You’re running a coffee shop, retail store, or service business. Every day, dozens of card swipes, Apple Pay taps, and cash transactions flow through Square. Then you have to somehow get all of that into your accounting system. Connect Square and stop the manual entry. Every payment, refund, and Square invoice syncs automatically. Fees are tracked separately so your books reflect the true cost of processing.

​
What syncs

When you connect Square:
  • Payments import automatically — Card payments, Apple Pay, cash, refunds — everything
  • Square invoices appear — Any invoices you’ve created in Square sync over
  • Daily sales summaries — See revenue by day for easy reporting
  • Payouts match up — When Square deposits to your bank, we connect the dots
Square syncs every few hours via API. New payments typically appear within 2-4 hours.

​

Start the connection

Go to Settings → Integrations, find Square in the Payments section, and click Connect.

Grant read access

Pluvel requests access to read:
  • Payments and refunds
  • Invoices
  • Customers
  • Locations (if you have multiple)
We don’t request write access — we can’t charge cards or modify your Square account.

5

Initial import

We import the last 90 days of transactions. Usually takes a few minutes.

​
How transactions appear

Square payments show up in your transaction feed as income:
FieldSource
AmountNet amount (after Square fees)
DatePayment date
DescriptionCustomer name or payment description
Category”Payment Processing” by default
ReferenceSquare payment ID
Square fees appear as separate expense transactions. A 100paymentwitha100 payment with a 2.75 fee shows as 97.25incomeplusa97.25 income plus a 2.75 expense. Your books reflect reality.

​
Multiple locations

Running multiple Square locations? Each one handles separately:
  • Each location syncs independently
  • Enable or disable specific locations
  • Reports can filter by location
  • Each location’s fees are tracked separately

​
Matching payouts to bank deposits

Square batches your payments and deposits them every 1-2 business days. Here’s what happens:
  1. We track the Square payout (transfer)
  2. When the deposit appears in your bank (via Plaid or Mercury), we match it
  3. You can see exactly which payments are in each bank deposit
No more mystery deposits. You’ll know exactly what’s in that $4,832.17 deposit.

​
Square invoices

Square invoices sync automatically:
Square statusPluvel status
SentOutstanding
ViewedOutstanding
PaidPaid
CanceledVoided
View Square invoices in your Pluvel invoicing section. Editing still happens in Square — this is a one-way sync.

​
Managing the connection

​
Check sync status

Go to Settings → Integrations → Square to see:
  • Connection status
  • Last sync time
  • Connected locations
  • Transaction count
  • Any errors

​
Force a sync

Click Sync Now to pull recent transactions immediately instead of waiting.

​
Change locations

To add or remove locations:
  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Square
  2. Click Manage Locations
  3. Check or uncheck locations

​
Disconnect

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Square
  2. Click Manage → Disconnect
This stops future syncing but keeps everything you’ve already imported.

​
Common issues

Square syncs every few hours. If payments are missing:
  1. Check if the payment shows in your Square Dashboard
  2. Verify the correct location is connected
  3. Try a manual sync
  4. Look for error messages in integration settings
Pluvel shows net amounts after Square fees. A 100paymentwitha100 payment with a 2.75 Square fee appears as:
  • Income: $97.25 (net amount)
  • Expense: $2.75 (Square fee)
Your bank deposit will be $97.25.
Only invoices created in Square sync over. Invoices you create in Pluvel don’t appear in Square.
If you see the same payment twice, you might have both Square and bank connections importing. Go to the duplicate and click Mark as Duplicate.

​
