Use your Square Terminal to take payments directly in your Setmore calendar, keeping your bookings and payments in sync. By connecting a terminal, you can accept payments as easily in person as online—without switching between apps.
Enable terminal payments
To connect your terminal to Setmore, follow these steps:
Connect your terminal to your Square account
If your terminal is new or not yet connected to Square, follow Square's detailed instructions.
Connect terminal to Setmore
To enable terminal payments, connect your Square account to Setmore. For detailed instructions, see our support article.
If you've integrated with Square before, disconnect and reconnect to enable terminal payments:
Open your Setmore app.
Go to Payments > Square.
Click ‘Disconnect’ and confirm by selecting ‘Yes, disconnect’ in the pop-up.
Refresh the page and reconnect your integration by following the steps in the support article above.
You will now be able to accept payments on your Square Terminal via your calendar.
Take a terminal payment
Open your calendar and select the appointment for payment.
Click ‘Take payment’.
Add any additional costs or discounts if needed. Click ‘Continue’.
Select the terminal icon from the Payment method section (its name will match what you set in your Square account).
Click ‘Pay’ to send the request to your terminal.
The customer taps or enters their card on the terminal.
Choose to print a receipt or send to their email.
Your payment is now complete.
If a payment fails, your app and terminal will display a failed payment message. You will need to resend the payment to your terminal for the customer to retry.
To check payment details, go to the 'Payment(s)' tab on the appointment and click the customer’s name to view the receipt.
Note: Your terminal in Setmore will use the name you assigned when connecting it to your Square account.
