where to find it

Connect and map

You need a Square account you can sign in to.

  1. Go to Square POS › Overview.
  2. Click Connect your Square account.
  3. Sign in to Square and allow access to the business that runs your venue.
  4. Under Connected accounts, click Map to venue on the Square location and choose your venue.
  5. Click Activate under Reservation API. Check it reads Active.
connect, map, activate, match

A new Square location on an account you have already connected shows under Connected accounts too: map it and activate it the same way.

Match your tables

Your Square floor plan is not copied into Stampede. The rows on Table Mappings are your Stampede tables, so build them in Stampede first, with the same names they have in Square.

  1. Go to Square POS › Table Mappings, then choose your venue.
  2. Click Auto-match all (each table's name becomes its Square reference), or Link to Square on a row to set it by hand.
  3. Link to Square offers the references Square has used From recent orders, or type one in.
  4. Check the matches. To redo some, tick them, clear them and link them again.

When the tables stop matching

  • A warning that Square refs seen in recent orders are not mapped: click View, then link each one from Link to Square on the right row.
  • A warning that mappings point at a deleted table: a Stampede table was deleted and made again. Click Repair to move them onto the live table of the same name.
  • Renamed a table in Square? Clear its row and link it again.

What connecting changes in Square

Stampede adds what you ask it to: bookings, deposits and orders on your bills, and any discounts or customer groups you create here. It never changes prices in your Square item library. See change a price when your products come from Square.

Check it worked

Bookings, deposits, pre-orders and orders now move between Stampede and Square on their own, both ways.
