Connect formformform to Square
Turn every form submission into a Square customer, invoice, or order the moment someone hits submit.
Someone completes your formformform form.
The “New Submission” trigger fires instantly.
Your data lands where the work happens.
formformform is a form builder that sends your responses straight into Square. Instead of retyping order details or adding new buyers to your Customer Directory by hand, each submission flows into Square as a customer record, an invoice, or an order, ready for your point-of-sale and payments workflow.
The connection runs through the published formformform Zapier integration. formformform fires a real-time "New Submission" trigger the instant someone completes your form, and Zapier passes those field values to a Square action you choose. You map your form fields once, name, email, phone, amount, item, to the matching Square fields, and every future submission lands correctly.
This is a one-directional flow built for sellers: a new form submission creates records in Square. It's the fastest way to connect Square to forms without writing code, juggling API credentials, or maintaining a custom integration.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Square integration free?+
formformform's Zapier integration is free to connect. You'll need a Zapier account and a Square account; both offer free tiers, though running Zaps at higher volumes may require a paid Zapier plan. There's no extra charge from formformform to send submissions to Square.
Does it work in real time?+
Yes. formformform uses a real-time "New Submission" trigger that fires the moment someone completes your form. Zapier then passes the data to Square within seconds, so customers, invoices, and orders appear in your Square account almost immediately rather than on a delayed polling schedule.
Can I map specific form fields to Square fields?+
Yes. When you set up the Square action in Zapier, you map each form field to a specific Square field, email, given name, family name, phone number, invoice amount, or line items. You configure the mapping once and every submission follows it automatically.
Do I need to write any code?+
No. The connection runs entirely through the published formformform Zapier integration and Square's Zapier actions. You build the Zap in a visual editor, pick your trigger and action, map fields, and turn it on. No API keys, scripts, or developer work are needed.
Can a form submission charge a customer automatically?+
Not directly. formformform sends submission data to Square, where it can create a customer, a draft invoice, or an order. To collect payment, you send the Square invoice or ring up the order through your normal Square flow. The integration handles record creation, not the act of charging a card.
Can one form trigger more than one thing in Square?+
Yes. A single submission can drive multiple Square actions in the same Zap, for example create the customer, then add them to a group, then draft an invoice. The flow is always one direction: a new form submission triggers actions in Square.
