Use Saved Payment Information
Once a buyer opts in, they’ll be able to use their saved payment information on any Square Online site or Square Online Checkout link. Here's how it works:
The next time a buyer is checking out on a Square Online website or Square Online Checkout link, they can enter their phone number and the system will recognize that the buyer has a Square Pay account.
The buyer will be prompted with a six digit code that is sent to the mobile number associated with their Square Pay profile.
Entering the code will auto-complete the rest of the checkout fields with their saved information.
If a buyer prefers not to use the saved information, they can simply close the code window and complete the checkout fields manually. They can also use the Edit links option to make changes to billing information after entering the confirmation code.
