Stay connected. Keep stock in sync. **Payments Square Connect** is a **WooCommerce plugin** that adds a **Square payment gateway** with **Square Hosted Checkout** — **Square for payments** on WordPress and a reliable **WooCommerce Square** integration without checkout breaking, surprise disconnects, or inventory falling out of step. **Alternative to on-site WooCommerce Square card fields:** send buyers to **Square Hosted Checkout** instead of embedding Square’s Web Payments SDK in your theme. Customers pay on **Square Hosted Checkout** (Square’s secure page). You get **WooCommerce Square** orders with **refunds from wp-admin**, **Pay for Order / invoice links**, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms, payment link buttons (shortcode, Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder), and subscriptions — all through **one Square connection**. Works with **WooCommerce Blocks checkout** and classic checkout. **Why merchants choose this plugin:** * **No extra plugin fee** on top of Square’s processing rates * **24/7 support** — email, WhatsApp, and the WordPress.org forum ([support docs](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/support/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=support)) * **Hosted checkout** — no card form in your theme; fewer theme and JavaScript conflicts ([getting started](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/getting-started/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=getting_started)) * **Automatic token renewal** — Square OAuth stays connected in the background ( [getting started](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/getting-started/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=getting_started)) * **WooCommerce refunds** — full or partial refunds from the order screen ([refunds guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/refunds/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=refunds)) * **WPForms & Fluent Forms refunds** — refund form payments from wp-admin (WPForms Payments, or Fluent Forms transaction screen) * **SKU inventory sync** — matching SKUs update Square stock when orders are paid( [stock sync](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/stock-sync/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=stock_sync)) * **Digital wallets** — Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, Afterpay (when enabled in Square) ([checkout settings](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/checkout-settings/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=checkout_settings)) * **Card data never touches WordPress** #### Help shape the next free features We are building upcoming plugin updates based on what merchants ask for — **no extra plugin fee** on top of Square’s processing rates. [ Request a feature or vote on our roadmap](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/feature-requests/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=feature_requests) Tell us what you need for WooCommerce, forms, payment links, or refunds. Popular, practical requests guide our public roadmap. #### Why Choose Hosted Checkout Over On-Site Fields? If you searched for **Square payment** for WordPress, you have probably seen on- site card fields break after a theme update, a plugin conflict, or a WooCommerce upgrade. **Payments Square Connect** is a **no-code Square integration**: connect Square once, enable the gateway, and send buyers to **Square Hosted Checkout** — no card form embedded in your theme. **Fix WooCommerce Square nonce error and EMPTY_VALUE issues:** On-site Square fields often fail with nonce errors, session timeouts, and **EMPTY_VALUE** on Pay for Order pages. Hosted checkout removes those failure points — customers pay on Square’s secure page, then return to your site when payment is confirmed. **Prevent checkout breaking:** No JavaScript card SDK fighting your theme, page builder, or caching plugin. Fewer abandoned carts caused by broken payment fields at the worst moment. **Square payment gateway without the headaches:** One connection powers **WooCommerce Square**, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Contact Form 7, payment links, and subscriptions. Orders stay **Pending** until Square confirms payment. **Pay for Order** invoice links work without on-site card fields. Simple SKU-based inventory sync when product SKUs match — no heavy catalog import required. **Zero platform fees:** You pay Square’s normal processing rates only. No paid tier for core checkout. **Choose on-site sync plugins** if you need full catalog mirroring or gift cards in checkout. **Choose hosted checkout** if you want the most reliable **Square payment** path for WooCommerce and forms. #### Who is this plugin for? **Best for:** * Merchants who want **Square hosted checkout** instead of on-site card fields * Stores hitting **payment nonce is missing**, JavaScript conflicts, or **EMPTY_VALUE** on Pay for Order * **WooCommerce + forms** (WPForms, Fluent Forms, Contact Form 7) with **one Square connection** * Simple **SKU-based inventory sync** when product SKUs match — without full catalog import * **Pay for Order** invoice links and automatic payment reminders for unpaid orders **Not the right fit if you need:** * Full two-way **Square POS WooCommerce catalog sync** (images, categories, bulk import) * **Saved cards on file** at WooCommerce checkout (hosted checkout redirects to Square) * **Square Gift Cards** redeemed inside WooCommerce checkout fields * Replacing the official **WooCommerce Square** plugin feature-for-feature — this is a **hosted checkout alternative**, not a sync clone #### Get started [ Setup documentation](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/getting-started/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=getting_started) After activation, open **Payments Square Connect Get started** 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** for full connection settings. #### WooCommerce checkout payment gateway [ WooCommerce guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/woocommerce/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=woocommerce) This **WooCommerce payment gateway** sends customers to **Square Hosted Checkout** at cart checkout — classic checkout and **WooCommerce Blocks checkout** supported. 1. Connect Square and save a **location**. 2. **WooCommerce Settings Payments Payments Square Connect** — turn the gateway on. 3. At checkout, customers pay on Square Hosted Checkout and return to your **Order received** page. **Pay for Order:** [ Pay for Order guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/pay-for-order/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=pay_for_order)— On unpaid orders, use **Email payment link to customer** or **Copy payment link** on the order screen. Customers pay on Square — no card form on the order-pay page. Optional **automatic payment reminders** (WooCommerce Settings Payments Payments Square Connect). **Refunds:** [ Refunds guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/refunds/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=refunds)— Open a paid order, click **Refund**, enter an amount. Requires a stored Square payment ID (from buyer return or webhook). See [webhooks guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/webhooks/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=webhooks) and FAQ for troubleshooting. **Subscriptions (optional):** [ Subscriptions guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/subscriptions/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=subscriptions)— Create plans in Square, copy IDs from **Subscription Plans**, assign to WooCommerce subscription products. #### Payment link buttons [ Payment links guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/payment-links/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=payment_links) Add a **Pay Now** button without WooCommerce or a form plugin: * **Shortcode:** `[square_payment_link amount="25.00" label="Pay Now"]` (alias:`[ square_pay_link]`) * **Gutenberg:** search **Square Payment Link** in the block inserter * **Elementor:** **Square Payment Link** widget * **Beaver Builder:** **Square Payment Link** module under **Payments Square Connect** #### Form plugins (optional) All use the same Square connection and **Square Hosted Checkout** with your enabled wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, Afterpay when enabled in Square). #### Contact Form 7 Square payment [ CF7 guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/contact-form-7/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=contact_form_7) Add `[square_pay amount:25.00]` or `[square_pay amount-field:your-field]` to any form. Subscriptions: `[square_subscribe variation:PLAN_ID name:"Plan" amount:15.00]`. No WooCommerce required. #### WPForms Square payment [ WPForms guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/wpforms/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=wpforms) Add the **Square Hosted Checkout** field and enable **Payments Square Connect** under form Payments. Refund from **WPForms Payments** in wp-admin. #### Fluent Forms Square gateway [ Fluent Forms guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/fluent-forms/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=fluent_forms) Works with **Fluent Forms free and Pro** — no Pro license required for Square payments. Enable **Payments Square Connect** under **Global Settings Payment Payment Methods**, add a **Payment Method** field, and use payment fields (Custom Payment Amount, Payment Item, Quantity). Square Hosted Checkout totals match the Fluent Forms payment summary( price × quantity, multiple items, select/radio/checkbox options). Refund from the submission payment screen in wp-admin. Contact Form 7 and payment link buttons are refunded in the **Square Dashboard**. WooCommerce, WPForms, and Fluent Forms support wp-admin refunds when a Square payment ID is stored. #### Admin screens Under **Payments Square Connect** in the sidebar: * **Get started** — onboarding wizard * **Payments