Square integration

To allow your customers to pay with Square you must add your Square API Keys to the plugin.

Getting the API Keys

  1. Log in to your Square Developer account
  2. After being redirected to the Dashboard, click on the + sign in the Applications section to create a new application.
  3. Give your application a name (usually the name of your website) and click Save.
  4. You will be taken to your application. Copy the Application ID and the Access token keys in WP Booking System Settings Payments Square.
  5. In the menu on the left-hand side of the page, click on Locations
  6. Copy the Location ID and add it to WP Booking System Settings Payments Square
  7. Click Save Changes.

Configuring the add-on

 

Active Toggle whether or not this payment method is active.
Display Name The name of the payment method displayed in the Payment Method form field.
Description A description of the payment method displayed in the Payment Method form field.
Invoice Item Name The description that will appear in the Square dashboard.
Capture payment when accepting booking If enabled, when the client makes a payment, their credit card will only be Authorized (the money will be put on hold for 7 days) and the payment will be Captured (money transferred in your account) only when you accept the booking. Accepting the booking after 7 days will result in a failed payment. The funds are released if the booking is deleted.

We strongly recommend you first test the payment integration using the test mode. You can use these test credit card numbers, provided by Square: https://developer.squareup.com/docs/devtools/sandbox/payments . Also, make sure you enable Sandbox mode from the plugin’s settings.
