Onsuki vs Square Appointments: can you use Square in the Philippines?

Onsuki2 min read

Square Appointments is booking software from Block, the company behind Square's card readers. Owners here ask whether they can use it. The short answer: Square's own help center says it takes card payments in eight countries, and the Philippines is not one of them. Onsuki is built for businesses here, with payments in pesos.

This page compares the two from each company's public pages, checked on 2 November 2026. Details can change, so check Square's site before you decide, and tell us at support@onsuki.com if anything here is out of date.

Can you use Square in the Philippines?

Square's help center says card payment acceptance with the Square app is available in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Spain, and that card processing outside those countries is not supported. Square's booking takes payment through Square, so a business here cannot take card payments through it.

What to use instead

Onsuki is built for businesses here. Clients pay to your own GCash, QR Ph, or bank account and you approve each receipt, you can ask for a deposit when they book, and you can request PayMongo from Settings for cards online. Your team works from one calendar, and you can sell packages and memberships and book rooms and equipment. See how to take GCash and QR Ph payments.
