# How to Integrate Square with Paymattic in WordPress?

[Square](https://squareup.com/us/en) is a globally recognized payment gateway to integrate with [Paymattic](https://paymattic.com/). This article will guide you through **configuring** **Square**in your **WordPress** **Site** with the **Paymattic** plugin.

## Configuring Square Payment Method

To learn how to configure the Square payment gateway through Paymattic, follow the steps with screenshots below –

Select any **Payment Mode** between **Test** (for test payments) and **Live**(for real payments) as both options follow the same configuration process, e.g., I choose the **Test Mode**.

Then, you need to obtain the**Access key** and **Location ID** from your **Square Account**.

### Get the Access Token and Location ID from Square

To learn how to get an **Access Token**and **Location ID**from your [Square](https://squareup.com/us/en), follow the steps with screenshots below – 

First, log in to your Square account from [here](https://squareup.com/login?app=developer&return_to=https://developer.squareup.com/). If you do not have an account, sign up from [here](https://app.squareup.com/signup/en-GB?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.squareup.com%2F&v=developers).

To get the credentials for configuration you need to create an app in your Square account. To learn how to create an Application, follow accordingly.

Once you log in to the **Square Dashboard**, go to the **Account** section from the **Navbar**, and click the **Developer Dashboard** tab.

### Add Square Webhooks

To learn how to configure the **Square Webhooks** to your WordPress Site, follow the steps with the screenshots below – 

To ensure your Square dashboard and Paymattic dashboard are in sync and fully function for all kinds of payment (one-time/recurring), you must configure the Square Webhooks.

First, copy the**Webhook URL** and recommended **Webhook Events**forsmooth transactions based on **Square** **Data** related to **One-time/Recurring** payments.

You will need them later to configure **Square** **Webhooks** to your **WordPress** **Site**.

Now, go to the [Square Dashboard](https://squareup.com/login?app=developer&return_to=https://developer.squareup.com/), expand the **Webhook**section from the left sidebar, open the **Subscriptions**tab, and click the **Add Subscription** button.

Now, **Name** your webhook, paste the **URL** copied from **Paymattic’s Square Settings**page, and confirm your desired **API version.**

Then, select the **Events** recommended from Paymattic for Square by clicking the checkbox.

**The Events recommended by Paymattic are briefly explained below:**

- **invoice.created**: This triggers when an invoice is created for a customer, typically after an order is placed or at the start of a subscription billing cycle.

- **invoice.payment_made**: This triggers when a customer successfully completes a payment for a previously issued invoice, either partially or fully.

- **payment.updated**: This triggers when the status or details of a payment change. It covers updates such as payment completions, declines, or refunds on the Square dashboard.

- **subscription.created**: This triggers when a customer subscribes to a plan.

- **subscription.updated**: This triggers when a subscription's details are changed, such as its status (e.g., paused, resumed, or canceled), or other attributes like billing cycles or pricing.

Once you select all the suggested**Webhook Events**, Click the **Save**button.
And, the Square Webhooks will be configured with your WordPress Site!

## Add Square in Forms

Once you finish setting up your **Square** payment gateway, you can easily add this payment method to any of your existing [Payment Form](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-create-your-first-payment-form-in-a-minute-and-accept-payments-with-paymattic/).

If you do not have any existing forms, read[Create a Form from Scratch](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-create-a-form-from-scratch-with-paymattic/) or[Create a Form using Templates](https://paymattic.com/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation.

To learn the detailed process of adding a payment method to an existing form, read this [Documentation](https://paymattic.com/docs/how-to-use-the-payment-method-fields-section/).

But, remember, the added **Square**payment method in your **Form** will not function unless you complete the configuration process properly.
