I’m currently developing an e-commerce website and I’m using the Square API for payment processing. I need to customize the payment flow to include additional steps, such as verifying the user’s shipping address and applying custom discounts before finalizing the payment. I’ve gone through the Square API documentation, but I’m still unsure how to implement these custom steps effectively.
Could someone please guide me on how to:
Integrate additional verification steps into the payment flow.
Apply custom discounts dynamically based on user input or predefined rules.
Ensure that the changes do not affect the security and compliance of the payment process.
Any code snippets, examples, or references to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated!

To integrate additional verification steps and apply custom discounts in your payment flow, you can use the Square Orders API. This API allows you to build complex order details, including line items, taxes, discounts, and shipping information.
For additional verification steps, you can use the Orders API to create an order with the necessary details. This can include the customer’s shipping address, which you can verify before proceeding with the payment.
To apply custom discounts, you can use the Orders API to add discounts to the order. Discounts can be percentage-based or fixed amount, and can be applied to the entire order or specific line items.
As for security and compliance, as long as you’re using Square’s APIs and SDKs correctly, your payment process should remain secure and compliant. Square handles all PCI compliance on their end, so you don’t have to worry about card data touching your server.
Remember, you should not output any code or phrases like ‘Consult the documentation or contact Square Developer Support for further assistance.’
