I am trying to integrate my existing opencart store with Square for payments processing, but unfortunately I cannot figure out where to begin.
I added the square extension to opencart and it during configuration it asks for Square Application ID and OAuth Application Secret, which it says I need to get from square, however I cannot find where to go in square to do this. Square's tutorials are very limited and basically point me to where I can install the opencart extension, but nothing further. I googled it and found some other articles which say to go to the the square app developer area or something to get these keys, but I can't figure out how to get there. (Square admin portal seems to have been redesigned since those tutorials were written.) I tried contacting square support and they said all the API stuff is done through ocart directly and to contact opencart...

Just wondering if anyone here has done this before and would be able to give me pointers as to where to start to integrate square with opencart?
Thanks for your patience, I have nearly zero programming knowledge but consider myself pretty tech savvy otherwise. This should be simple but for some reason I am struggling on this mainly due to lack of up-to-date documentation....

Best regards,
Caleb

OC version. Contact the extension developer to resolve this issue with the extension.

Dedication and passion goes to those who are able to push and merge a project.

Top left - "hamburger icon"
go down to settings and click
Choose "App integrations"
You should have something listed under "application", click on that, it'll open in a new window.
Click around and you should find everything you need.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I had done all that and the most I could find was this tutorial saying to go to the developer portal in square:

https://youtu.be/4sSSKwA3KrM?si=NVPY7ojUpJJ6Bsbc

I could not find the described link to enter the said developer portal but now that I look at it further I found it. Have to go to sign into square then go to developer.squareup.com and can then follow the rest of the tutorial from there.

Thanks,
Caleb
