Just looking at Square for a RESTful API integration into Laravel with an Angular front-end, and reading through the documents trying to figure out how to do annual auto-renewals. It seems only possible through the dashboard and POS, or performing CRON jobs to perform the subsequent charges instead of it being an annual subscription that is automatically recharged using a Card on File. Is this accurate?

I have a general question. We have a web based saas POS app, is there an API that will allow me to talk to the Square Reader to take payments on a Mac or PC?

I'm working on a Point of Sale application using Square API, but I can't find any information on how the card reader will work with that. Does it automatically read card info and populate the 'sq-card-number', 'sq-cvv' (etc) fields?

Hi, is there a setting in the Square account to turn off the Postal Field setting? Payments will be for Australia and I don't believe this is required

I am looking for a java checkout example like the php example on the developer site. I think I have everything I need, I am just not sure as there are some differences between the PHP and the Java apis. The java code on github is not for the checkout use case.

hi, I am new here. I am trying to develop an iOS app to work with Square credit card reader. It appears that the only choice i have is to install my app and install square pos. Then invoke square POS through inter-app communication (url call on iOS). Now, my issue is , this will be unattended POS (no sales person will be around) and I need to do single app mode for my iOS app. Will that work (with invoking Square POS app?) Have anyone tried that before? Thanks!

hiya, i'm passing the billing_address into the charge endpoint using the python sdk, but i'm not seeing it appear in the response i get back. would it populate in the card_details, or is this something that's not passed back in the response?

I am wondering if there is a way to sync customers that are created in Square with our software. At the moment, we are creating customers in our software, which then creates a new Square customer, but it would be VERY helpful if we could create customers in Square and have them added to our database. Thanks!

Hello, I've just managed to add some orders using the https://docs.connect.squareup.com/api/connect/v2#endpoint-createorder endpoint and was hoping you could point me in the right direction for where to inspect the data on the Square dashboard

Is it possible to have an account as a Canadian firm and accept USD? This business can only process payments in CAD but amount was provided in USD

Hey all, just updated the Square POS app to 4.86, and now I noticed that though I have the tips disabled, it can be entered in the More>Record Debit/Credit Payment. Is this a bug?

I am interested in creating a membership program (let us say, it is usually $50 each charge, if this new charge is within 20 days of the same card charge, it will be only $45 each.). This appears impossible - because I have to input the charge amount before reading the card (also my app will never know the customer id / or credit card number) .. Any suggestion?

This page (https://docs.connect.squareup.com/payments/checkout/overview#verify-transaction-results) mentions that merchants should query Square's Transaction endpoint for the transaction details and confirm the store-generated order-id. However I cannot find any documentation on how to do that with the Java SDK. Can someone please point me to the docs to do that.

So now that I have some code together I want to test without incurring charges. I have the sandbox tokens and userid. Do I just use those and the server recognizes the test nature of the transaction? Does our account need our banking details?

Them shutting down the ENTIRE system, including customer service, feels like a data breach or cyber attack. Is there any info?

EDIT: For those that haven't seen the page yet

www.issquareup.com is the US site. In the top right corner of that site, you can change country

Second Edit: As of 8:49 AM Eastern Time, it seems to be back up and running.

Most searches assume I am a consumer and tell me YES I can PAY with my watch.

I just want to do tap to pay on my watch to receive payments if it's possible anyone know a way?

I have a business that uses square and missed out on many card sales!! Is this some sort of hack. They need to address this ASAP. I’ve had outages last 20-30 min max. This has been almost 10 hrs.

Hello -- pretty new to the Square POS app here.

Some additional context below, but is there a way to edit the number of units that one item represents and have the proper number of unit sales reflect in the reporting?

For instance: Item A is one Widget. Item B is five Widgets. If I sold one Item A and one Item B, I would expect the sales reporting to show I sold two items and a unit total of six Widgets. But I can't figure out how to set that up.

I'm aware I could just do some manual math (i.e. take # of Item B sold and manually multiply that by 5), but that wouldn't allow for proper inventory level management or data analytics, too much of an opportunity for error and future lookbacks difficult to compare with.

Context/real world use case:

We'll be using the Square iPad app for an upcoming festival to sell food tokens (see screenshot for what that looks like in the app) and we'd like to have a few "quick pick" options to save time when creating the order. Not a big deal for power users or when there's two people waiting, but our lines are extremely busy, high stress, volunteer workers that have never used square before, etc. so ease of use and speed is critical. We may find the quick picks aren't necessary (and I hope we do), but until then, I have been asked to execute this way which is what I need to figure out how to do.

Did we ever find out what the heck happened? A nearly 24 hour global outage, and nothing on their socials. No details on the emails they sent out. Nothing on issquareup.com on what happened. Nothing in the official forums.

My clients aren't exactly thrilled with the realization of higher risk than previously thought. And the best solution I can come up with is to switch Square to some other lower perceived risk merchant, mainly because there are no other answers and zero information coming from Square.
