What it does
If you already use GetPaid to send invoices or sell on your WordPress site, you need a payment processor behind the checkout. This add-on adds Square as that processor. Customers pay by credit card on your site, and Square handles the transaction on its PCI-compliant platform, so sensitive card data is kept off your own server. Square payments are supported in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan and the UK, which suits small businesses selling to customers in those countries.
The gateway works on top of the GetPaid core plugin, so it fits sites that sell digital products, memberships, event bookings or services through GetPaid. Payments are processed in real time, and recurring payments are supported for subscription-style billing. Test credit card numbers let you run sample transactions on a staging site and confirm the checkout works before you take live payments. Documentation is available for developers who want to adjust or maintain the setup.
Best for
- Small businesses already using GetPaid for invoices or payments
- Membership, booking and digital product sites in Square-supported countries
- Freelancers and agencies building GetPaid sites for clients
