Federal law requires that all financial institutions verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
The following information is required to activate your Vagaro merchant account:
-
Full legal name
-
Social Security number (SSN) and Employee Identification Number (EIN): Employee identification number (EIN) is not required if you are a sole proprietor.
-
US-based bank account
-
Date of birth: Current credit card regulations require our customers to be 18 years of age or older to create a merchant account.
-
US home mailing address

Your bank account
Banking industry regulations and federal law require us to ask for the Social Security number, date of birth, and full name of all our merchant account holders. There is no way to create a merchant account without this information.
Even if you plan to use our merchant services as a business or organization, to create an account, you must provide your individual name, mailing address, date of birth, valid SSN, and EIN if you are not a sole proprietor.
When signing up, you must classify how you'll use our merchant services by selecting your business type. Vagaro will use this information to provide you with the best features to help you grow your business.
If you've already set your business type and want to change it, send a request to support@vagaro.com.

what about if you are using a square reader instead? Can we still use this feature?
Do you have this service in Ontario Canada
Hi Surjeet,
As of this time we do not offer Credit Card Processing outside of the U.S. We are looking to expand to other countries in the future, so stay tuned for further updates.
