Square and Taplist.io Integration Guide
This article describes how to set up and use Taplist.io's integration with Square and Square for Restaurants.
Overview
Taplist.io is proud to offer a direct, fast integration to Square, including Square for Restaurants.
When you activate this integration, Taplist.io will automatically synchronize your Square menus into an equivalent Taplist.io menu.
Menus synchronized from Square become read-only in Taplist.io: When you & your staff need to make menu changes, you only need to make those changes in Square. Taplist.io will automatically refresh with those changes—typically in less than a minute.
⚠️ Beta Advisory: This integration is in Public Beta as of August 2025. "Public Beta" means we may still be making small changes, tweaks, or bugfixes. If you encounter an issue or have feedback, please see the "Help and Feedback" section at the bottom of this article.
Requirements
To use this integration, you will need:
- A Taplist.io Pro account. POS sync features are only available on Pro accounts and above.
- An active Square account.
- At least one Menu created at Square using the Square for Restaurants feature.
Important: You will need at least one Menu to exist on Square in order for the integration to sync. If you do not yet have a Menu on Square, please first follow Square's instructions for creating menus.
Setup Instructions
Here's how to activate the integration on your account.
- Visit Account → Integrations → Square.
- Press "Activate Square Connection" and follow the on-screen instructions.
Beverage Metadata Support
When managing your products in Square, you can set beverage-related metadata (such as ABV) as a Square custom attribute and Taplist.io will recognize those values.
Your custom attributes must use the following names. All attributes are optional, meaning you can set as few or as many as you like on any Square product.

|---|---|---|---|
| IBU | Number | 1 |
