Stop Accepting Payments
You can temporarily suspend accepting payments for orders from Square Online. To turn off online orders and suspend taking payments during checkout:
In your Square Online Overview page, go to Settings > Checkout 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.
