The error message you’re seeing is a syntax error, which means there’s an issue with the code you’re using. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as a missing bracket, incorrect use of a function, or a typo in your code. It’s hard to provide a specific solution without seeing the actual code, but I would recommend going back to the section of your code where you’re handling the payment process and carefully checking for any syntax mistakes.

If you’re using square.js from some other location, it may be corrupted (or not even meant for square) which can cause the errors such as the one you see.
