Your customers already care about giving back; now your checkout can too. Integrating Square with Pledge lets your brand turn everyday transactions into transparent, automated fundraising, with zero extra work at the register.
This guide walks you through connecting your Square account, picking the causes you want to support, choosing how donations are raised (brand-funded, customer-powered, or both!), and finalizing your billing. Let's get your store ready to start making an impact.
How It Works
The Square App connects your Pledge giving page directly to Square's point-of-sale system. That means every swipe, tap, or QR scan at your pop-up, retail counter, or event flows straight into your Pledge dashboard — right alongside any donations you collect online.
- 💜 Connect once. Link your Square account to Pledge in a few clicks — no developer needed.
- 📲 Collect anywhere. Use your existing Square hardware or the Square app on your phone to invite donations at checkout, pop-up booths, or the merch table.
- 📊 See it all in one place. In-person and online gifts land in the same Pledge dashboard, so your reporting never gets messy.
- ✨ Choose your giving model. Round up at checkout, add a flat donation, or match customer gifts — Pledge adapts to however your brand wants to give.

Why It Matters
Most brands treat in-person giving as an afterthought — a separate tool, a separate spreadsheet, a separate headache come reconciliation time. Square + Pledge closes that gap. Your team gets one system, one set of reports, and a giving program that customers can see and trust, wherever they shop.
