Square application ID

[tonytynestennis]

Does anyone know the Square application ID and the Square access token?

The application ID is a unique identifier associated with an application used to access Square accounts.

The access token is a special identifier used to grant permission so the application can access certain aspects of the Square account.

The access token must change at least every 30 days when the application is accessing someone elses Square account.

There is a personal access token available if the application is only going to be used on your account.

The application ID can be constant for an application or changed by the developer if necessary.

You will see these values as well as sandbox values for any application that you create in your Squareup dashboard in the Apps menu.

Further explanation in the API Docs:

Here is a link to the V2 API: 

https://docs.connect.squareup.com/api/connect/v2#clientlibraries

Here is a link to OAuth in the API:

A quick addition to this thread with the steps to obtain your API application information:

1. Go to https://squareup.com/developers.
2. Click Developer Dashboard.
3. Click on + New Application.
4. Name the application and click on Create Application > we'll auto-generate the information needed for integration.

The Location ID(s) for your Square account can be found in the Locations tab of your Developer Dashboard.

If you want to see a description for each credential take a look at this documentation: Square API Access Tokens.

Location ID exists for sandbox but none in production. We have a single location and message on setting this settings page is;

Locations

Locations temporarily unavailable.

Hey @bbrothers - does @Helen's answer above help any?

Hi. I connected all of this and my square option is still not integrated in my webpage. I’m not sure why this is so complicated. It shouldn’t be.

@FelicefromFMK I'd recommend reaching out to WordPress since they're a third party with us and it's their API.

Unfortunately the only thing I'm able to do is direct you to the developer portal above to find the plug-ins but if it's not working they'll probably need to look into it further.

Are you a web developer also? I forgot to ask in my last thread but this definitely might require web developer experience.
