Connect Square for tournament payments

Authorize your Square account and choose your tournament’s payment location.

Have access to the Square account that should receive your tournament's payments. The secure authorization flow (OAuth) connects the account without copying access tokens into the tournament dashboard.

Connect your account

  1. Open your tournament dashboard and go to Registration Settings.
  2. Under Online Registration, click Configure Online Payments.
  3. Select Square as the payment provider, then click Connect with Square.
  4. Sign in on Square's website using the account for your tournament.
  5. Review the requested permissions and approve access.
  6. Wait for Square Account Connected and the automatic return to the tournament dashboard.

Confirm the account and location

  1. Open Configure Online Payments again and select Square. Check that the account shows as connected.
  2. Under Available Square Accounts, find the account for your tournament. Click Use Account if it is not already marked Selected.
  3. If the selected account has more than one location, choose the correct Location for your tournament's payments.
  4. Account and location selections save automatically. Click Close when finished.

If the right account is already available and connected, you can use it without repeating the Square sign-in steps.

If the connection fails

Choose Return to Settings and start again with Connect with Square. Finish the process in the same browser tab and approve the requested permissions. If the dashboard asks you to reconnect later, repeat these steps.

Connecting the account does not pair a payment device. For walk-up checkout with Square terminals, use Manage Terminals after connecting.
