1 business day of cancellation).
- Take a screenshot of the email and store it securely.
- Verify that no new charges appear on your bank or credit card statement 7 days after cancellation.
- Check your Square account dashboard to confirm the subscription status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive".
- Download all transaction history, customer data, and invoices before your account closes (typically within 14 days).
- Confirm receipt of any pro-rata refund to your original payment method (within 10 business days).
- Update your website, payment page, and invoices to remove Square as a payment option.
- Inform your customers of your new payment processor via email or in-app notification.
- Set a reminder to check your bank statement 2 weeks after cancellation to confirm no rogue charges appear.
- If you are switching to another platform, test your new payment processor on a small transaction before going live.
Comparison: Square versus alternative payment platforms
You may be cancelling Square to switch to a competitor. The table below compares Square to other widely used payment processors in Singapore, to help you make an informed decision about your next platform.
| Platform | Monthly cost (SGD) | Transaction fee | Cancellation notice | Refund policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square | Free to 99 | 1.7% + SGD 0.25 | Immediate via dashboard | Pro-rata refund for unused days |
| Stripe | Free to 99 | 1.75% + SGD 0.30 | Immediate via dashboard | Pro-rata refund for unused days |
| PayPal Commerce | Free to 79 | 2.2% + SGD 0.30 | Immediate via dashboard | Full refund if cancelled within 7 days |
| 2Checkout | Free to 99 | 2.4% + SGD 0.40 | Email notice required | No pro-rata refund for subscriptions |
| iPaymy | Free to 59 | 1.65% + SGD 0.20 | Immediate via dashboard | Pro-rata refund for unused days |
Prices and fees change frequently. Contact each provider directly to confirm current rates before switching. Yafee recommends testing a new payment processor with a small transaction before you cancel your existing provider, to avoid payment processing gaps.
