In reply to Daniel.

If your clients were previously selling CBD or hemp-derived products and connecting to WordPress.com, they were most likely breaking Automattic's terms of service. We ran a story just last year where a merchant was disconnected from Automattic's service for this. That is what changed with this partnership. Automattic now allows U.S. merchants to use its services if they go through the Square payment gateway.

I haven't seen anything about Square shutting down anything yet. The service is still available on their site. Is it just the "beta" (early access) part of the program, meaning that will be completely open?
