API releases

  • Terminal API. The new Terminal API lets a custom third-party POS app integrate with the Square Terminal to send terminal checkout requests to collect payments.

  • Devices API. The new Devices API lets a custom third-party POS app generate a code used to sign in to a Square Terminal to create a pairing that lets the POS app send terminal checkout requests. For technical reference, see Devices API.

  • Customer Groups API (beta). The new Customer Groups API (Beta) enables full CRUD management of customer groups, including the ability to list, retrieve, create, update, and delete customer groups. Previously, this functionality was only available through the Square dashboard and point-of-sale product interfaces.

  • Customer Segments API (beta). The new Customer Segments API (Beta) lets you list and retrieve customer segment (also called smart groups) information. Coupled with the new segment_ids field on the customer resource, this API lets you better understand and track the customer segments to which a customer belongs.

  • New webhooks. v2 Webhooks (beta) now supports webhooks for the following APIs:

    • Orders API. order.created, order.updated, and order.fulfillment.updated
    • Terminal API. terminal.checkout.created and terminal.checkout.updated
    • Devices API. device.code.paired
