How to Trigger n8n Workflow on New Square Payments?

[umutwawa]

Hi everyone,

I’m transitioning from using Zapier’s Square integration and exploring n8n as an alternative for my automation workflows. One of the key features I rely on is the ability to trigger a workflow when a new payment is received in Square.

I noticed that n8n doesn’t currently offer a native Square integration. I came across this GitHub repo: GitHub - Rostammahabadi/n8n-nodes-square, but I’m unsure if it’s production-ready or supports real-time triggers like “New Payment”.

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to set up a trigger in n8n for when a new payment is made via Square (similar to Zapier’s “New Payment” trigger). Is there a way to achieve this using:

• Webhooks from Square directly?
• The custom Square node from the GitHub repo above?
• Any other method that can poll or listen for new payment events?

What is the error message (if any)?

No error yet — just seeking guidance before I proceed with setting it up.

I’d appreciate any advice or examples from anyone who’s implemented a Square integration or webhook in n8n. Thanks in advance!

It doesn’t appear this implementation supports triggers.

As for other ways - does Square support sending webhook requests on events? Looks like it does, please read these docs. If Square does send webhooks (which it most likely does), you can setup a webhook trigger node in n8n and accept such requests to trigger a workflow.

I will check it out, thank you!

You are very welcome, let me know if you have follow up questions.

Will do for sure, I will mark as solution soon, as it looks like there really are lots of webhook’s in the square developer platform, thank you!

Note: Yup! It works perfect! Thank you! For those wonder how, just sign in to https://developer.squareup.com/ and read the docs for webhook’s, and create your own subscriptions to listen with n8n.
