Payments Square Connect<\/strong> is your WooCommerce Square<\/strong> integration \u2014 built for store owners who want Square payments that just work<\/em> \u2014 without checkout breaking, without surprise disconnects, and without inventory falling out of step.<\/p>\n\n Customers pay on Square Hosted Checkout<\/strong> (Square's secure page, not yours). You get WooCommerce Square<\/strong> orders with refunds from wp-admin<\/strong>, plus Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms payments, payment link buttons, and subscriptions \u2014 all through one Square connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Why merchants choose this plugin:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Sell on WooCommerce, run your business on Square \u2014 keep both sides honest with WooCommerce Square<\/strong> inventory sync.<\/p>\n\n When a product SKU in WooCommerce matches your Square catalog<\/strong>, checkout sends that line item to Square with the right catalog link. After payment, Square inventory updates automatically<\/strong> so your Square Dashboard reflects what actually sold.<\/p>\n\n No manual mapping screens \u2014 use the same SKU on both sides<\/strong> and you're done. No matching SKU? The product still goes to checkout by name and price<\/strong> so nothing blocks the sale.<\/p>\n\n Tip:<\/strong> Use matching SKUs on WooCommerce products and Square catalog variations for the smoothest inventory sync.<\/p>\n\n Square Connect should not die quietly after a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n This plugin renews your Square access token automatically<\/strong> (daily checks and before API calls) so payment links, checkout settings, and catalog lookups are less likely to fail with a stale connection. The Connect screen shows when your token was last renewed \u2014 reconnect once after updating to pick up the latest permissions.<\/p>\n\n Add a Pay Now<\/strong> button on any page or post \u2014 no WooCommerce or form builder required.<\/p>\n\n Shortcode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Alias: Gutenberg block<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Shortcode block:<\/strong> add a Shortcode block and paste the shortcode above if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n Everything is under Payments Square Connect<\/strong> in the admin sidebar:<\/p>\n\n Every payment uses this screen first.<\/p>\n\n Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n WooCommerce Square<\/strong> hosted checkout connects your store to Square without embedding card fields in your theme. WooCommerce itself is optional<\/strong> \u2014 install it only if you sell through a WooCommerce store.<\/p>\n\n At checkout:<\/strong> the customer chooses your Square gateway, is sent to Square to pay, then returns to your Order received<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n\n Subscriptions (optional):<\/strong> create plans in Square, refresh Subscription Plans<\/strong> in this plugin, then pick a plan on each WooCommerce subscription product.<\/p>\n\n Refund one-time WooCommerce Square<\/strong> orders from wp-admin. The plugin sends the refund to Square using the original payment ID; funds return on Square's normal refund timeline.<\/p>\n\n How to refund an order<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Full vs partial refunds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n When refunds work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Configure webhooks (recommended)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Add your plugin webhook URL in the Square Developer Dashboard<\/strong> so payment IDs are saved even if the buyer closes the browser before returning. Find the URL under Payments Square Connect \u2192 Connect<\/strong> (Webhook URL field).<\/p>\n\n Sandbox testing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Not available through WooCommerce Square refunds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Contact Form 7 is optional<\/strong>. Use it for donations, fees, registrations, and similar forms.<\/p>\n\n Payment methods:<\/strong> One-time CF7 payments use Square Hosted Checkout<\/strong> \u2014 the same page as WooCommerce Square<\/strong> checkout. Buyers can pay with Apple Pay<\/strong>, Google Pay<\/strong>, Cash App Pay<\/strong>, Afterpay\/Clearpay<\/strong>, or card when those methods are enabled under Checkout Settings<\/strong> (and Afterpay in the Square Dashboard). No extra setup per form.<\/p>\n\n One-time payment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Subscription signup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Note:<\/strong> Cash App Pay and Afterpay are for one-time CF7 payments only \u2014 not subscription signup.<\/p>\n\n WPForms is optional<\/strong>. Use it for donations, fees, registrations, and similar forms with the familiar WPForms builder.<\/p>\n\n\n
