Accept Cards on Your Checkout With PublicSquare

Customers enter card details on your site, the card goes straight to PublicSquare's vault, and you manage every payment from your order screen.

Everything You Need to Take PublicSquare Payments

On-site checkout, saved cards and admin payment actions in your order screen.

Cards Never Touch Your Server
Card entry happens on your checkout page, but card data goes to PublicSquare's vault from the browser and never passes through your server.
Saved Cards for Repeat Customers
Logged-in shoppers save their card at checkout and find it ready on their next visit.
Authorize Now, Capture on Fulfillment
Reserve funds at checkout and capture from the order screen when you ship, or cancel the authorization if you cannot fulfill.
Full and Partial Refunds from the Order Screen
Issue a full or partial refund from the order screen. The plugin tracks refunds so you cannot over-refund.
Webhook-Signed Order Confirmation
Orders confirm only on a signed signal from PublicSquare, and duplicate confirmations are ignored.
Renewals for Subscription Products
For products sold with the Subscriptions And Memberships app, renewals are charged to the card saved on the first purchase.
Geozone and Subtotal Gates
Limit card payments to chosen countries or order values.
Sandbox and Live Modes
Separate test and live API keys, with a dashboard warning while test mode is on.
Configurable Order Statuses
Choose which order statuses mean paid, authorized, refunded and failed.
