Is Square down?
Operationalchecked moments ago
We reached Square from all 10 regions we check.
As of Sep 23, 2026, 9:09 AM UTC, Square answered RealUptime's probes in all 10 regions that returned a reading.
No outage recorded in the 46 days we have measured Square (since Aug 8, 2026).
Square reports: Minor incident (“Partial System Degradation”)
Square reports an active incident: Service Disruption (minor incident, since Sep 21, 2026, 7:40 PM UTC)
This is Square's own claim about their service, shown separately from what we measured. We never change our own numbers based on what a vendor reports, and this reading never changes theirs. Read both.

Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Square -- it cannot diagnose Square's own systems.

These are unverified reports from people using Square, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Square yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.
Recent outages
measured entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring Square since August 8, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

Monitor your own site the same way
This page shows what we see when we check this service, using the same ten regions, for a site you run. RealUptime Monitor watches your own servers from inside your network, and it starts free.

Get told when we measure this
We will tell you when our probes stop reaching Square, and again when they can reach it again. That is our own measurement from ten regions, not Square's status page. No account, no card.

Live, from this page's own readings.[](https://realuptime.io/outages/square)<a href="https://realuptime.io/outages/square"><img src="https://realuptime.io/outages/square/badge.svg?days=30" alt="Square uptime measured by RealUptime"></a>The badge shows the share of our probes that succeeded over the last 30 days, and the window is printed on it so the number always says what period it covers. If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so: it will not show green on data we cannot vouch for. Free, no account, and it links back here.

What Square's SLA implies, from our measurement
At or above your target
We measured none of downtime for Square over the last 30 days, which is 100% uptime by our reading. A 99.9% target allows 43 minutes over that period.
By our measurement there is no shortfall to claim for this period.
This is computed from our own probe measurements, not from Square's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.