Square Connect** — OAuth, Sandbox/Live, location, webhook URL * **Checkout Settings (Beta)** — wallets, tipping, branding (Live mode) * **Subscription Plans** — view and copy Square plan IDs * **Documentation** — full guides on our docs site * **Support** — email, WhatsApp, forum #### Stock sync & connection [ Stock sync guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/stock-sync/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=stock_sync)· [ Webhooks guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/webhooks/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=webhooks) When **SKUs match** between WooCommerce and Square catalog, paid orders can update Square inventory. No matching SKU? Checkout still works by product name and price. Access tokens **renew automatically** (daily checks and before API calls). The Connect screen shows last renewal time. #### Requirements * WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+, Square seller account * WooCommerce (classic or Blocks checkout), Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms, or WooCommerce Subscriptions — each optional ## Screenshots [⌊Connect your Square account, choose Sandbox or Live, and pick a location.⌉⌊Connect your Square account, choose Sandbox or Live, and pick a location.⌉[ Connect your Square account, choose Sandbox or Live, and pick a location.

Activate **Payments Square Connect**. 2. Open **Payments Square Connect** in the admin sidebar. 3. Choose **Sandbox** or **Live**, sign in with Square, and save a location. 4. Enable **WooCommerce Square** checkout, WPForms, Contact Form 7, Fluent Forms, and/or add payment link buttons if you need them. ## FAQ ### Is this a WooCommerce payment gateway plugin? Yes. Enable **Payments Square Connect** under **WooCommerce Settings Payments**. It appears as a **WooCommerce payment gateway** at checkout and on **Pay for Order** pages. Customers complete payment on **Square Hosted Checkout** and return to your store — no on-site card fields, which helps fix common **WooCommerce checkout** errors (nonce missing, JavaScript conflicts, caching). Works with classic checkout and **WooCommerce Blocks checkout**. ### Payment nonce is missing — can hosted checkout fix it? Yes — for most stores. The **payment nonce is missing** error usually means Square’s on-site Web Payments SDK could not tokenize the card (JavaScript conflicts, caching, page builders, or minification blocking `square-credit-card.js`). **Payments Square Connect** avoids on-site nonce generation entirely: customers pay on **Square Hosted Checkout**, then return to your site. This also helps **EMPTY_VALUE** and broken Pay for Order pages that rely on embedded card fields. ### How is this different from WooCommerce Square? The official **WooCommerce Square** plugin embeds card fields in checkout and offers heavy **catalog / inventory sync** with Square POS. **Payments Square Connect** uses **Square Hosted Checkout** only — no card form in your theme — plus forms, payment links, and light **SKU-based stock sync**. Choose WooCommerce Square for full POS sync; choose this plugin for the most reliable hosted **Square payment gateway** path and multi-plugin support (WPForms, Fluent Forms, CF7). ### Can I accept Square payments without WooCommerce? Yes. Use **Contact Form 7**, **WPForms**, **Fluent Forms**, or **payment link** buttons (shortcode, Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder) with the same Square connection— no WooCommerce cart required. ### Does this work with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash App Pay? Yes. Enable wallets under **Payments Square Connect Checkout Settings** (Live mode). Buyers see Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, and Afterpay on **Square Hosted Checkout** when enabled in Square — for WooCommerce, forms, and payment links. ### Does Square payment work in the UK, Canada, and Australia? Yes — wherever **Square** supports sellers. **Square payment** and **Square Hosted Checkout** work for merchants in the **United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia**, Ireland, France, Spain, and Japan (subject to Square account and location rules). Connect your Square account in **Sandbox** or **Live**, pick a location, and accept** Square payments** on WooCommerce, forms, or payment links. Currency and wallet availability follow your Square account country. ### Square vs Stripe for WordPress — when should I use Square? Choose **Square** when you already run **Square POS**, want **Square Hosted Checkout**, or need **WooCommerce + WPForms + Fluent Forms + CF7** on **one Square connection**. Choose **Stripe** when your stack is Stripe-first or you need Stripe-only features. This plugin is for **Square payment** on WordPress — hosted checkout avoids on-site card field conflicts that affect both Square and Stripe on-site gateways. You pay normal processor rates only; no extra plugin fee. ### WooCommerce Square sync broke my products — is this safer? This plugin does **not** run full bidirectional catalog import. It