Accept payments with Square

This setting is only for people who are running an auction — if you're just buying and selling fish, you don't need this.
Connect your Square account to let users pay their invoices directly on this site.

That's it — users will see a Pay button on their invoices!

How it works

Online auctions

The Pay button appears on invoices after the auction end time.
Payments open 1 hour after the end to support dynamic endings (last‑minute bids can extend lot end times).
Set invoices to Ready to email users a link to view and pay.
Once paid, the invoice updates to Paid automatically.

In‑person auctions

Quick Checkout

Auction admins can open Quick Checkout to mark invoices paid.
Each invoice shows a QR code.
Users scan the code to pay in their browser or the Square app.
Payment confirmation usually takes less than 10 seconds.

Hate QR codes?

No worries: The Pay button is also available on the invoice page at any time for users to access themselves.

Tips

Use filters on the Users page to quickly find who hasn’t paid.
There are even filters for who has or hasn't viewed their invoice yet.
Refunds issued in Square will appear on the invoice automatically.
You can mix Square and other payment methods: an auction admin can mark the invoice Paid manually, and optionally record the payment method in the memo field.
Long lines at the end of in-person auctions? Not anymore: Multiple admins can run Quick Checkout Users at the same time on different devices to keep lines moving.
Under your auction's rules, you can turn Square payments off or on at any time. This option only appears when you have a Square account connected.
For auctions tied to a club, the club's connected Square account is used for all payments (set on the club's membership settings page). Otherwise, the auction creator's account is used.
There's no fine print here, no fees beyond the standard Square fees, and you can disable payments at any time.
