How to Connect Square as a Payment Method in PhotoBiz
PhotoBiz integrates with Square to accept online payments through your Client Galleries, Scheduler, Invoicing, Forms, and Online Store. Follow the steps below to set up Square in your PhotoBiz account.
Important: All refunds must be processed directly through your Square account, not through PhotoBiz.

Click on Merchants.

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.

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.
