FAQ
-
Payment nonce is missing — can hosted checkout fix it?
-
Yes. The payment nonce is missing error usually happens when Square’s on-site JavaScript cannot tokenize the card due to theme conflicts or caching. Connect Square Payments avoids on-site nonce generation entirely by using Square Hosted Checkout.
-
How is this different from the official WooCommerce Square plugin?
-
The official plugin embeds card fields in your checkout. This plugin uses Square Hosted Checkout (off-site), which is often more reliable for sites with complex themes or caching. We also support WPForms, Fluent Forms, and CF7 on the same connection.
-
Does this work with Apple Pay and Google Pay?
-
Yes. Enable digital wallets under Payments Square Connect Checkout Settings. Buyers will see Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, and Afterpay on the Square payment page.
-
Square payment work in the USA, UK, and Australia?
-
Yes. Square payment and Square Hosted Checkout work for merchants in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, France, Spain, and Japan.
