Payments
Square
Square is a first-class payment integration — ideal for operators who already run Square at the counter and want their Kinchaku passes to settle through the same rail. It’s the payment rail on the Square-only STANDARD plan, and available on BOOSTER and PREMIUM too.
What Square does with Kinchaku
- Card-present payments — counter-side processing via Square terminals
- Card-not-present — online checkout for bookings and ticket sales
- Apple Pay and Google Pay — digital wallet acceptance via Square
What you need to connect
- A Square account with admin access
- The Square OAuth flow — about 60 seconds from your Kinchaku workspace
No API keys to paste, no webhooks to wire manually.

Common workflows
- Inbound-tourist coupon redemption at the counter — the guest presents a Kinchaku wallet coupon; Square terminal processes the residual amount.
- Ticket sales through your existing Square register — bookings or admission tickets settle through the same account your accountant already reconciles.
- Multi-venue operators with existing Square infrastructure — keep your physical hardware; add the wallet pass layer on top.
FAQ
Do ticket sales made through Kinchaku settle in my existing Square account?
Yes. Bookings and admission tickets settle through the same Square account you already use, the one your accountant already reconciles. Counter card payments are processed on Square terminals.
Which plans can use Square?
Square is the payment rail on STANDARD, the Square-only plan, and it is also available on BOOSTER and PREMIUM. SMB uses Stripe instead.
Do I have to replace my Square hardware?
No. Operators with existing Square infrastructure keep their physical hardware and add the wallet pass layer on top, and card payments at the counter are processed on Square terminals.
