v1.0.3
Released May 2nd, 2019
View/hide detailed changelog
Version 1.0.3 Changes
- Idempotency Key changed from string to unique id.
The idem key was not correctly changing the key each time, and was allowing transactions to fail. With this change, when you refresh the invoice the key will change, thus allowing the charge to go through correctly. The idem key does prevent duplicate charges! Those that download a 30 day trial, or have an Owned License and have a VALID Updates Subscription will be able to receive this update!
For those with a current license, make sure you do not replace license-key.php as it will override your license and you will need to re-add the license key. You also do not need to update square.tpl to your template directory.
v1.0.2
Released March 12th, 2019
View/hide detailed changelog
Hotfixes to fix the following:
- License Validation Structure
- Directory Structure for WHMCS installs not in a root folder. You will be able to edit square.tpl to specify your folder name
- Hot Fix to allow below PHP 7. This will also work with lower versions of the IonCube Loader as well.

This was a 5 star plugin when it worked. The dev has vanished though and the sites are all down so the add-on no longer authenticates and does not work. Hope the dev is okay but would not recommend buying this plugin right now.
Edit the dev is okay! So is working on getting it all back up :D
Dominic Adamson @dominic301
I'm trying to download this again but your website is down, I remember it being decent.
Andrew Sailors @andrew2821
This module would be better if it kept the clients/guests on your website when entering credit card details. Is there a way to do this?
Michael Foland @michael5932
Hello @andrew2821,
Owner@Best PHP ScriptsCurrently, once the client goes to the payment page the form shows. I will talk to our Development team to see the best way to implement this. If you head to our website at https://mybeastportal.com I would love it if you can submit a support ticket, and we can proceed from there!
John Dough @area9232

Mr. PC @mr5599
This plugin is not a good match with WHMCS. The description does not make it clear but you cannot use the square plugin the way you are using other gateways in WHMCS. For example, if you are a hosting company that is planning to replace your current gateway (authorize for example) with this plugin don't even think about it. You cannot "auto" charge any clientele. No need to keep cards on file anymore. Another very disappointing aspect of this plugin is this. If you create an invoice and your client has a credit card on file, you can't attempt a capture with this plugin on the invoicing page.
I brought these issues to the attention of the developers and was told that they will try to make modification to the plugin to actually make it work with WHMCS. I felt cheated. Asked for a refund and have been told that "their policy" is no refunds. Well, the plugin should work as a gateway. That is how it is sold. But it doesn't work like that at all. I deserve a refund and could care less what their policy is. If their policy is to cheat customers then they win. When I asked the developers to give me a refund now and then I can buy it again when they get it working...same answer. They won't refund my money. So I basically just gave them over $200 for nothing. I could have wiped my butt with it and flushed it. Same result.
This plugin is very, very disappointing and does not work like any other gateway. It is misleading and shouldn't even be an option to buy in this forum.
Michael Foland @michael5932
Hello Mr. PC,
Owner@Best PHP ScriptsCan you please contact us through our website? We are in the process of developing recurring payments. This has not been very feasible with Square, but there are some new things that have been added to Squares API. As far as a refund, we can work out credits on the account, but the module works as expected right now, except for recurring payments. We have also worked on the design aspect of the form. Please contact us, and we'll be glad to talk over this with you.

This plugin is amazing, absolutely affordable for smaller businesses getting into the Hosting world. Very nice and easy to access customer support. Fast responses with real answers to questions. Not a lot of back and forth or misunderstanding. They know what they are doing over there at Beast! I am very happy to be a client of theirs. I was worried that I was going to have to switch merchant providers as the other companies price point was so high it didn't fit into my budget. But I found these guys and I couldn't be happier. Taking payments is smooth and efficient with no glitches or issues. I wish all of my services were this easy and conflict free. Thanks guys, keep up the great work.
Michael Foland @michael5932

Thank you for the 5 star rating! If there's anything we can do to improve the payment gateway, please let us know.
Owner@Best PHP ScriptsBhagwan Sahane @Logicmaker
I think this module is no more updated with recent API updates and also not compatible with SCA requirements.
Might be @mfoland is not aware of this updates from payment gateway.
Let us know if anyone wants help regarding the same.

Nicholas Sansom @nicholas6920

Ian Turner @ian7070
I have been looking for a Square payment gateway for a long time and finally, BestPHP Scripts has built one. I started off with the trial and was so happy with it, I purchased the full license right away. I was having some issues with my WHMCS (not related to this module), and Michael from BestPHP Scripts went above and beyond to help me so I could get things working properly and get my square payment gateway setup. Top-notch product & support. I highly recommend this module to anyone who accepts square payments. Well worth the money.
Michael Foland @michael5932
Hello Ian,
Owner@Best PHP ScriptsThank you SO MUCH for your review! We really appreciate it, and we are planning some new updates as well! Let us know if you have any issues or suggestions :)

Bryan Alderson @bryan4633
The payment gateway I've been waiting for. I'd nearly given up on Square integration when I couldn't even get a pre-sales response from the other Square gateway vendor.
The team from Best PHP Scripts went above and beyond to ensure my Square integration was up and running with the minimum of fuss.
Great responsive support I couldn't have asked for more.
Cannot recommend the team at Best PHP Scripts enough!
Michael Foland @michael5932
Bryan,
Owner@Best PHP ScriptsThank you so much for your review! We're glad to help!
