Step by Step instructions for integrating Square Online Checkout with existing Active Campaign acct

[Posturally]

I'd like to integrate my Square Online Checkout with Active Campaign. The only help article I can find is basically a sales page for Active Campaign. I already have Active Campaign and want to know how to set up a connection with my Square? Where do I go to find the step by step instructions for that?

HI, you can connect your Square with Active Campaign through the Square App Marketplace. 

Click Get Started, since you already use AC, use the Sign-In (not Create Account).

If you wish to integrate from AC, click Start Your Free Trial but use the Sign-In (not Create Account)

Hello, Terri!

My research had pulled all that up already. But I'm using Online Check Out Links, and from what I can tell, Square doesn't support that.

Would you happen to know if what you suggested to me would make a good workaround?  Again, the only email services Square seems to support for  Online Checkout Links is MailChimp.

Thanks

Anne

HI, no, it is not a workaround, it is the integration of AC with Square.  

The reason it is does not appear to be an option, is because of the paid service offered by Square Marketing, Square's own email marketing service.

Hmm. I'm a bit confused. Are you saying it's not possible for me to connect with AC? Or that it is possible?

Please tell me which.

Thanks!

HI, originally you asked how to integrate AC with Square and all page information links were provided.

To understand, you wish to use Checkout Links and AC, with is an email service.

Square has their own email service which is Square Marketing and it is a paid service.

To use Square for your Checkout Links would mean to use Square Marketing if you wish to have email service.

So no, I can't use AC, it sounds like. Thanks for your help.
