You’re Connected

Your agent can now create payment links and manage customers through Square.

How It Works During Calls

When a caller needs to make a payment:

  1. Your agent creates a payment link with the correct amount
  2. The link is sent to the caller via SMS
  3. The caller opens the link and completes the payment
  4. The payment is recorded in your Square dashboard

Payment links are secure hosted pages by Square. Your callers don’t need a Square account to pay.

Troubleshooting

  1. Verify your Square account is active and in good standing
  2. Check that the correct location is selected in settings
  3. Ensure your Square account has payment processing enabled

Customer Duplicates

  1. Square matches customers by phone number
  2. Ensure consistent phone number formatting to prevent duplicates

Connection Expired

  1. Square tokens refresh automatically
  2. If issues persist, disconnect and reconnect the integration

Tips

  1. Set a default location — Choose the correct Square location for your transactions
  2. Use for deposits — Collect deposits or down payments by sending payment links during calls
  3. Track payments — Monitor payment status in your Square dashboard
