How to Connect Square Payments in GoHighLevel

If you use tools like ClickUp to organize your business and want to streamline billing, connecting Square to GoHighLevel is a powerful way to collect payments directly inside your CRM. This guide walks you through every step of authorizing Square, managing locations, and using Square as a payment option on funnels, websites, calendars, and invoices.

Prerequisites for Using Square with GoHighLevel

Before you connect Square to GoHighLevel, make sure you have the following in place:

• An active Square account with at least one location created.
• Administrator access to your GoHighLevel agency or sub-account.
• Pop-ups enabled in your browser so the Square authorization window can open.
• Correct time zone and currency set in your Square account (Square limits you to one active currency per account).

Verifying these items first helps ensure the Square and GoHighLevel connection works without errors.

How to Connect Square to GoHighLevel

You can connect Square payments to GoHighLevel at the sub-account level. Follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Open the Payments Settings in GoHighLevel

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Go to the specific sub-account where you want to use Square.
3. In the left-hand menu, click Settings.
4. Select Integrations or Payments depending on your interface version.

You will see multiple payment processor options available in GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Start the Square Connection

1. Locate the Square option in the payment processors area.
2. Click the button labeled Connect or Connect Square.
3. A new window or pop-up will open, redirecting you to the secure Square authorization page.

If the Square login window does not appear, make sure browser pop-ups are allowed for your GoHighLevel domain.

Step 3: Authorize GoHighLevel in Your Square Account

1. Log in to your Square account if prompted.
2. Review the permissions GoHighLevel is requesting, such as reading locations and processing payments.
3. Click Allow or Authorize to confirm the connection.

Once authorized, you will be redirected back to your GoHighLevel account, and the Square integration should now appear as connected.

Step 4: Choose Your Square Location in GoHighLevel

After authorization, GoHighLevel will retrieve the list of locations from your Square account.

1. In the Square section of your GoHighLevel payment settings, look for the Location dropdown.
2. Select the correct Square location you want to use for processing payments in that sub-account.
3. Save your changes.

This location will be used for charges completed through GoHighLevel forms, calendars, and order pages.

Using Square as a Payment Option in GoHighLevel

Once Square is connected, you can use it in multiple tools inside GoHighLevel to collect payments from leads and clients.

Enable Square on Funnels and Websites in GoHighLevel

To accept payments on funnels or websites:

1. Open the desired funnel or website inside your GoHighLevel sub-account.
2. Edit the page where you want to collect payment.
3. Add or select an Order or Checkout element.
4. In the payment settings for that element, choose Square as a payment method (or ensure it is enabled).
5. Configure the product, price, and any upsells as needed.

Visitors will now be able to pay through Square when they submit the order form in your GoHighLevel funnel or website.

Use Square for Calendar and Appointment Payments

Square can also be used to collect payment when clients book appointments through your GoHighLevel calendars.

1. Go to Settings > Calendars in your GoHighLevel sub-account.
2. Edit the calendar you want to require payment on.
3. Find the Payments or Additional Options section.
4. Enable the option to Collect Payment when an appointment is booked.
5. Select Square as the payment processor.
6. Set the required amount to charge at booking.

Once configured, customers will have to pay via Square before their appointment is confirmed in GoHighLevel.

Using Square with Invoices in GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel also supports using Square as the payment method on invoices.

1. Navigate to Payments > Invoices in your GoHighLevel sub-account.
2. Create a new invoice or edit an existing one.
3. Add your line items, taxes, and due dates as needed.
4. In the payment options, make sure Square is enabled as the payment processor.
5. Send the invoice to your client using email or a share link.

When your client opens the invoice, they will be able to pay securely with Square, and the payment will sync back into GoHighLevel.

Managing and Disconnecting Square in GoHighLevel

You can manage or disconnect the integration at any time from your GoHighLevel settings.

How to Disconnect Square

1. Go to Settings > Payments (or Integrations) in your GoHighLevel sub-account.
2. Find the Square integration panel.
3. Click Disconnect or a similar option.
4. Confirm you want to remove the connection.

After disconnecting, Square will no longer be available as a payment method in that GoHighLevel sub-account, and any related payment elements should be reviewed.

Common Square and GoHighLevel Issues

If payments are not working after setup, check these common issues:
