Configuration to settlement

How Square fits the Invoice Crowd payment boundary

Connection, customer checkout and final settlement are separate stages. Read the status and limitations before showing the method on a live invoice.

Connect the merchant account

Credentials and mode stay tied to the selected business.

Enter only the fields the provider requires

Application ID, write-only access token, location ID and Live/Sandbox mode.

  • Selected business profile
  • Explicit live or test mode
  • Write-only secret editing

Confirm provider eligibility before rollout

Square controls merchant countries, location availability, currencies, fees and account review.

  • Merchant country and account
  • Invoice and settlement currency
  • Provider fees and review

Understand the customer path

Availability is evaluated before a customer enters checkout.

Use the supported one-time flow

Square Payment Links checkout is active and the completed provider payment is revalidated before local settlement.

  • Server-owned amount
  • Bound invoice allocation
  • Provider-controlled payment step

Read the recurring-payment boundary separately

Existing marker-bound renewals and lifecycle handling are supported; new Square subscription creation is retired.

  • One-time and recurring differ
  • Existing bindings may be compatibility-only
  • Retired creators stay unavailable

Verify before recording money

The final local state follows provider evidence, not the browser.

  • Allocation, amount and currency
  • Successful provider state

Keep the current limitation visible

Invoice Crowd does not create new Square subscriptions through the retired legacy creator.

  • No inferred settlement
  • Pending stays pending
  • Mismatch fails closed

Integration facts

What to verify before using Square

The fields below describe the current Invoice Crowd path; the provider remains the source for merchant eligibility, fees and regional availability.

  • Availability

    Active one-time checkout

  • One-time payment

    Square Payment Links checkout is active and the completed provider payment is revalidated before local settlement.

  • Recurring payments

    Existing marker-bound renewals and lifecycle handling are supported; new Square subscription creation is retired.

  • Merchant setup

    Application ID, write-only access token, location ID and Live/Sandbox mode.

  • Settlement evidence

    Completed Square payment, exact merchant/location and mode, invoice allocation, amount, currency and stable payment identity.

  • Regional fit

    Square controls merchant countries, location availability, currencies, fees and account review.

  • Current boundary

    Invoice Crowd does not create new Square subscriptions through the retired legacy creator.

  • Invoice data

    Amount, currency and allocation are derived from the current server-side invoice state.

  • Customer result

    A provider screen or browser return is a locator, not sufficient settlement proof.

  • Retries

    Durable attempts and stable provider identities prevent an uncertain response from becoming an unbounded duplicate payment.

  • Provider fees

    Gateway fees, exchange costs and settlement timing come from the merchant agreement, not the Invoice Crowd subscription.

  • Alternative gateways

    Configure another active provider when this gateway does not support the merchant, customer, currency or collection model.
