Connect Square once under** Settings Payments Square Connect**; WooCommerce checkout and Contact Form 7 forms share the same connection. When you enable Payments Square Connect, the site exchanges data with **Square** for payments, OAuth, and webhooks. **WooCommerce:** enable the gateway under WooCommerce Settings Payments and customize the checkout title and description. **Contact Form 7:** add the `[square_pay]` form tag to accept fixed or field-based amounts. Example: `[square_pay amount:25.00]` or `[square_pay amount-field:your- amount]` with a matching number field. ### External services This plugin is a client for third-party services. By using it you direct WordPress to contact those services. * **Square (required for payments and connection)** - **What:** OAuth, REST API calls (e.g. locations, payment links), and hosted checkout pages. - **When:** When a store admin uses “Connect with Square”, when checkout or a Contact Form 7 payment creates a payment link, and when Square sends webhooks to your site. - **Endpoints (summary):** `https://connect.squareup.com` or `https://connect. squareupsandbox.com` (OAuth and API), plus Square’s hosted checkout URLs returned in API responses. - **Data sent:** API requests include OAuth tokens after connection, order or form-derived totals and references needed to create checkout, and webhook payloads as defined by Square. - **Terms:** https://squareup.com/legal – review Square’s developer and seller terms for your region. * **WPPayments OAuth relay (required for Connect with Square)** - **What:** Registers your site and completes Square OAuth so application secrets are not stored in WordPress. - **When:** When a store admin clicks **Connect with Square**. - **Endpoint:** `https://shc4wc-square-oauth.wordpress-ingenious.workers.dev` - **Data sent:** Your site URL, sandbox/live environment, and signed session identifiers needed to finish OAuth. - **Terms:** https://squareup.com/legal (Square OAuth); contact the plugin author for questions about the relay service. Store admins explicitly start OAuth by clicking **Connect with Square**; customers are sent to Square’s hosted pages only during checkout or after submitting a Contact Form 7 payment form. ### Privacy * **Site owners:** OAuth and API usage are initiated by an administrator with ` manage_options`. Tokens are stored in the WordPress database (options) like other payment settings. * **Customers:** Personal and payment data on hosted checkout is processed by ** Square** under Square’s policies, not by form fields added by this plugin on your site for card entry. * **Logging:** Optional WooCommerce logs may record technical details when debug logging is enabled; disable debug in normal production. * For compliance questions, consult Square’s documentation and your legal advisor; this readme is not legal advice. ## Installation 1.
