Click on the OK button to close the pop-up.

Step 6: Enable and Customize Square Payments

Next, we need to enable the Square payments.

Go to the icons on the left-hand side, and click Payments. Then click Square.

Next, toggle on the Enable Square Payment.

This will open the additional payment setting options. Let’s have a look at them:

Buyer Email: From the drop-down, select Email to have Square send an email receipt.
