如何让API创建的订单/交易在Square App触发新付费订单通知？

Hey there! Let’s walk through how to get those Square App notifications working for your custom online orders—since you’re not using Square’s built-in Online Store, there are a few specific settings and checks you might have missed.

Key Checks to Enable App Notifications #

• Verify App & System Notification Permissions
  First, make sure the operator’s Square App has order notifications turned on. Open the Square App, navigate to Settings > Notifications, and look for options like Paid Orders or New Orders—toggle these to enabled. Don’t forget to check your phone’s system-level permissions too: for iOS, go to Settings > Square > Notifications; for Android, find Square in your app settings and confirm notification access is allowed.

• Check Dashboard Notification Rules for API Orders
  Since you’re creating orders via a custom flow (not the Online Store), head to your Square Dashboard’s web portal, go to Settings > Notifications, and ensure you’ve enabled notifications specifically for API-created orders. Some default settings only trigger alerts for in-person or Online Store orders, so this is a common oversight.

• Confirm Operator Account Permissions
  Double-check the operator’s team role in Square Dashboard (Team > Team Members). Make sure their role includes permissions to receive order notifications—restricted roles (like limited access staff) might not get these alerts by default. You may need to adjust their role settings or create a custom role with notification access.

• Refresh the Square App
  Sometimes cached data can block notifications. Try logging out of the Square App, clearing the app cache (Android only), or restarting your device, then logging back in. This often resolves minor sync issues between your account and the app.

If Notifications Still Fail #

If all the above checks pass, take a look at the order details in your Square Dashboard. Some orders have a Notification History section where you can see if Square attempted to send an alert and why it failed. Also, confirm your API call is correctly marking the order as a paid, customer-initiated transaction—missing metadata or incorrect status flags might prevent the notification trigger.

The Square App absolutely supports push notifications for paid orders from custom flows, so this is definitely fixable with the right settings tweaks!
