| 1 | +# Square Java Library |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +[](https://github.com/fern-api/fern) |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The Square Java library provides convenient access to the Square API from Java. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Requirements |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Use of the Square Java SDK requires: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Java 8+ |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Installation |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### Gradle |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Add the dependency in your `build.gradle`: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```groovy |
| 20 | +dependencies { |
| 21 | + implementation 'com.squareup:square:44.0.0.20250319' |
| 22 | +} |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### Maven |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Add the dependency in your `pom.xml`: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```xml |
| 30 | +<dependency> |
| 31 | + <groupId>com.squareup</groupId> |
| 32 | + <artifactId>square</artifactId> |
| 33 | + <version>44.0.0.20250319</version> |
| 34 | +</dependency> |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Usage |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Instantiate and use the client with the following: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```java |
| 42 | +package com.square.examples; |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 45 | +import com.squareup.square.types.CashPaymentDetails; |
| 46 | +import com.squareup.square.types.CreatePaymentRequest; |
| 47 | +import com.squareup.square.types.CreatePaymentResponse; |
| 48 | +import com.squareup.square.types.Currency; |
| 49 | +import com.squareup.square.types.Money; |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +public class QuickStart { |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + public static void main(String[] args) { |
| 54 | + SquareClient square = SquareClient.builder().build(); |
| 55 | + CreatePaymentResponse response = square.payments() |
| 56 | + .create(CreatePaymentRequest.builder() |
| 57 | + .sourceId("CASH") |
| 58 | + .idempotencyKey("4935a656-a929-4792-b97c-8848be85c27c") |
| 59 | + .amountMoney(Money.builder() |
| 60 | + .amount(100L) |
| 61 | + .currency(Currency.USD) |
| 62 | + .build()) |
| 63 | + .tipMoney(Money.builder() |
| 64 | + .amount(50L) |
| 65 | + .currency(Currency.USD) |
| 66 | + .build()) |
| 67 | + .cashDetails(CashPaymentDetails.builder() |
| 68 | + .buyerSuppliedMoney(Money.builder() |
| 69 | + .amount(200L) |
| 70 | + .currency(Currency.USD) |
| 71 | + .build()) |
| 72 | + .build()) |
| 73 | + .build()); |
| 74 | + } |
| 75 | +} |
| 76 | +``` |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## Instantiation |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +To get started with the Square SDK, instantiate the `SquareClient` class as follows: |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +```java |
| 83 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +SquareClient square = SquareClient.builder().token("SQUARE_TOKEN").build(); |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Alternatively, you can omit the token when constructing the client. In this case, the SDK will automatically read the |
| 89 | +token from the `SQUARE_TOKEN` environment variable: |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```java |
| 92 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +SquareClient square = SquareClient.builder().build(); |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### Environment and Custom URLs |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +This SDK allows you to configure different environments or custom URLs for API requests. You can either use the |
| 100 | +predefined environments or specify your own custom URL. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +**Environments** |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +```java |
| 105 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 106 | +import com.squareup.square.core.Environment; |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +SquareClient square = SquareClient.builder().environment(Environment.PRODUCTION).build(); |
| 109 | +``` |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +**Custom URL** |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +```java |
| 114 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +SquareClient square = SquareClient.builder().url("https://custom-staging.com").build(); |
| 117 | +``` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## Enums |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +This SDK wraps enums for forward compatibility. We define enum properties as constant type instances with `String` properties |
| 122 | +and use `valueOf` to specify custom enum types that may not yet be included as constants. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +### Example Usage |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +**Supported Property** |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +```java |
| 129 | +import com.squareup.square.types.InvoicePaymentRequest; |
