WooCommerce Square Payment Gateway

Stores that sell online and in person often end up with two sets of stock numbers and two payment systems. This plugin links WooCommerce with Square so sales, inventory and customer data can be managed from one place. Shoppers can pay with major debit and credit cards, digital wallets, Cash App and Square Gift Cards, and the store can take payments on the website, at a physical location or on the go.

Square handles the payment processing side, including encryption and PCI compliance. Merchants can save customer cards for repeat purchases, authorize a payment at checkout and capture it later when the order ships, and review itemized transaction reports inside Square. It is available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the UK, France, Spain, Ireland and Japan, with pricing that varies by region.

Features

• Major cards and Cash App: Accept major debit and credit cards online, in person or on the go, with Cash App payments and Square Gift Cards also supported at checkout.
• Digital wallet checkout: Offer mobile-friendly payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, so customers can pay quickly from the cart, product pages or checkout.
• Inventory synchronization: Products and stock levels sync between WooCommerce and Square, which helps keep stock data accurate and avoids overselling across online and physical sales.
• Saved customer cards: Returning customers can store payment methods securely, with labels that make it easy to pick a card at future checkouts.
• Authorize now, capture later: Authorize a transaction at purchase and capture the payment when the items ship, which gives you more control over cash management.
• Itemized reporting: View detailed, itemized transaction reports within Square to support accounting and give a clearer picture of how the business is doing.
• Fraud and dispute tools: Square provides fraud monitoring with machine learning, plus a Disputes Dashboard and a dedicated team to help with chargebacks.
• Account security settings: Set up 2-Step Verification, employee permissions and real-time alerts for account changes to control who can access your Square account.
