Detail Bookie helps you accept online deposits, invoice payments and tips directly into your Square account.

We initiate payments for your customer directly from your customer booking website, or email and text message payment requests.

Detail Bookie is not a middle-man for these transactions, and has no access to your Square account or funds.  We only initiate payment transactions for you and your customers through Square Payments.  We don’t take a cut, and payments occur immediately into your Square account.

Follow these steps to set up the payments link between Detail Bookie and Square Payments


Linking Your Square Account

The first step to accepting payments online with Detail Bookie is to connect your Square account. Don't have a Square account? Sign up here. You'll also want to make sure that you have at least one customer and one ticket created in your Backoffice before you get started.

Next, click the Set Up button from the main menu on the left. Under the Company tab, select Square Payments.