uses **Square Hosted Checkout** for payments and optional **SKU-matched inventory updates** when orders are paid — no mass product overwrite from Square to WooCommerce. If sync- heavy plugins duplicated or wiped products, hosted checkout plus simple SKU sync is a lower-risk approach. ### Does the plugin work with automation or AI tools? Yes. Admins with the right capabilities can use the REST API namespace `shc4wc/v1`( for example `GET /wp-json/shc4wc/v1/status` and `POST /wp-json/shc4wc/v1/orders/{ id}/send-payment-link`). Developers can hook into `shc4wc_square_connected`, `shc4wc_pay_for_order_email_sent`, and related `shc4wc_*` actions. The optional **AI setup assistant** on **Get started** uses your own OpenAI API key (saved under connection settings) — card data and Square tokens are never sent. ### Do I need WooCommerce? No. You can take payments through Contact Form 7 or WPForms without WooCommerce. ### Do I need Contact Form 7? No. If you only sell through WooCommerce or use WPForms, you do not need Contact Form 7. ### Do I need WPForms? No. WooCommerce and Contact Form 7 work independently. Use WPForms only if you want the WPForms builder. ### Where are the settings? **Payments Square Connect** in the WordPress admin sidebar. ### What is Sandbox vs Live? **Sandbox** is for testing — no real money. **Live** is for real payments. Start in Sandbox, then switch to Live when you are ready. [ Getting started](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/getting-started/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=getting_started) ### How does the customer get back to my site? 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. ### Can I sell subscriptions? Yes. Create plans in Square, then use **Subscription Plans** in this plugin to connect them to WooCommerce products, Contact Form 7 forms, or WPForms. [ Subscriptions guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/subscriptions/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=subscriptions) ### Does this plugin charge an extra fee on payments? No. **Payments Square Connect** does not add a platform or application fee on top of your payments. You pay Square’s normal card processing rates only. ### Is support available? Yes. **24/7 support available anytime** — open **Payments Square Connect Support** for email, WhatsApp, or the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/payments-connect-square/). [ Support & docs](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/support/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=support) ### How can I request a new feature? [ Feature requests & community roadmap](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/feature-requests/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=feature_requests) Submit your idea and vote for what we build next on our docs site. We prioritize popular, practical requests for upcoming **free** updates. For bugs, use [Support](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/support/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=support) or the WordPress.org forum. ### Is card data stored on my site? No. Customers enter payment details on **Square Hosted Checkout**. Your WordPress site does not store card numbers. ### Can I refund a WooCommerce Square order? Yes. Open a **paid** order that used **Payments Square Connect**, click **Refund**, and enter a full or partial amount. The plugin sends the refund to Square using the stored payment ID. **When refunds work:** order is Processing or Completed, payment method is Payments Square Connect, and a Square payment ID is saved (from buyer return or webhook). **Webhooks (recommended):** Copy the webhook URL from **Payments Square Connect Connect** into the Square Developer Dashboard so payment IDs are saved even if the buyer closes the browser early. **Troubleshooting:** “Square payment ID was not found” — wait for webhook or customer return. Refund failed — enable Debug Log and check **WooCommerce Status Logs**( source `shc4wc`). Partial refund rejected — try a lower amount. [ Refunds guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/refunds/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=refunds)· [ Webhooks guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/webhooks/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=webhooks) ### Can I issue a partial WooCommerce Square refund? Yes. Enter any amount up to the remaining refundable total on the WooCommerce order. Each refund is sent to Square separately. ### Why is the WooCommerce Square refund button missing or failing? The order must be **paid** with Payments Square Connect and have a **Square payment ID** saved (from buyer return or webhook). Pending or unpaid orders cannot be refunded through the gateway. Enable webhooks and Debug Log on the Connect screen if payment IDs are missing. ### How does Pay for Order work? [ Pay for Order guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/pay-for-order/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=pay_for_order) Open