How much does Square Loyalty cost in Australia?
Published · Updated
Square Loyalty costs A$49 a month per location for up to 500 loyalty visits, A$99 for 501 to 1,500 and A$149 above that, after a 30-day free trial. A loyalty visit is any sign-up, point earned or reward redeemed. For one location that is A$588 to A$1,788 a year.
The three price tiers
Square charges for Square Loyalty per location, per calendar month. The tier depends on how many loyalty visits that location has in the month.
| Loyalty visits a month (per location) | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 500 | A$49 | A$588 |
| 501 to 1,500 | A$99 | A$1,188 |
| 1,501 or more | A$149 | A$1,788 |

What counts as a loyalty visit
Square counts a loyalty visit each time a customer:
- signs up (enrols) in your program,
- earns a point, or
- redeems a reward.
So a busy shop moves up the tiers quickly. For example, if 20 customers a day earn a point, that is about 600 loyalty visits a month: the A$99 tier. Sign-ups and rewards add to that count too.
What it costs over a year
Worked out from Square's monthly prices, if every location stays in the same tier all year:
| Locations | 0 to 500 visits | 501 to 1,500 visits | 1,501+ visits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A$588 | A$1,188 | A$1,788 |
| 2 | A$1,176 | A$2,376 | A$3,576 |
| 3 | A$1,764 | A$3,564 | A$5,364 |
The loyalty cost calculator works this out for any monthly fee and number of locations.
What you get for the money
According to Square's own pages (checked 27 September 2026):
- Points without a scan. Square says customers earn points on every purchase, even cash, made through Square Point of Sale, Square Invoices or Square Online.
- An Apple Wallet pass. Customers can add a loyalty pass to Apple Wallet. Square's Australian help centre says the pass is for Apple Wallet only at this time.
- Automatic texts when a customer earns points or a reward.
- Email marketing through Square Marketing, which is sold separately, from A$20 a month (Square's pricing page).
- No long-term contract.
Is it worth it?
If every sale already goes through Square and A$49 to A$149 a month per location is small change for you, the automatic points are genuinely handy. If not, the sums get harder. We go through them in is the Square loyalty program worth it?
A cheaper alternative
Rewardtree is a loyalty program that works beside any till, Square included:
- Your customers scan the QR on your counter with their phone camera and get your stamp card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Nobody needs an app.
- Each visit they scan the same QR for one stamp, checked against where your shop is.
- It's 60 days free with no credit card, then A$9.99 a month per shop, or A$99 a year per shop. That's our end-of-year special for businesses that sign up by 31 December 2026: you keep it for every shop, including shops you add later, for as long as you stay. From 1 January 2027, businesses that sign up pay A$19.99 a month or A$199 a year.
The honest trade-off: with Rewardtree your customers do one quick scan at the counter, instead of points adding up by themselves inside the Square payment, and it's a stamp card, not points. See Rewardtree vs Square Loyalty for the full side-by-side, including what Square does better.
