Is it possible to use Terminal APIs to process payments (Payments API) for orders (created using Orders API)

Hello,

I am looking at ways to process order payments using the Square Terminal. Ideally the flow should be

Create orders (Orders API) → Create payment (Payments API) → Take payment using a Square Terminal (Terminal API) → Complete

Is such an interaction between these three APIs possible at this point? I know the Square POS app already does the above well and I love the app. However, our business needs a very niche feature that is unlikely to be available.

Looking at the documentation of the Payments API, it doesn’t seem to support Payments from devices. If this is the case should I skip the Payments API and go from Orders to Terminal directly?

Thank you!

:wave: At this time the ability to pay for an order with the Terminal API isn’t currently available. This is a very popular feature request and we hope to have more for you very soon!

Also you are correct the Payments API doesn’t support payments from devices. The Terminal ApI uses CreateTerminalCheckout to generate the payment from the device. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Bryan, we are creating kiosk app with square terminal. Can you give an estimated time for this feature ? Or is there any workaround about establishing relation between terminal checkout and order ?

Ugh, orders and itemizations, and partial authorization are currently in beta and supported only in the US. :disappointed:

The team is looking to expand orders support across all our supported regions as this is a very popular feature request. I unfortunately don’t have a timeline on this but keep an eye out for announcements. :slightly_smiling_face:
