Why merchants choose hosted checkout
Many Square payment gateway plugins embed card fields in WooCommerce checkout or run heavy catalog sync. Payments Square Connect sends buyers to Square Hosted Checkout, then back to your site when payment is confirmed.

Who is this plugin for?
Best for: WooCommerce stores and form sites that want Square hosted checkout, reliable WooCommerce checkout, Pay for Order links, optional SKU / location stock sync, and (with Premium) Square gift cards and loyalty redeem at checkout.
Not for: Full Square POS ↔ WooCommerce catalog mirroring, or saved cards typed on your theme’s checkout fields. Gift cards use Square’s gift card number at Woo checkout (Premium), then Hosted Checkout for any remaining balance — not embedded Square card fields. See FAQ — vs WooCommerce Square.
