Save card details for further payments, where applicable. Check the box in this line so that when paying for repeated orders, the user does not have to enter the bank card data again. In this case, the subsequent payment will be available to the user in one click. This setting is necessary for making recurring payments. Please note that during the test payments it is necessary to uncheck this box, as test payments may not pass. When you launch payment integration in combat mode, then you should check the box.
Currency. Select the currency in which you plan to accept payments. If you work in different markets in different countries, you can choose the currency for accepting payments in each payment system. For example, by selling courses in dollars through one payment system, you can accept euros through another payment system. Automatic currency conversion takes place at the international exchange rate.
Application ID. Write here the number of your Application ID in SquareUp.
Location ID. Enter the Location ID that you copied on the SquareUp website.
Access token. Enter the Access token that you copied on the SquareUp website.

Show a pop-up window. Check the box so that a pop-up window with payment opens when paying for the order, and does not redirect the user to a separate page for payment.
After filling out the form, click "Create". Now you have the "SquareUp" tool in the list of payment instruments.
