What do I need?

To get Bustle and Square talking you will need the following:

Connecting Bustle and Square:

A couple of things to note for your Square Point of Sale setup:

  • Bustle does not yet support multiple sites. If you have multiple sites with Square we only connect to the first site in your list.

  • Receipts. You have the option to use receipts in either Bustle or Square. To configure receipts in Square - Configure Square Receipts. To turn off Square receipts - Skip Receipt.

Once your Square account is set up and you're ready to connect Bustle…

Select payment provider

Select your payment provider in Setup > iPad setup on your Bustle Hub.

Here you will see the Eftpos Integration selector. Click inside the button where it says None then select your provider.

Click Save. You will see some links below to help you get set up.

Sync your change to the iPad app

  • Once activated, head to the Bustle iPad till app, press the Settings button then press Sync Menu. Once you're synced, close and restart the Bustle iPad till app and reopen it. Head to the settings again and you will see the Eftpos button.

  • Are you using an iPad with iOS13 or greater? If so head to your iPad's Settings - Settings > Safari. Scroll down near the bottom and untick "Request Desktop Site" then head back to Bustle settings...

  • Press Eftpos then press Connect.

  • At this point, you'll be taken through to the Square website to link Square with Bustle. Log in with your Square account credentials.

  • After login you will see this page, followed by a pop-up. Press Open to complete the linking process. You may see this pop-up a couple more times as the apps first connect a payment. Press Open when prompted. You will also be asked to allow Bustle permission to the Square app. Press Allow when prompted.

  • You may be directed back to the app store at this point. Close out of the app store and re-open Bustle.

  • The Bustle iPad till app will reopen at the eftpos page and you will see a success message. Press the X at the top right to close the window and get started with taking payments!

From here, when you select Card on a payment, you'll be whisked into the Square app's payment screens to process the payment, then taken back to Bustle once processed.
