Square
Easy way to take payments, manage refunds, and help customers checkout online.
About Square
Square provides a developer platform with APIs and SDKs for building integrations with Square seller accounts. The platform covers payments processing (including refunds, disputes, checkout, subscriptions, invoices, and Terminal integration), commerce functions (orders, catalog, inventory, bookings, and vendor management), customer relationship management (customer profiles, groups, segments, and loyalty programs), staff management (labor tracking and team rosters), and merchant/location administration.
The reference documentation includes OAuth for delegated account access, webhook subscription management, and an events search feature. It is intended for developers building custom integrations for their own businesses, publishing applications in the Square App Marketplace, or working directly with Square sellers to extend or customize Square's point-of-sale and online store functionality.
