Payments & Checkout

Configure payments and checkout

Understand what belongs in Payments versus Checkout Settings before customers place orders.

Updated

On this page
Plan availability: Free. Square-powered checkout is Free. Advanced payment methods and controls use separate Pro or Scale entitlements. The active production feature matrix is authoritative if an administrator changes an entitlement.

Use Payments for how money arrives

Open Payments to connect Square, choose the payment location, review card readiness, enable manual methods, and set payment method priority.

Use Checkout for what customers agree to

Open Checkout Settings for fulfillment, fees, shipping, delivery date/time collection, deposits, tipping, reminders, terms, and payment-plan behavior.

Common problems

  • Changing payment display order does not necessarily change the initial selected payment method.
  • A connected Square account may not be card-ready.
  • Shipping, delivery, deposits, and tips can be independently gated even when Square checkout works.
