Square Error: Payment Not Authorized – Fix Authorization Issue | SuiteRetail Support

Square Error: Payment_Not-Authorized - Contact the Developer


Warning
This is a somewhat misleading error and is not associated with a specific payment transaction failing. It is to do with an authorization issue with your square account typically as a result of using the wrong account or upgrades to the Square SDK by Square.


Idea
You will need to re-authorize square by force quitting out of the app and then performing a manual Settings Sync and toggle the Authorize Square button to on. This will then invoke the authorization workflow where you will enter your Square backend credentials and authenticate. You then should be able to connect to the Square Reader.
