How do I set up Square as a merchant?

How to Connect Square as a Payment Method in PhotoBiz

PhotoBiz integrates with Square to allow you to accept online payments directly through your website. Once connected, clients can securely submit payments through Client Galleries, Scheduler bookings, Invoices, Forms, and your Online Store. This guide walks you through connecting your Square account and configuring your payment settings. All payment processing is handled by Square.

Important: Refunds must be processed directly in your Square account. Refunds cannot be issued from within PhotoBiz.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account. From the left-hand menu, click ECommerce to access your payment settings.

STEP TWO

Go to Merchant Settings

Hover over Payment in the menu.
Click on Merchants.

STEP THREE

Add Square as a Merchant

Click the New Merchant button.
By default, Stripe is selected. Click the dropdown and choose Square.
Click the Connect to Square button.

A new window will open prompting you to log into your Square account. If you don’t have a Square account, you’ll be guided through the steps to create one.

STEP FOUR

Authorize Your Square Account

Follow the prompts to log into and authorize your Square account. Once complete, your Square account will be connected to your PhotoBiz website.

After completing these prompts, your Square account will be connected to your PhotoBiz site, enabling online payments almost immediately.

STEP FIVE

Configure Your Square Settings

Click Configure New Square Account to review your settings.
Confirm the card types you’d like to accept.

⚠️ Note: Only websites using PhotoBiz 9 or newer can use Square as a payment option for the Online Store.

FINAL STEP

Save Your Settings

Click Save to complete the setup. Your PhotoBiz account is now ready to accept online payments via Square!

Additional Notes

Square card readers are not compatible with online checkout through your website.

For in-person transactions, use the Square app directly.

Once Square is connected, your checkout page will allow clients to securely enter their credit/debit card information and submit payments through Square.

Once you've configured Square as your merchant, your checkout screen will appear similar to the one below where your clients can enter their credit/debit card and submit the order to be processed by Square.
