Set up Square payment service in Square + Xero integration

Overview

  • You can now add Square as a payment service in Xero. Offer an online payment option to your customers whenever you send out an invoice from Xero.

How it works

Activate the Payment Service from the Amaka integration settings and apply relevant mappings on the settings page.

When you send out the invoice from Xero, your customer will receive a link to redirect them to the payment gateway. The integration will mark the invoice as paid after being successfully paid. Settlement and fees will sync accordingly so you can easily reconcile the deposit on your bank feed.
