They previously assessed a 2.75% fee on all in-store transactions. When Square first started up, they charged a flat $275 monthly fee. This was great for small businesses but then they changed their pricing to the 2.75% fee. Then they changed their pricing again to 2.6% plus a 10-cent fee per transaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>This means that for a $10 transaction, the fee is now 36 cents instead of 27.5 cents. However, this change is not just for new clients. Clients that have already signed up with Square are also being assessed this new fee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Some of these clients may be asking a few serious questions: When will they change their fees again? Can it truly be considered transparent pricing if Square changes the fees whenever they feel the need to \u201ccover costs\u201d?
