# Square

## Connection

When you set up your first workflow with Square, you will need to create a [connection](https://docs.getmesa.com/going-further/credentials) to connect MESA with Square.

## Technical Notes

While our Square integration has extensive possibilities to achieve your workflow goals, there are a few important things to be aware of.

* Our integration **does not** allow you to use Square as a third-party payment provider in Shopify.
* Square orders cannot be automatically created in Shopify and linked with the original Square order when placed via Square. Vice versa, Shopify orders cannot be automatically created in Square and linked with the original Shopify order when placed via Shopify. Limitations between both services and their APIs prevent this currently.
