Version 5.20201118.0

New API releases

• Bookings API (beta). The Bookings API lets you create applications to set up and manage bookings for appointments of fixed duration in which selected staff members of a Square seller provide specified services in supported locations for particular customers.
  • For an overview, see Manage Bookings for Square Sellers.
  • For technical reference, see Bookings API.

Existing API updates

• Payments API:
  • Payment. The object now includes the risk_evaluation field to identify the Square-assigned risk level associated with the payment. Sellers can use this information to provide the goods and services or refund the payment.

New SDK release

• New Square Node.js SDK (beta)

  The new Square Node.js SDK is available in beta and will eventually replace the deprecated Connect Node.js SDK. For migration information, see the Connect SDK README. The following topics are updated to use the new SDK:

  • Walkthrough: Integrate Square Payments in a Website
  • Verify the Buyer When Using a Nonce for an Online Payment
  • Create a Gift Card Payment Endpoint

Documentation updates

• The Testing topics are moved from the end of the table of contents to the top, in the Home section under Testing your Application.
• Pay for Orders. The topic is revised to add clarity for when to use the Payments API and Orders API to pay for an order. The Orders integration section for the Payments API is simplified accordingly.
