Square Shut You Down Without Warning? Join the Club.

You log in to check your sales, only to see your account’s been deactivated. Your funds? On hold. Your support ticket? “Under review.” And just like that, your business is frozen in place.

If that’s your story, you’re not alone.

This Isn’t a Fluke. It’s a Pattern.

At Redde, we talk to business owners every week who’ve had their Square accounts terminated or restricted with little to no explanation. It usually happens when they need their funds the most.

☑️ Here are just a few anonymized examples:

🔧 The Mobile Repair Shop: Operating for 2 years with zero issues, until Square flagged their account for “potential fraud” after a high-ticket repair. The kicker? The customer had already had the repair done and left a five-star review.

💊 The Supplement Company: Even though Square approved their account initially, it was terminated shortly after the first payout. Square doesn’t support all supplements, but doesn’t always make that clear up front—until it’s too late.

📷 The Event Photographer: After booking several weddings in one weekend, Square froze $18,000 in deposits, calling it “future delivery risk.” The events were already scheduled, contracts in place. Didn’t matter.

🛍️ The E-Commerce Boutique: A TikTok went viral. Orders exploded overnight. Square flagged the spike in volume as a red flag, suspended the account, and placed a rolling reserve on all future sales.

💻 The Digital Consultant: A single disputed charge turned into an all-out shutdown, despite a strong history and signed client contracts. Square offered no appeal, no person to talk to—just a generic email and a 90-day hold.

Why Does This Keep Happening? 

Square was built for micro-merchants, pop-up shops, and quick onboarding—not growing businesses. It prioritizes speed and automation over deep understanding of your business.

☑️ Here’s what gets businesses flagged:

- Sudden growth or high-ticket sales

- Chargebacks—even when you win them

- Selling anything remotely “regulated”

- Too many deposits in a short time

- Prepayment or “future delivery” models

If your business doesn’t fit Square’s risk appetite, it’s just a matter of time.

How Redde Payments Handles It Differently

We’ve built our business around the exact merchants Square walks away from. If you’ve outgrown the swipe-and-go phase, you need a processor that actually gets you.

☑️ Here’s how we do it differently:

- 💬 Human-led underwriting: We review your business upfront—so there are no surprises later.

- 👋 Real support: When something goes wrong, you talk to a human. Not an autoresponder.

- ⚠️ High-risk friendly: Supplements, digital services, e-commerce, and fast-scaling brands? Bring it on.

- 💸 Payout transparency: We don’t believe in holding your funds just because your volume jumped.

If You’ve Been Burned by Square, We’re Here.

Square makes it easy to get started… but way too easy to get shut down. Redde is here for the next phase of your business. The phase where you need reliability, support, and a partner who doesn’t panic when you succeed.

Let’s get you back on track.
