You need to register a webhook to get triggered by specific events that occur on the seller’s Square POS.

APIs require calls at regular time intervals in order to detect changes in data.

Thus, webhook replaces these API calls & provides instant, real-time notification updates on specific events that occur at the seller end (on Square POS).

Now, let’s proceed to check the functionalities on the Seller end.

As soon as the admin enables the Squareup feature, a new sub-menu gets added to the Configuration menu of the app i.e. Squareup Configuration.

Visting the Squareup Configuration menu, firstly, the seller needs to install the Squareup App (that is already developed at the time of integration of Squareup with the Multi-vendor Marketplace app).

Seller will click the Download Shopify-Squareup App. This will redirect the seller to the login page of the Squareup.

Clicking the above button, the seller will be asked to log in to the Squareup store.

If already logged in, subsequently, the seller will be redirected to the Squareup permission page. The seller needs to allow access.

Now, the seller will log in to his/her Squareup store and allow access.

Coming back to the seller panel, the seller will configure the settings such as enable the auto-sync option, change weight unit, map collections, etc.

Auto-sync New Products

The sellers can enable this option to auto-sync the newly added products to the admin’s Shopify store.

Moreover, the seller will click the import products button to import previously added Squareup store products to the admin’s Shopify store.

Before the product import, the seller needs to map the admin’s store collection with the collections of his/her Squareup store.

Note:- Make sure that the admin has enabled the “Restrict Collection” tab from the multi-vendor admin panel.

For this, the seller will visit the Map Collection section and then, select the admin’s collection to map with his/her own Squareup store’s collection.

Seller will choose the admin’s store collection & map it with Squareup store’s collection.

Finally, all the mapped collections will be listed like this:-

This way, sellers can map collection.

After all these settings, the seller will proceed to import products from his/her Squareup store to the admin’s Shopify store.

Clicking the Import Product button, the seller will enter the comma-separated product IDs (that the seller wants to import).

Please note: You can only import “simple” and “variable“ products.

This way, the seller can import Squareup products to the admin’s Shopify store.

Sync with Seller’s Store

In case the products are not synced once you import them, you can visit the seller listing section & sync products with the seller’s store.

Products>>>Product Listing>>>Action menu>>>Click “Sync with seller store” button.

Let the sellers create price rules to manage the product price of the seller’s Square up POS to the merchant’s store.

Sellers will have a new menu named Connector Price Rule in the configuration menu of the app.

From here, the seller can create price rules based on which the seller’s product price will be calculated on the merchant’s store. 

Clicking the Connector Price Rule, afterward, the seller needs to enable “Price Rule” status and select the options as increase/decrease price,

the price will be changed by a fixed amount or a percentage amount, enter the amount that needs to be changed.

Enable the checkbox to update the already synced product’s price at the merchant’s store as per the price rule created.

As shown above, through this way, sellers can create price rules from their respective seller panels based on which product price of the seller’s POS will be calculated at the merchant’s store.

Orders can now be created in Seller’s Squareup through the Squareup Connector feature app.

You can choose if you want to create an order on the seller’s Squareup Store or not. For this, you need to visit the admin panel>>Connector Configuration>>Enable Sync Order tab.

As soon as you enable this tab, you will get the option to choose if you want to sync customer data related to the order or not.

Also, you can restock inventory in the seller’s store when an order is refunded on the admin store.
