Accept payments on your website
Your online store is automatically set up with Square’s payment processor to accept card payments during the checkout flow of your site. To set up additional payment methods, take a look below.
Apple Pay and Google Pay make checking out from online stores quick and easy, especially on mobile devices. You can enable these digital wallets on your website at any time.
- Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Online.
- Click Settings (or Shared settings) > Checkout.
- Under Square, toggle on Accept Apple Pay and/or Accept Google Pay.
Afterpay gives your customers the flexibility to pay for orders between $1–$2,000 in four interest-free instalments over six weeks. You get paid the full amount right away. You’re automatically enabled to use Afterpay to help boost online sales, increase average cart size and attract new customers.
- Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Settings > Account & Settings > Payments > Payment methods.
- Under Afterpay, click ••• > Edit settings.
- Toggle on the Online option and click Save.
The setting for online payments with Afterpay is global and will apply across all Square products that can also take Afterpay payments online.
If you want to change your accepted price range from $1–$2,000 to something different, you can do so from Square Online.
- Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Online.
- Click Settings (or Shared settings) > Checkout.
- Under Afterpay, Edit the eligible range.
- Enter amounts for both items and orders. Afterpay will be shown as an option to buyers for items and orders that fall within the ranges you enter.

Automatically save buyer payment details with Square Pay
Square Pay offers a convenient way for buyers to save and reuse their payment and contact details when making purchases on any Square Online site. When checking out, buyers can opt in to Square Pay by providing their email and mobile phone number. This links their saved information – including their name, address, payment card details and preferred payment method – to their Square profile.
Once a buyer has opted in, they can easily access their saved information for future orders on any Square Online site via a confirmation email. Buyers have full control over their data and can delete their information at any time.
Disable online payments
You can temporarily suspend accepting payments for all orders (regardless of fulfilment method) made on your Square Online site.
Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Online.
Click Settings (or Shared settings) > Checkout.
Toggle off Accept online orders.
When this switch is off, items will still be visible on your site but won’t be available for purchase. This is helpful when you want to put your online business in holiday mode for any reason so new online orders don’t come in while you’re away. The toggle also makes it easy to turn things back on once you’re ready to get back to business.
If you only want to suspend accepting payments for specific fulfilment methods, you'll need to turn off that specific fulfilment type in your fulfilment settings.
