Square integration

Take payments for your services online and in-person with Square.

The INCH-Square integration simplifies payments for you and your clients. Not only can you accept in-person payments through your calendar, but clients can prepay for appointments through your Booking Page.

Your Booking Page also displays options to pay using Apple Pay and/or Google Pay (G Pay), giving clients extra flexibility.

Requirements

Your INCH account: The Square integration is available on all plan types, to users in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
Your verified Square account: Make sure you’ve completed the Square setup process, along with basic identity verification, prior to enabling this integration. Without identity verification, you won't be able to take card payments. Learn more

Sign into your Square dashboard and click 'Setup Guide'.
Select Get Paid > Verify Your Identity.

How do I accept Booking Page payments?

This support article gives you step-by-step instructions so clients can prepay for appointments online.

Do all of my clients have the option to pay using Apple Pay and Google Pay (G Pay)?

Yes, but the payment options your client sees depends on the browser they use. The 'Buy with G Pay' button will display in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and other browsers. Both the 'Buy with G Pay' and 'Apple Pay' buttons will display in Safari browsers. Additionally, the Apple Pay option will be available to those using iPhone with touch ID and Macbook.