| 130 | +import com.squareup.square.types.InvoiceRequestType; |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +InvoicePaymentRequest paymentRequest = InvoicePaymentRequest.builder() |
| 133 | + .requestType(InvoiceRequestType.BALANCE) |
| 134 | + .build(); |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +**Custom Property** |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +```java |
| 140 | +import com.squareup.square.types.InvoicePaymentRequest; |
| 141 | +import com.squareup.square.types.InvoiceRequestType; |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +InvoicePaymentRequest paymentRequest = InvoicePaymentRequest.builder() |
| 144 | + .requestType(InvoiceRequestType.valueOf("CUSTOM")) |
| 145 | + .build(); |
| 146 | +``` |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +## Versioning |
| 149 | +By default, the SDK is pinned to the version 2025-03-19. If you would like to |
| 150 | +override this version you can simply pass in a request option. |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +```java |
| 153 | +client.cards().create(..., RequestOptions.builder() |
| 154 | + .version("2024-05-04") // override the version used |
| 155 | + .build()); |
| 156 | +``` |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +## Automatic Pagination |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +Paginated requests will return an `Iterable<T>`, which can be used to loop through the underlying items. |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +```java |
| 163 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 164 | +import com.squareup.square.core.SyncPagingIterable; |
| 165 | +import com.squareup.square.types.Payment; |
| 166 | +import com.squareup.square.types.PaymentsListRequest; |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +SquareClient square = SquareClient.builder().token("YOUR_TOKEN").build(); |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +SyncPagingIterable<Payment> payments = |
| 171 | + square.payments().list(PaymentsListRequest.builder().total(100L).build()); |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +for (Payment payment : payments) { |
| 174 | + System.out.printf( |
| 175 | + "payment: ID: %s Created at: %s, Updated at: %s\n", |
| 176 | + payment.getId(), payment.getCreatedAt(), payment.getUpdatedAt()); |
| 177 | +} |
| 178 | +``` |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +or stream them: |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +```java |
| 183 | +square.payments() |
| 184 | + .list(PaymentsListRequest.builder().total(100L).build()) |
| 185 | + .streamItems() |
| 186 | + .map(item -> ...); |
| 187 | +``` |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +or calling `nextPage()` to perform the pagination manually: |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +```java |
| 192 | +// First page |
| 193 | +List<Payment> pagePayments = payments.getItems(); |
| 194 | +for (Payment payment : pagePayments) { |
| 195 | + // ... |
| 196 | +} |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +// Remaining pages |
| 199 | +while (payments.hasNext()) { |
| 200 | + pagePayments = payments.nextPage().getItems(); |
| 201 | + for (Payment payment : pagePayments) { |
| 202 | + // ... |
| 203 | + } |
| 204 | +} |
| 205 | +``` |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +## Retries |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long |
| 210 | +as the request is deemed retriable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured |
| 211 | +retry limit (default: 2). |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +A request is deemed retriable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned: |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +- [408](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/408) (Timeout) |
| 216 | +- [429](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429) (Too Many Requests) |
| 217 | +- [5XX](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/500) (Internal Server Errors) |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +Use the `maxRetries` request option to configure this behavior. |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +```java |
| 222 | +square.cards().create(..., RequestOptions.builder() |
| 223 | + .maxRetries(1) |
| 224 | + .build()); |
| 225 | +``` |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +## Timeouts |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +The SDK defaults to a 60 second timeout. You can configure this with a timeout |
| 230 | +option at the client or request level. |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +```java |
| 233 | +square.cards().create(..., RequestOptions.builder() |
| 234 | + .timeout(10) |
| 235 | + .build()); |
| 236 | +``` |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +## Exception Handling |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +When the API returns a non-success status code (`4xx` or `5xx` response), a `SquareApiException` will be thrown. |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +```java |
| 243 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 244 | +import com.squareup.square.core.SquareApiException; |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +try { |
| 247 | + square.payments().create(...); |
| 248 | +} catch (SquareApiException e) { |
| 249 | + System.out.println("Square API exception occurred: " + e.getMessage()); |
