Connect Square first, then move into mapping and imports.

That order keeps troubleshooting simpler if something does not line up during setup.

Quick facts

Start here

  • Connection is only the first step, not the full accounting setup.
  • You still need mapping and import review after the connection works.
  • Test the connection before a large history import window.

Step 1: Complete the connection

  • Use Square Integration to connect and confirm the account state.
  • Make sure the integration is stable before you move on to mapping.
Start with the Square integration page and confirm the connection is stable before you move into accounting behavior.

Step 2: Move to mapping and import review

  • After connection, open the mapping and import steps rather than stopping here.
  • That is where the accounting behavior becomes trustworthy.
Connection is only the first stage. Mapping is what makes the Square data trustworthy in the books.
