How to integrate Square

Take full or partial prepayment when a customer places their booking using your Square account as your payment gateway. This article will go into detail with the setup instructions for enabling Square as a payment gateway option.

Square Developer Account

Step 1)


You need to have an existing Square account to use this integration. If you don’t have a Square account presently, you can create the account here.


The account needs to be activated in order to start receiving payments. If the account is not activated, you will see the following message on your dashboard.


Step 2:

Navigate to https://developer.squareup.com/apps and create a new Application and add the Application Name.



You will be redirected to the Applications page, then click 'Open'.



On the top of the page, click on 'Production'. Then on the left-hand side menu, click 'Credentials' and note down your Application ID and Access Token.



On the same page, click 'Locations' and you will see your Location ID.


To complete the integration with Nabooki and Square, you will need the Application ID, Access Token and Locations ID.

Enabling Square as the Payment Gateway in your Nabooki Account

Click 'Update' to save your changes.
