After a subscription is created, there are events that can make a subscription non-billable, causing Square to deactivate the subscription. A seller can also resume deactivated subscriptions in the Seller Dashboard. Applications can call ListSubscriptionEvents to determine why Square deactivated a subscription.

  • Customers API:

  • Invoices API:

    • The Invoices API has moved to the GA state.

    • Invoice object:

      • A new required accepted_payment_methods field that defines the methods of payment that customers can use to pay an invoice on the Square-hosted invoice page. Valid values are defined in the new InvoiceAcceptedPaymentMethods enum. For more information, see the migration notes.
      • A new subscription_id field, which is included in invoices created for subscription billing.

Version 9.1.0.20210317 (2021-03-17)

Existing API updates

  • Payments API:

    • CreatePayment. Until now, the CreatePayment endpoint supported only taking card payments. In this release, the API now supports cash and external payments. For more information, see Take Payments.

SMS settings can be configured from first-party Square applications only; they cannot be configured from the Invoices API. Square does not send invoice reminders when using SMS to communicate with customers.

  • Terminal API:

    • TerminalCheckout. Previously, TerminalCheckout only supported tapped, dipped, or swiped credit cards. It now supports manual card entry and e-money. Added the payment_type field to denote a request for a manually entered payment card or an e-money payment.

SDKs

  • All Square SDKs:

    By default, all SDKs send requests to Square's production (https://connect.squareup.com) or sandbox (https://connect.squareupsandbox.com) hosts based on the client's environment parameter.

    You now have the option to use a custom URL instead. To use a custom URL, follow the example for your language to set the environment parameter to custom and the customUrl parameter to your URL:

    • Java

      new SquareClient.Builder()
  .environment(Environment.CUSTOM)
  .customUrl("https://example.com")

    • .NET

      new Square.SquareClient.Builder()
  .Environment(Environment.Custom)
  .CustomUrl("https://example.com")

    • Node.js

      new Client({
  environment: Environment.Custom,
  customUrl: 'https://example.com'
});

    • PHP

      new Square\SquareClient([
  'environment' => Environment::CUSTOM,
  'customUrl' => 'https://example.com',
]);

    • Python

      Client(
  environment = 'custom',
  custom_url = 'https://example.com',)

    • Ruby

      Square::Client.new(
  environment: 'custom',
  custom_url: 'https://example.com'
});

  • Square .NET SDK:

    Square has overridden the Equals and GetHashCode methods for models:

    • In the Equals override, Square has implemented a field-level comparison.
    • The Square GetHashCode override now ensures that hashes are deterministic and unique for each object.

  • Square Node.js SDK:

    Endpoints that return 64-bit integers now return a BigInt object instead of a Number object.

  • Connect Node.js SDK: (deprecated)

    The deprecated Connect Node.js SDK is in the security maintenance state. It does not receive any bug fixes or API updates from the Square version 2021-02-26 release. However, the SDK will receive support and security patches until it is retired (end of life) in the second quarter of 2021. For more information, including steps for migrating to the Square Node.js SDK, see the Connect SDK README.

Documentation updates

  • Catalog API:

  • Inventory API:

  • Get Started topic. Revised the Get Started experience. In addition to clarifications, it now includes the use of the Square Sandbox and API Explorer. These are the tools and environments developers use to explore Square APIs.

Version 8.1.0.20210121 (2021-01-21T00:00)

Existing API updates

  • Invoices API: (beta)

    The InvoicePaymentRequest.request_method field is deprecated, and its current options are separated into two new fields that better represent their scope:

    • Invoice.delivery_method specifies how Square should send invoices, reminders, and receipts to the customer.
    • InvoicePaymentRequest.automatic_payment_source specifies the payment method for an automatic payment.

    As part of this change, the InvoiceDeliveryMethod and InvoiceAutomaticPaymentSource enums are added and the InvoiceRequestMethod enum is deprecated.

