I suppose that attempting to profit from the crisis is to be expected, but what about square kicking in? Like reducing the amount they take from the transaction by half and adding it to what goes to the business?

I don't want to speculate about Square's intentions and know nothing of their margins, but Square seems to primarily be a processor for in-person transactions which are the most affected ones right now. I imagine that Square's business may be way down right now as well and thus have a hard time offering discounts.
It appears Square is doing many things to help sellers, including refunding all subscription fees for march. https://www.instagram.com/p/B94ie84p-_b/?igshid=6zegvcfdithd
