Online checkout - How to set a end date of recurring payment

centreatwater — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 17:12:37 GMT

Hi,

I want to use Online checkout : https://squareup.com/dashboard/ecom/online-checkout/checkout-links

1-I want to create a checkout link with recurring payments with a end date of recurring payment. But there is no option for that.

2-I don't want the client to have the option to stop the reccuring payment since it's for a service that I'm providing him (online courses)

Is there any chance to get these 2 features?

Thank you!

Patrice

These would be considered feature requests at this time, @centreatwater.

While it isn't possible to set an end date for Square Online Checkout links, you can deactivate a checkout link when you no longer want to accept payments through it.

Your customers will always have the option to cancel their subscriptions from each automated emailed invoice received after a scheduled payment. Once they have cancelled their subscription, they will receive a confirmation email.

If something changes in regards to these points, we'll be sure to pop back here with an update!

Too bad!

It's really important in this times to give flexibility to customers for payment options.

I'm thinking of deactivating my square account as I don't have the option to set end dates to subscriptions. Stripe has it and it's really simple.

I'm really sad because I like Square more but I need to be practical and take decisions fast.

I feel they don't care about customers unfortunately.
