## Is it down for you, or for everyone?

A status page shows what the vendor has confirmed, which often lags what users see. [Run a live check of squareup.com](https://getuptimely.com/is-it-down/squareup.com) to see whether it answers right now.

## Get alerted when Square has an incident

Uptimely’s External Status Page monitor watches Square’s status page and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when it reports a problem, next to the monitors for your own services.

### Is Square down right now?

The status at the top of this page is Square's own, read from its public status page every couple of minutes. It shows what Square's team has confirmed. For an independent check of whether squareup.com answers right now, use the live check on the is-it-down page.

### Where is Square's official status page?

Square publishes its status at https://www.issquareup.com. This page shows the same data with the recent incident history in one place, and links each incident to Square's own write-up.

### Why does Square not work for me when its status says operational?

A status page lists the incidents a vendor has confirmed, and confirmation takes time: problems often reach users minutes before they reach the status page, and some partial or regional problems never appear on it. Your own network, account or region can also be the cause.

### How can I get alerted when Square has an incident?

Add an External Status Page monitor in Uptimely pointed at https://www.issquareup.com. It reads the page on a schedule and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when Square reports a problem, beside the monitors for your own services.