an unpaid WooCommerce order. Under billing details, click **Email payment link to customer** or **Copy payment link**. The customer opens the link, clicks **Pay**, and completes payment on Square Hosted Checkout. The order moves to **Processing** after Square confirms payment. No card form appears on your order-pay page. ### Can I use Square payment links with Elementor or Beaver Builder? [ Payment links guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/payment-links/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=payment_links) Yes. Search for **Square Payment Link** in the **Elementor** widget panel or in ** Beaver Builder** modules (group **Payments Square Connect**). Set the amount and button label — same hosted checkout flow as the shortcode and Gutenberg block. ### Can I send a payment link for an unpaid WooCommerce order? Yes. Open the order in **WooCommerce Orders** and click **Email payment link to customer** on the order screen (or copy the link). The customer pays on Square Hosted Checkout and returns to your site when done. ### Can I refund Contact Form 7, WPForms, or payment link payments from WooCommerce? **WooCommerce** only refunds WooCommerce orders. **WPForms** — open **WPForms Payments**, click the payment, and use **Refund** (sent to Square). **Fluent Forms** — open the submission payment screen and set status to **Refunded** (sent to Square before the record updates). **Contact Form 7** and **payment link** buttons are not WooCommerce orders — refund those in the **Square Dashboard**. See [refunds guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/refunds/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=refunds). ### Can I refund WooCommerce Square subscription renewals from wp-admin? Recurring charges billed by Square subscriptions should be refunded from the **Square Dashboard**. The initial WooCommerce subscription signup order can be refunded from wp-admin if it was a one-time hosted checkout payment with a stored Square payment ID. ### Does WooCommerce Square stock sync with Square catalog? [ Stock sync guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/stock-sync/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=stock_sync) When product **SKUs match** between WooCommerce and your Square catalog, paid ** WooCommerce Square** orders can update **Square inventory** automatically. WooCommerce also reduces its own stock when payment is confirmed. Use the same SKU on both sides for the best results. ### Do Contact Form 7 and WPForms support Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App, and Afterpay? [ Checkout settings](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/checkout-settings/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=checkout_settings)· [ CF7 guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/contact-form-7/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=contact_form_7)· [ WPForms guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/wpforms/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=wpforms) Yes. **One-time** payments from Contact Form 7 and WPForms use the same **Square Hosted Checkout** as **WooCommerce Square**. Enable **Apple Pay**, **Google Pay**, and **Cash App Pay** under **Payments Square Connect Checkout Settings Merchant settings** (Live mode). Enable **Afterpay/Clearpay** in your Square Dashboard. Buyers see whichever wallets you have turned on, plus card entry on Square’s page. Cash App Pay and Afterpay are **not** available for subscription signup on CF7 or WPForms forms. ### Do Fluent Forms work with Square wallets? [ Fluent Forms guide](https://payments-connect-square.pages.dev/fluent-forms/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=fluent_forms) Yes, with **Fluent Forms free or Pro** (no extra Fluent Forms license needed). Enable** Payments Square Connect** under **Fluent Forms Global Settings Payment Payment Methods**, then add a **Payment Method** field to your form and select Square Hosted Checkout. Wallets follow the same **Checkout Settings** as **WooCommerce Square**. ### Do Fluent Forms payment totals match Square Hosted Checkout? Yes. Square charges the same total as the Fluent Forms payment summary: **Custom Payment Amount**, **Payment Item** (single, select, radio, or checkbox), and **Quantity** fields are supported on **free and Pro**. Each selected item appears on Square’s order summary with the correct name and amount (including quantity). Link **Quantity Target Product** in the field settings when you have multiple payment fields on one form. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ddfacc5be46d7eb680ad6d1620547d5a8407244a08846fb46dbe78502b37e4f0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Highly recommended for businesses using Square.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/highly-recommended-for-businesses-using-square/)󠁿 [jekoband](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jekoband/) June 30, 2026 A great plugin for anyone looking to integrate Square payments with WordPress.
