Partnering with 4Square means operating within a secure, regulation-friendly framework
Regulatory Framework
As a merchant partner, you benefit from 4Square's carefully designed regulatory framework that provides clarity and compliance assurance. Our points system is designed to operate outside the scope of traditional payment processing regulations.
4Square is not a payment processor or facilitator. Customers redeem pre-purchased 4Square points at your business — no payment is made by the customer to the merchant at checkout.
This framework offers several key advantages for merchants:
- Reduced regulatory burden compared to payment processing
- Clear separation between point redemption and payment processing
- Streamlined settlement process with direct merchant reimbursement
Direct Relationship Model
4Square eliminates third-party payment processors from the equation, creating a straightforward relationship between merchants, 4Square, and customers.
Customer
Purchases points directly from 4Square and redeems them at participating merchants.
4Square
Manages points transactions and provides direct reimbursement to merchants.
Merchant
Accepts point redemptions and receives reimbursement from 4Square.
With 4Square, you establish a direct partnership rather than working through multiple payment processors or facilitators.
Our direct relationship model eliminates the complexity typically associated with payment ecosystems while maintaining all the benefits of a customer loyalty program.
Transparent Policies & Security
We believe in complete transparency in all our merchant partnerships. Our comprehensive policies and security measures are designed to protect both merchants and customers while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Merchant Agreement
Clear terms and conditions for all merchant partners with straightforward revenue sharing model and reimbursement schedules.
Security Protocols
Enterprise-grade security with encryption, secure API endpoints, and comprehensive data protection measures compliant with industry standards.
Reimbursement Policy
Consistent, reliable reimbursement for redeemed points with detailed reporting and reconciliation through our merchant dashboard.
Compliance Documentation
Comprehensive documentation to help merchants understand their responsibilities and maintain compliance with 4Square's standards.
Partner with confidence knowing that 4Square's regulatory framework, direct relationship model, and transparent policies create a secure and compliant environment for your business.
