Connect Square to Trimsy

Q: Does Trimsy change my Square processing rates?

No. Your agreement is with Square and your rates are untouched. Trimsy adds no commission of its own.

Q: Which Square location do payments belong to?

The one you select when connecting. This matters if you reconcile per location in Square, so it is worth choosing deliberately rather than accepting the first option.

Q: Can I move to Stripe later?

Yes. The processor is a setting, not a migration. Historical payments stay attached to the processor that took them, which is what keeps your old records truthful.

Q: Do saved cards transfer if I switch processor?

No, and no booking system can move them. A stored card belongs to the processor that captured it, so cards are re-captured after a switch.

Q: Is Square available for Australian businesses?

Yes. Square operates in Australia and Trimsy prices and reports in Australian dollars throughout.

If your counter already runs on Square, you do not have to move payment processors to use Trimsy. Connect the Square account you have and take online payments, deposits and saved-card charges through it, with no commission added by us.

What it does

With Square connected

Every line here is something the product does today, not a roadmap.

Keep the processor you already use — Switching booking software should not mean renegotiating your card rates or moving your payouts. Connect Square and your rates stay exactly as they are.
One set of takings, not two — Online payments taken through Square appear in Trimsy's takings beside your in-person sales, so the end of day adds up without exporting anything.
Deposits on the booking page — Ask for a deposit when a customer books, charged through Square, so a held slot is backed by something.
Cards on file for repeat customers — Square stores the card and Trimsy keeps the token, which is what lets a regular rebook without re-entering details.
Charge or refund from the record — Fees, balances and refunds are actioned from the booking or invoice in front of you rather than in a separate dashboard.

Setting it up

Three steps, and nothing changes until the last one

Step 1

Open Settings ▸ Payments

Choose Square. You will need a Square account in your business name, and the location you want payments attributed to.

Step 2

Authorise and pick the location

Square confirms the connection. If your Square account has more than one location, you choose which one Trimsy's payments belong to.

Step 3

Switch on what you need

Payment at booking, deposits, or card capture only. Set it per service so a free consultation stays free to book.

Worth knowing first

Saved cards do not move between processors. If you connect Square now and change to Stripe later, your customers' cards on file are captured again from scratch, because the token only means something to the processor that issued it.

Questions

About Square specifically.

Can I use Square for online bookings and keep my Square reader at the counter?

Yes, and that is the usual reason to pick Square here. Your reader keeps working as it does today and online payments join the same Square account.
