Get Started

Create an account and make your first Square API call in minutes.

With the Square Developer platform, you can build custom applications that help Square sellers take payments, create and track orders, manage inventory, organize customers, and more. Get started building with the following steps:

  1. Create an Account and Application
  2. Make your First API Call
  3. View the API Logs
  4. Verify the Payment

These steps introduce the foundational knowledge that you need to work with the Square API, along with some Square developer tools.
