If I have a PayPal account already, how do I integrate it with Square?

[BlackSwanMusing]

I am setting up a Square website and I already have a PayPal account.  How do I integrate my current PayPal account with this free square website that is a sub domain of Square?

Also, do I have to purchase a domain to use the website?  Can purchases be made on Square (like I did two years ago) without having a website and domain?

Thank you!

HI, Paypal is available when you upgrade to a paid plan.  Remember Paypal is a payment processor same as Square.  Once you create a free Square store with Square as payment processor it can remain free until you need to upgrade.

No, a domain is not required.  You can keep the square.site domain as long as you wish to conduct business.  If you already have a domain from any domain provider you can point the domain to the square.site URL.  It will not mask the square.site URL but will work.  

Yes, Square is still available to use with the Square Credit Card reader.

Hi - I have another questions around integrating PayPal. 

In my case, I have an external platform/website, offering coaching sessions etc that need to be scheduled. I am using the Square Calendar that is integrated with the Square Payment platform, via linking my individual Services to buy buttons on the website. 

I want to offer PayPal as an option for potential customers on check-out. 

Is there a way to offer this option after potential customers have clicked on the Square link to be taken to check-out? Or a way to automatically connect a direct PayPal payment link to the Square calendar so customers can schedule their sessions?

Any help is very much appreciated!!!

HI, to understand you have a website on another platform and want to add Paypal as a payment processor.  You would need to review the other platform's policy to see if they offer Paypal as payment processor.

thanks Terri - yes, it's possible to add PayPal directly on my other platform.....but that would not integrate with my Square appointment scheduler. 

So the question is really about how to integrate Paypal with my Square scheduler...
