You get WooCommerce Square<\/strong> orders with refunds from wp-admin<\/strong>, Pay for Order \/ invoice links<\/strong>, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms, payment link buttons (shortcode, Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder), and subscriptions \u2014 all through one Square connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Why merchants choose this plugin:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Many Square plugins embed card fields in WooCommerce checkout<\/strong> and\/or run heavy bidirectional catalog sync<\/strong>. Payments Square Connect<\/strong> uses Square Hosted Checkout<\/strong> \u2014 buyers pay on Square's page, then return to your site.<\/p>\n\n Typical on-site \/ sync-heavy plugins:<\/strong> card fields that break on checkout, nonce and EMPTY_VALUE<\/strong> errors on pay-for-order pages, long sync jobs, duplicate products, stock overwrites, expired tokens, orders marked paid before Square confirms, and refund errors from wp-admin.<\/p>\n\n This plugin:<\/strong> hosted checkout only, Pay for Order<\/strong> links without on-site card fields, simple SKU-based inventory (no full catalog import), orders stay Pending<\/strong> until Square confirms payment, automatic OAuth renewal, and WooCommerce refunds when a Square payment ID is stored. No paid tier for core checkout.<\/p>\n\n Choose on-site sync<\/strong> if you need full catalog mirroring or gift cards in checkout. Choose hosted checkout<\/strong> if you want the simplest, most reliable path \u2014 especially when card forms or sync jobs cause problems.<\/p>\n\n After activation, open Payments Square Connect \u2192 Get started<\/strong> for the onboarding wizard: Sandbox or Live, connect Square, pick a location, enable WooCommerce gateway in one click, and test checkout. Or use Payments Square Connect<\/strong> for full connection settings.<\/p>\n\n Pay for Order:<\/strong> On unpaid orders, use Email payment link to customer<\/strong> or Copy payment link<\/strong> on the order screen. Customers pay on Square \u2014 no card form on the order-pay page.<\/p>\n\n Refunds:<\/strong> Open a paid order, click Refund<\/strong>, enter an amount. Requires a stored Square payment ID (from buyer return or webhook). See FAQ for troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n Subscriptions (optional):<\/strong> Create plans in Square, copy IDs from Subscription Plans<\/strong>, assign to WooCommerce subscription products.<\/p>\n\n Add a Pay Now<\/strong> button without WooCommerce or a form plugin:<\/p>\n\n All use the same Square connection and Square Hosted Checkout<\/strong> with your enabled wallets.<\/p>\n\n Contact Form 7:<\/strong> WPForms:<\/strong> Add Square Hosted Checkout<\/strong> field; enable Payments Square Connect<\/strong> under form Payments.<\/p>\n\n Fluent Forms Pro:<\/strong> Enable Payments Square Connect<\/strong> under Global Settings \u2192 Payment \u2192 Payment Methods<\/strong>; add a Payment Method<\/strong> field to your form.<\/p>\n\n Form and payment-link payments are refunded in the Square Dashboard<\/strong>, not WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n Under Payments Square Connect<\/strong> in the sidebar:<\/p>\n\n When SKUs match<\/strong> between WooCommerce and Square catalog, paid orders can update Square inventory. No matching SKU? Checkout still works by product name and price.<\/p>\n\n Access tokens renew automatically<\/strong> (daily checks and before API calls). The Connect screen shows last renewal time.<\/p>\n\n No. You can take payments through Contact Form 7 or WPForms without WooCommerce.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. If you only sell through WooCommerce or use WPForms, you do not need Contact Form 7.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. WooCommerce and Contact Form 7 work independently. Use WPForms only if you want the WPForms builder.<\/p><\/dd>\n Payments Square Connect<\/strong> in the WordPress admin sidebar.<\/p><\/dd>\n Sandbox<\/strong> is for testing \u2014 no real money. Live<\/strong> is for real payments. Start in Sandbox, then switch to Live when you are ready.<\/p><\/dd>\n Square sends them back automatically after payment. WooCommerce shoppers see the order confirmation page. Form visitors return to the same form with a success message.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Create plans in Square, then use Subscription Plans<\/strong> in this plugin to connect them to WooCommerce products, Contact Form 7 forms, or WPForms.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Payments Square Connect<\/strong> does not add a platform or application fee on top of your payments. You pay Square's normal card processing rates only.<\/p><\/dd>\nPay on Square's page. Stay connected. Keep stock in sync.<\/h4>\n\n
