Canadian notes
- Interac debit supported, but Interac cards do not work in offline mode (they auto-decline when back online).
- Square says it is not compatible with Quebec's mandatory WEB-SRM billing module.
Good fit
Cafés, takeout, food trucks and small dining rooms that want to start cheap.
Watch out for
Not for Quebec restaurants; percentage fees get expensive as card volume grows.
