Detailed Overview

Online booking websites need more than availability calendars. Once customers select their dates and submit their information, they need a dependable way to complete payment. WP Booking System Square connects the booking process with Square so your WordPress website can offer Square as an online payment option.

Square is particularly useful for businesses that already use the Square ecosystem for payment processing. By adding the Square gateway to WP Booking System, businesses can keep their booking and payment workflow closely connected instead of directing customers to a separate booking platform.

For holiday rentals and accommodation businesses, Square payments can provide a straightforward way to collect booking payments online. The same approach can be useful for boat rentals, vehicle hire, equipment rentals, venues, tours, and other reservation-based businesses that use WP Booking System.

The add-on is configured through the WP Booking System payment settings. Square requires the appropriate API credentials, including the application information, access token, and location ID. These credentials connect your WordPress installation to your Square account and allow the payment gateway to communicate with Square.

WP Booking System also supports multiple payment methods, allowing businesses to choose from online gateways such as Square, Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, GoPay, Authorize.Net, and Redsys, as well as offline payment methods depending on the configuration.

For businesses that need additional control over booking payments, the Square integration supports an optional capture payment when accepting booking workflow. When enabled, the card can initially be authorized, with payment captured when the booking is accepted, subject to Square’s authorization rules and time limitations.

Developers can also take advantage of Square’s sandbox environment to test the integration before enabling live payments. This makes it easier to verify credentials, payment flow, booking behavior, and configuration without immediately processing real transactions.
