Square Requirements

Connection Requirements:

  • An active account with Square

  • Your Square login username and password

Square's connection tile is not available in ShipStation Legacy.

If you can’t see the store connection tile when you search for Square, it’s most likely because you are in ShipStation Legacy. You may only connect Square in the current version of ShipStation, so this is a good time to upgrade or at least try it out.

If you do move back to Legacy, your Square store will still work just fine. The store connection and tile visibility are the only things affected. Everything else about the integration should work the same in both versions.

Order Import Requirements:

  • The order cannot be a Pick Up order from Square. These orders will not import into ShipStation and must instead be marked as picked up in Square.
