Bank Feeds - Square bank feed integration
Please please please Xero can you work on a proper Square bank feed integration so we don't have to keep using Amaka or other 3rd party connection apps!!!
Why can't we connect Square as a bank account with a feed similar to Stripe?!?! We are in 2024, square has been around for 15years!!
I have so many issues with Square! And it is one of the most widely used payment processors!
A recent example -
A client has a coffee van and uses it to take payments for cups of coffee. I had to setup the Amaka integration so that the sales come through as a daily sales invoice, then the fees come through as an expense. These come through as reconciled. Then the transfer comes into the bank account, we allocate it to the Square account and always have to go in and manually mark as reconciled in Square. This is not a huge drama, but now that I have talked the client into doing his invoicing out of Xero instead of square (he invoices businesses who book him for events) the invoices may be paid via Square and this doesn't convert to the Square Balance account automatically! The client has had to go in and manually mark them as paid. Did so to the bank account instead of the Square Balance account so i have had to undo them, and redo. I then need to apply a credit in the square balance account otherwise the sales are doubled up from the daily sales invoice from that day!
Amaka is also a horrible add on. it use to be ok, but i have also had heaps of issues with the GST not coming through correctly and on a couple of clients who aren't even GST registered, i had it all set as BAS Excluded in the settings, then something changed and all of a sudden the sales were coming in as BAS excluded but still had GST added to the bottom of the invoice. So it wasn't as simple as just recoding them!
Long story short... GET A SQUARE BANKFEED!!!! (LIKE STRIPE)

I have a client who I'm wanting to switch from FreshBooks to Xero because the Square feed coming through 3rd party Income Importer doesn't work properly.
Now after reading this, I suspect I will end up losing this client because she doesn't want to use QBO (she wants to go back to QBD, which I no longer work in) and wants to make sure that she won't have the same SQUARE issues in Xero.

It's asinine that this still hasn't been addressed. If they had integrated bank feed info through Plaid, we wouldn't be having this issue!
