Is there a Square / SquareUp payment module?

[MnDel]

I corresponded about them working with eCommerce back in In August 2014 - they said "We are working on an online cart, and it should be available to the public in about one month."
oh well

Does anyone know if there is an Add On Module for Square Up to process payments? If so, would you please point me in that direction?

IF not, is there anyone of you wonderful developers that are interested in creating a module?


Thanks much in advance.

Kindest Regards,

Sorry to say, but.... Ecommerce Addons are not currently supported or allowed by Square

===========================
Additional API Uses

We don't currently offer an API for e-commerce solutions, but if we do in the future, we’ll be sure to announce it.


As a Square merchant you can sell items from your free online store. At this time you will not be able to use Square to accept payments online through any other third-party website, and you will not be able to integrate Square with any other systems.
In order to process payments with Square, you'll need to download Square Register to a compatible mobile device running Apple iOS or Android. Learn more about supported mobile devices.
Learn more about which activities can be done on your mobile device versus your online account.

Hi all,

Thanks for the information. I also contacted Square and the agent told me they would consider partnering up with Zen Cart if enough people requested.

The follow is part of the email that I received from them:

*********************

"While Square doesn’t provide a shared API or payment gateway for processing payments, we do have a few options that may be of interest to you.

With our partners – Weebly and Bigcommerce – you’re able to seamlessly integrate online payments with your Square Register account and process orders directly from your partner-hosted E-Commerce website. Learn more about integrating your Square account with Weebly or Bigcommerce."

*********************

So if Square will do it with Weebly and Bigcommerce, if there are enough requests for them to work with Zen Cart, maybe one day.

Anyone who is tired of PayPal, wants another payment option, or what ever reason, please contact Square and request they tie in with Zen Cart...

Regards,

I use Square in addition to PayPal. I accept cards manually using the CEON manual card add-on, there are alot of extra SSL certs and stuff that you need to purchase to make sure things are secure but it works for me. I accept the orders manually process the payment via square by punching in the credit card info manually which incurs 3.5% + 15¢ instead of the customary 2.75% and you can add it as a surcharge to your customers when they use a major credit card, but it's still a nominal cost when you can't surcharge debit cards. Seems like a lot of work because I then update the customer's order and send them the square receipt number Example: $14.79 payment processed - Square Payment #A6BulXpgJ2CcCuDa6jN6wsMP. Then I delete the card information inside Zen Cart once it is processed through Square.

I for one am sick of the prices PayPal charges, but for what it is worth, I find that customers will mostly choose PayPal versus the other payment modules. Even when I was paying an obscene amount for FirstData/Linkpoint or Authorizenet merchant account, I found I was wasting money because they still chose PayPal. But I will also put in a request a Square for an API for Zen Cart. Maybe they will get the big picture.

Which specific prices are you complaining about? PayPal's per-transaction rate is lower than the 3.5% you're paying now.
I realize this is off-topic, and I'm not looking for a long reply. I only want to know what "PayPal prices" you're referring to. Nothing more.

Greetings and Happy Friday.

Thank you for the reply, I also use Square, Square Market Place and I am aware the Square rates are higher than what I am charged for with PayPal.

My monthly sales going through PayPal far exceed the minimum of $3000.00 month where I receive a reduced rate, I tend to go towards PayPal. However I was looking for the possible option of providing the choice to my buyers on my website.

What I don't like about PayPal is if within 180 from the sale date a buyer states the items is not as described, PayPal will place a hold on the funds in your account and give it back to them. This is regardless if the buyer is lying, has used the item, broken it, sold it to third party, etc.... PayPal does not care if you are only a distributor and not the manufacturer, it does not matter. All the buyer has to do is open a case and claim the item not as described. No recourse for the seller.

That is one of the reasons I am looking to migrate to Square if possible.

According to Square "Square doesn’t provide a shared API or payment gateway for processing payments". Thus only offering integration with Weebly and Bigcommerce.

So basically Square will possibly only listen if enough request for them to work with ZenCart are made.

None that I'm aware of. It appears that Square Up wants you to use their shopping cart service.
