In order to get started with Square payment gateway, you first need to signup for an account with Square.

Once you have signed up for a Square account, head to GetPaid > Settings > Payment Gateways > Square.

Input your App ID, Access Token and Location ID.  You can get this information from the Square Dashboard section.