| 250 | + System.out.println("Status code: " + e.statusCode()); |
| 251 | + System.out.println("Response body: " + e.body()); |
| 252 | +} |
| 253 | +``` |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +## Webhook Signature Verification |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +The SDK provides utility methods that allow you to verify webhook signatures and ensure that all webhook events |
| 258 | +originate from Square. The `WebhooksHelper.verifySignature` method can be used to easily verify the signature like so: |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +```java |
| 261 | +import com.squareup.square.utilities.WebhooksHelper; |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +boolean isValid = WebhooksHelper.verifySignature( |
| 264 | + requestBody, |
| 265 | + headers.get("x-square-hmacsha256-signature"), |
| 266 | + "YOUR_SIGNATURE_KEY", |
| 267 | + "https://example.com/webhook" // The URL where event notifications are sent. |
| 268 | +); |
| 269 | +``` |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | +## Legacy SDK |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +While the new SDK has a lot of improvements, we at Square understand that it takes time to upgrade when there are breaking changes. |
| 274 | +To make the migration easier, the new SDK also exports the legacy SDK as `com.squareup.square.legacy...`. Here's an example of how you |
| 275 | +can use the legacy SDK alongside the new SDK inside a single file: |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +```java |
| 278 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 279 | +import com.squareup.square.core.Environment; |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +SquareClient square = |
| 282 | + SquareClient.builder() |
| 283 | + .environment(Environment.PRODUCTION) |
| 284 | + .token("YOUR_TOKEN") |
| 285 | + .build(); |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +com.squareup.square.legacy.SquareClient legacyClient = |
| 288 | + new com.squareup.square.legacy.SquareClient.Builder() |
| 289 | + .environment(com.squareup.square.legacy.Environment.PRODUCTION) |
| 290 | + .accessToken("YOUR_TOKEN") |
| 291 | + .build(); |
| 292 | +``` |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +We recommend migrating to the new SDK using the following steps: |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +1. Include the following dependencies in your project |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +Gradle: |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +```groovy |
| 301 | +dependencies { |
| 302 | + implementation 'com.squareup:square:44.0.0.20250319' |
| 303 | + implementation 'com.squareup:square-legacy:44.0.0.20250319' |
| 304 | +} |
| 305 | +``` |
| 306 | + |
| 307 | +Maven: |
| 308 | + |
| 309 | +```xml |
| 310 | +<dependency> |
| 311 | + <groupId>com.squareup</groupId> |
| 312 | + <artifactId>square</artifactId> |
| 313 | + <version>44.0.0.20250319</version> |
| 314 | +</dependency> |
| 315 | +<dependency> |
| 316 | + <groupId>com.squareup</groupId> |
| 317 | + <artifactId>square-legacy</artifactId> |
| 318 | + <version>44.0.0.20250319</version> |
| 319 | +</dependency> |
| 320 | +``` |
| 321 | + |
| 322 | +2. Search and replace all imports from `com.squareup.square` to `com.squareup.square.legacy` |
| 323 | +3. Gradually move over to use the new SDK by importing it from the `com.squareup.square` import |
| 324 | +## Advanced |
| 325 | + |
| 326 | +### Custom HTTP Client |
| 327 | + |
| 328 | +This SDK is built to work with any instance of `OkHttpClient`. By default, if no client is provided, the SDK will construct one. However, you can pass your own client like so: |
| 329 | + |
| 330 | +```java |
| 331 | +import com.squareup.square.SquareClient; |
| 332 | +import com.squareup.square.core.Environment; |
| 333 | +import okhttp3.OkHttpClient; |
| 334 | + |
| 335 | +OkHttpClient customClient = ... ; |
| 336 | + |
| 337 | +SquareClient square = |
| 338 | + SquareClient.builder() |
| 339 | + .environment(Environment.PRODUCTION) |
| 340 | + .token("YOUR_TOKEN") |
| 341 | + .httpClient(customClient) |
| 342 | + .build(); |
| 343 | +``` |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +### Receive Additional Properties |
| 346 | + |
| 347 | +Every response type includes the `getAdditionalProperties` method, which returns an array that contains any properties in the JSON response that |
| 348 | +were not specified in the returned class. Similar to the use case for sending additional parameters, this can be useful for API features not present in the SDK yet. |
| 349 | + |
| 350 | +You can access the additional properties like so: |
| 351 | + |
| 352 | +```java |
| 353 | +CreatePaymentResponse payments = square.payments().create(...); |
| 354 | +Map<String, Object> additionalProperties = payments.getAdditionalProperties(); |
| 355 | +``` |
| 356 | + |
| 357 | +## Contributing |
| 358 | + |
| 359 | +While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. |
| 360 | +Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, |
| 361 | +otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as |
| 362 | +a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening |
| 363 | +an issue first to discuss with us! |
| 364 | + |
| 365 | +On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome! |
