Before configuring the Square integration in the WordPress dashboard, you need to obtain an access token from Square. This token allows the Square-Woo Sync plugin to securely interact with your Square account.
Step 1: Access Square Developer Portal #
Log in to your Square Developer Dashboard: You can follow this guide from Square to create your access token: https://developer.squareup.com/docs/build-basics/access-tokens#get-a-personal-access-token
https://developer.squareup.com/apps/
Step 2: Create a New Application: #
- Click on the + New Application button.
- Enter a name for your application (e.g., “WooCommerce Sync”) and click Create Application. This name helps identify the plugin’s connection in your Square account.
Step 3: Obtain Access Token: #
Once your application is created, select it from the list of your applications. Navigate to the Credentials tab. Ensure you select the “Production” tab. Here, you will find your Personal Access Token. This token is sensitive and should be kept secure. Copy the Personal Access Token: Click the Copy button next to the token to copy it to your clipboard. You’ll need this token to configure the Square integration in the next step.
API Version: set your api version to 2024-06-04. See below.
Step 4: Configure Square Integration #
- Navigate to SquareWooSync > Settings tab in your WordPress dashboard.
- Enter Your Square Access Token: Paste the Square access token you obtained in the previous step into the designated field.
