Hi, I noticed that Square only appears as a payment option for one-time purchases. For VIP/Club memberships with recurring renewals enabled, Square does not appear at checkout. If I change the same VIP plan to a lifetime/one-time purchase, Square appears immediately.

Is this expected because the Square gateway only supports one-time payments, or am I missing a setting for recurring payments?

If this is intended, would it be possible to add support for recurring payments? Thanks! @Kirill Gromov

Hello, @delulu6969

I have added a new version with this functionality.

After upgrading to 2.1.0, IPS reports a critical database error for the squareup_attempts table. I clicked “Fix Automatically,” but the same database error still appears afterward. There are currently no Square transactions on my site. Could this be an issue with the 2.1.0 database schema/update?

also, Square still does not appear as a payment option for VIP/Club purchases with renewals enabled. (I guess that was related to the DB error?)

I checked the squareup_attempts table in phpMyAdmin after running “Fix Automatically.” The indexes appear to have been created correctly (PRIMARY on id, UNIQUE transaction_id, invoice_method on invoice_id + method_id, and retry_at), but IPS still reports the same critical database error after checking again.

Please update the application.

To be visible during auto-renewal, the following must be set in the SquareUp payment method settings:

- Enable saved cards and automatic renewals is enabled.

- An Application ID corresponding to the selected Sandbox or Production mode is specified.

- The payment method itself must be active and enabled for the desired product and the buyer's country.

Hello, the plugin is working fine, one tiny bug I noticed (not sure who to blame though)

When I cancel one transaction, and chose "Mark transaction as refused, but do not actually refund" moment later, I received email notification from Square regarding the refunds. That doesn't happen on PayPal and Stripe.

one more unrelated issue

A customer tried to purchase a recurring Club membership 4 times with a Japanese-issued Mastercard, and all 4 attempts failed with INVALID_CARD_DATA.

He confirmed that no 3D Secure or bank verification window appeared.

The same card was previously used successfully through Stripe, where it completed a 3D Secure 2.2 challenge. Could you please check what might be causing this?

@delulu6969, You can send an anonymized response from the Square API Logs for a single failed attempt: endpoint (/v2/payments or /v2/cards), HTTP status, error fields, and request time. The merchant account country and purchase currency are also required.

I checked the Square API logs. All 3 failed attempts show the same error:

POST /v2/cards (CreateCard)
HTTP status: 400
Category: INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR
Code: INVALID_CARD_DATA
Detail: Invalid card data.
Field: source_id

One example request time: 2026-09-11 20:25:43 GMT-4

Merchant country: US
Currency: USD

One example request time: 2026-09-11 20:25:43 GMT-4

I checked the API logs further. The Japanese Mastercard payment itself was successfully authorized:

status: APPROVED
CVV_ACCEPTED
AVS_NOT_CHECKED
risk_level: NORMAL

The failure happened afterward when the plugin tried to save the card:

POST /v2/cards → 400 INVALID_CARD_DATA (field: source_id)

The authorized payment was then voided/canceled.

So it looks like the payment authorization succeeds, but saving the card for recurring payments fails. Could you please check this flow?

BTW, so far the US issued cards works fine, I will report back if customers from other counties have this issue too.

Square allowed a one-time authorization, but rejected a separate verification when saving a card for auto-renewal. When POSTing /v2/cards, Square performs a verification request for $0; if it fails, INVALID_CARD_DATA is returned. The plugin then cancels authorization to avoid charging for a subscription that cannot be renewed. These logs don't reveal why the $0 verification failed. It's possible the bank refused to save the card for future debits, there was a mismatch in the verification data, or there was a problem with the Square Application ID and Access Token. CVV_ACCEPTED refers to the first authorization and doesn't mean saving the card was approved.

Version 2.1.2 provides Square with a more complete address and name, but I can't honestly say the lack of this data is a confirmed cause or promise that the update will fix the failure. Square can verify the exact cause for this card using the failed request ID /v2/cards.