    The Invoices API will continue to accept request_method in create and update requests until the field is retired, but starting in this version, request_method is not included in returned Invoice objects. For more information, see the migration notes.

  • Locations API:

SDKs

  • Connect Node.js SDK: (deprecated)

    The deprecated Connect Node.js SDK is in the security maintenance state. It will not receive any bug fixes or API updates from the Square version 2021-01-21 release. However, the SDK will receive support and security patches until it is retired (EOL) in Q2, 2021. For more information, including steps for migrating to the Square Node.js SDK, see the Connect SDK README.

  • Catalog API

    • CatalogQuickAmountsSettings type. Added to support predefined custom payment amounts in the Square Register checkout dialog box.

Version 5.1.0.20200325 (2020-03-25)

Existing API updates

  • Payments API. In support of the existing [Delayed capture]](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/payments-api/take-payments) for payments, the following fields are added to the Payment type:
    • delay_duration. In a CreatePayment request, you can set autocomplete to false to get payment approval but not charge the payment source. You can now add this field to specify a time period to complete (or cancel) the payment. For more information, see [Delay capture]](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/payments-api/take-payments).
    • delay_action. Defines the action that Square takes on the payment when the delay_duration elapses. In this release, the API supports only the cancel payment action.
    • delayed_until. Provides the date and time on Square servers when Square applies delay_action on the payment.

Version 5.0.0.20200226 (2020-02-26)

API releases

  • GA release: All SDKs have been updated to support the new Bank Accounts and CashDrawerShifts APIs.

  • Beta release: All SDKs have been updated to support the new Disputes API.

Existing API updates

All SDKs have been updated to support the following changes:

  • Catalog API

    • Batch upsert catalog objects endpoint — The batches field is now required and the array must have at least one element.
    • CatalogModifier — Two fields added:
      • ordinal to support custom ordering in a modifier list
      • modifier_list_id to reference the parent modifier list
    • CatalogModifierList — New field added: ordinal to support custom ordering in a list of CatalogModifierList objects.

  • Customers API changes

    • SearchCustomers endpoint — limit size reduced from 1000 to 100 to improve the endpoint performance.

  • Orders API changes

    • CreateOrderRequest — Previously these request fields were deprecated: line_items, taxes, discounts. These fields are no longer available. Instead you now use the Order object in the request. For example, Order.line_items, Order.taxes, and Order.discounts.
    • OrderLineItem type — There are two changes:
      • The taxes field that was previously deprecated is no longer available. Instead, you now use the OrderLineItem.applied_taxes field. This also now requires that you set the OrderLineItemTax.scope field.
      • The discounts field that was previously deprecated is no longer available. Instead, you now use the OrderLineItem.applied_discounts field. This also now requires that you set the OrderLineItemDiscount.scope field.

  • Shared object updates

    • Card object — New fields added: card_type, prepaid_type. Currently, only the Payments API responses populate these fields.

Version 4.1.0.20200122 (2020-01-22)

  • New field: The Employee object now has an is_owner field.

  • New enumeration: The CardBrand enumeration has a new SQUARE_CAPITAL_CARD enum value to support a Square one-time Installments payment.

  • New request body field constraint: The Refund Payment request now requires a payment_id.

Version 4.0.0.20191217 (2019-12-17)

  • Square is excited to announce the public release of customized SDK for Java

  • GA release: SDKs updated to support new receipt_url and receipt_number fields added to the Payment type.

  • Beta release: SDKs updated to support the new CashDrawerShifts API.

  • Square now follows the semantic versioning scheme for all SDKs except PHP and Node.js. This versioning scheme uses three numbers to delineate MAJOR, MINOR, and PATCH versions of our SDK. In addition, the SDK version also includes the API version so you know what Square API version the SDK is related to. For more information, see Versioning and SDKs.

  • Java, .Net, Python, and Ruby SDKs are now version 4.0.0. Java and .Net SDKs have breaking changes in version 4.0.0. Ruby and Python do not have breaking changes.
