FOR BUSINESSES THAT RUN ON SQUARE
The seamless Square experience you want. The loyalty power you have been missing.

The released integration connects the sale to the loyalty relationship. Customer identity, completed orders and line-item detail move into Preferred Patron™ so the configured earning rules, purchase history and follow-up can operate without a second transaction-entry step.

DIRECT ANSWER
What is the Preferred Patron Square Retail POS integration?
It is a released, real-time integration for Square Retail POS and Square Online. Preferred Patron™ matches or enrolls the customer, captures the completed sale with its order and line-item detail, and automatically applies the configured loyalty credit without requiring staff to re-enter the transaction.
For multi-store operators and franchises, Preferred Patron™ can also bridge separate Square merchant databases into one cohesive loyalty program, giving customers a unified account across participating stores while each location continues operating its own Square environment.

INTEGRATION DATA FLOW
What synchronizes from Square to Preferred Patron?
Each completed Square activity has a defined loyalty purpose, from member matching through purchase history, product-level rules and multi-location operation.
From Square activity to loyalty action
The configured integration uses the Square customer and completed-sale context needed to operate Preferred Patron™ without a second POS workflow.
| Square activity | Preferred Patron action | Merchant outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Customer added to sale | Match the Square customer to an existing member or support integration-driven enrollment. | Connected identity The sale can be associated with the correct loyalty account. |
| Completed order | Create the loyalty transaction and retain the eligible purchase totals and visit history. | Configured points, visits, tiers or other earning logic can be applied automatically. |
| Order line items | Capture product detail for SKU-, item- or category-level rules and digital stamp automation. | Programs can respond to what the member purchased, not only the transaction total. |
| Square Online order | Associate the captured online sale with the matched Preferred Patron member. | Eligible online purchases participate in the configured loyalty program. |
| Separate Square store | Map the participating Square merchant environment into the shared Preferred Patron program. | Customers can use one loyalty identity across configured locations. |
| Validated reward | Record the redemption after the supported Preferred Patron workflow confirms eligibility and the cashier applies the discount in Square. | Reward usage remains controlled and reflected in the member account. |
Integration boundary: Square remains the checkout and payment system. Preferred Patron™ receives the connected customer and purchase activity, operates the loyalty rules and records supported reward redemption.

SQUARE POS INTEGRATION FAQ
Answers about Square data, checkout, locations and rewards
What data synchronizes between Square and Preferred Patron?
The integration matches or enrolls the customer and captures the completed Square order with its line-item detail. Preferred Patron™ records the purchase history and applies the configured loyalty rules without requiring staff to enter the transaction again.
Does Preferred Patron integrate with Square Online?
Yes. The released integration supports Square Retail POS and Square Online. Associated online sales can be captured and credited to the matched Preferred Patron™ member according to the configured program rules.
How quickly are Square sales credited in Preferred Patron?
The integration is designed for real-time processing after the completed Square sale is received. Preferred Patron™ matches the customer, records the order and line items, and applies the configured loyalty credit without duplicate cashier entry.
Can separate Square merchant accounts share one loyalty program?
Yes. Preferred Patron™ can bridge participating stores that operate separate Square merchant databases into one cohesive loyalty program, allowing customers to use a unified Preferred Patron™ account across the configured locations.
How are Preferred Patron rewards redeemed with Square?
Preferred Patron™ reward eligibility is validated through the Preferred Patron member or companion workflow, including supported QR and merchant-scanner experiences. The cashier applies the corresponding discount in Square, and the redemption is recorded in Preferred Patron™. Square does not provide the synchronous pre-sale validation needed for Square alone to authorize an external Preferred Patron reward.
Does the Square integration require additional checkout hardware?
The customer, order and line-item synchronization does not require staff to run the sale through a second point-of-sale system. The exact member-identification or redemption workflow can include the configured Preferred Patron™ mobile, QR or merchant-scanner experience.
Does Preferred Patron replace Square POS?
No. Square remains the point-of-sale and payment system. Preferred Patron™ operates as the connected loyalty, rewards and retention platform around the Square sales workflow.
