Yes, Square payouts are synced as bank transfers so you can easily match them to your Square deposits (appearing in your bank statement). Square fees and other Square settlements are also accounted for so you get a complete breakdown of your total Square collections. You can find the Square fees and Square other settlements synced as Other Payments or Other Receipts within the Square Balance account (a bank account automatically created by the integration as a clearing account for Square payments).
The integration filters the accounts for each transaction and payment type. If you cannot find the account that you are trying to map, try checking the account category of the account. You can refer to default accounts mapping for the account categories appropriate to the transaction or payment type. In case the account category is appropriate to the transaction you are trying to map, try checking the visibility of the account. You may need to tick the visibility for Sales, Other Payments and Other Receipts. Click here to find out more.
Sure, you can select the date that you wish the data to be synced from through the integration scheduler. You can backdate the sync up to one year.
In case you have revoked the access or changed credentials of an account used for an integration, you can easily reconnect it by expanding the options menu and clicking the Reconnect (or Edit) button on the Connected Accounts page.
At any time, you can access your Amaka dashboard and disable an integration by either turning it OFF or deleting it entirely. You can follow the instructions here.
