Square Invoices API Terminal API Payments API


Version Summary


Details

  • 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.

    • UpdatePayment. This new endpoint enables developers to change the payment amount and tip amount after a payment is created. For more information, see Update Payments.

  • Invoices API:

    • InvoiceDeliveryMethod enum. Added the read-only SMS value.

    • InvoiceRequestMethod enum (deprecated). Added the read-only SMS, SMS_CHARGE_CARD_ON_FILE, and SMS_CHARGE_BANK_ON_FILE values for backward compatibility.

    These values direct Square to send invoices and receipts to customers using SMS (text message). 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.

    • CheckoutOptionsPaymentType. A new enum for the Terminal checkout payment types that can be requested.

    • E-money support is now available for Terminal checkout requests in Japan.

  • Square Java SDK:

    • Updated the OkHttp dependency to version 4.9.0.

    • Fixed a NullPointerException when passing an empty order ID to the UpdateOrder method.

  • Multi-language code examples. Previously, various topics showed only cURL examples for the REST API operations. These topics now show examples in multiple languages. You can use the language drop-down list to choose a language.

  • When to Use Connect V1. Content is revised to reflect the most current information about when to use the Connect V1 API.

We've made improvements to our docs.
