Why This Happens
Square has determined that your business type falls under their prohibited or restricted categories. Square's Acceptable Use Policy excludes certain industries including adult content, firearms, controlled substances, gambling, and other high-risk categories. This determination is typically made during application review or ongoing account monitoring.
Example Notification
"We're unable to continue processing payments for your business because it falls under a category we do not support."
