It would be great if it did. An Etsy and Shopify integration would be great too..

@lpatience1995 There are some third party app developers that may offer an integration using the square api, but square does not directly integrate with e-bay.  Currently, this would be treated as an alternative form of payment like cash, money order, or COD.  You can send an invoice or payment link to a buyer after the close of the auction for payment, but you must list this in the listing and you forfeit Ebay's money back guarantee.

I would recommend square's cash app or sending an invoice they can pay with a CC.  There is a higher risk of fraud with these transactions, and be cautious not to sell any prohibited items on e-bay and then use square for payment.

Hope this helps a little,

Hi, I'm new to all this so what I think that I understand is that SQUARE does not integrate with Shopify or afterpay? 

[Goldneye]

HI, correct, Square does not integrate with Shopify because they have Shopify Payments.  It is Shopify's own payment processing.  

Afterpay is not CURRENTLY offered BUT Square did obtain Afterpay so this feature will be offered sometime in the future.

So - let me ask this - how are you handling your inventory - when you sell on ebay -- are going going into just a stock recount? I have my products cross listed and want to make sure im doing this as right as possible

HI, yes, you would need to manually adjust your inventory here on your Square Online Store.

very tedious and inconvenient - but ok - thank you
