How can i integrate square to my website for publicly manage client's invoices?

[Jimmy112]

How can I integrate Square into my website to publicly manage and generate invoices for my clients, allowing them to view, pay, and track their invoices seamlessly? I want to ensure that the integration allows my clients to receive invoices automatically, make payments through various methods (credit/debit cards, etc.), and I can manage and track the invoice status efficiently. I am looking for a step-by-step guide or instructions on how to implement this integration properly, whether it involves using Square's APIs, payment buttons, or any other tools Square offers for invoicing on websites.

@Jimmy112  I see it’s been several months since you posted this.   I put your question into ChatGPT and this is the response I received. 

OPTION 1: 

NO-CODE/LOW-CODE

 METHOD – Embed Invoice Links

Best for: Simplicity, small teams, or if you don’t want to use APIs.

Step-by-Step:

1. 

Create an Invoice in Square

• Go to your Square Dashboard
• Navigate to Invoices > Create Invoice
• Fill in the client info, items, taxes, due date, and select:
  
• Send via email OR
• Copy Invoice Link (great for websites)
•  

2. 

Copy the Invoice Link

• After creating the invoice, click “•••” and choose Copy Public Invoice URL

3. 

Embed on Your Website

• Add a “Pay Invoice” button on your site
• Link it to the unique Square invoice URL
• Optionally, create a client login area to store and link past invoices manually

🟨 Limitation: This is not automated, but works well for small volume.

✅ OPTION 2: 

SQUARE ONLINE CHECKOUT

 + FORM AUTOMATION

Best for: Recurring payments, fixed services, or one-click pay workflows

1. 

Use Square Online Checkout

• Go to: Square Online Checkout
• Create a Payment Link for a product/service or “Any Amount”
• Customize the title, amount, and description
• Enable Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and optional tipping

2. 

Embed on Website

• Grab the embed code or link
• Place it on your site as a button or form
• Use client-side tools like JotForm or Typeform to collect order info before payment, then redirect to payment link

🟨 Limitation: Not a true “invoice”, but works well for collecting payments with fixed or custom amounts.

If you are familiar with coding, you can put your question into ChatGPT and the 3 option will walk you through using the API’s to fully integrate Square on your website.  I didn’t copy and paste here because there was too much room for error with the code.  

Hope this helps and sorry it took so long to give you an answer.
