Cin7 + Square Integration
Sell In Person, Stay in Control Behind the Scenes
You've built a great in-person experience with Square. Now imagine your inventory automatically keeping up with every swipe, tap, and sale. Cin7 connects with Square so your stock levels, orders, and product data stay accurate across every channel, whether you're selling at a market stall, a retail storefront, or a pop-up event.
No more end-of-day manual counts. No more "I thought we had more of those." Just clean, connected data flowing between your point of sale and your inventory management.
Real-time inventory sync across Square and all your other channels: Sell something in store and watch your stock update everywhere, instantly.
Centralized product and order management: Manage everything from one place instead of juggling multiple dashboards.

Built to grow with you: Whether you're running one location or ten, Cin7 scales right alongside your business.
How the integration works
Seamlessly Connect Square with Cin7
Getting Cin7 and Square connected is straightforward. Plus, once it's set up, the whole thing runs in the background so you don't have to think about it.
Here's the short version of how it all fits together:
- Your Square sales flow into Cin7 automatically. Every transaction updates your inventory in real time, so your stock counts are always accurate.
- Products sync from Cin7 to Square. Manage your catalog in Cin7 and push updates to Square without duplicating effort.
- Purchase orders and replenishment happen in Cin7. When stock arrives, it updates across all your connected channels including Square.
- Reporting lives in one place. Cin7 consolidates your sales and inventory data so you can see the full picture without stitching together reports from multiple platforms.
The result? Less time managing systems, more time running your business.
Square Is Great at Selling. Cin7 Makes Sure the Rest Keeps Up.
Square has earned its reputation as one of the most intuitive point-of-sale platforms out there. It's fast, flexible, and genuinely easy to use. But here's the thing: Square is built to help you sell. It's not built to manage the complex inventory, purchasing, and fulfillment operations that grow up around a successful product business.
That's where Cin7 comes in. As your inventory management software (IMS), Cin7 sits behind the scenes and handles everything Square doesn't. It provides multi-location stock tracking, purchase orders, supplier management, demand forecasting, and deep reporting. When you connect the two, you get the best of both worlds: a seamless selling experience at the counter and a powerful operations engine running underneath it all.
Together, Cin7 and Square give product-based retailers, wholesalers, and multi-channel sellers the visibility and control they need to grow without the growing pains.
Square integration use cases
What You Can Do When Cin7 and Square Work Together
From daily retail operations to scaling a multi-location business, Cin7 and Square cover the full picture so nothing slips through the cracks.
Real-Time Inventory Sync
Always Know What's in Stock
Every Square sale triggers an automatic inventory update in Cin7. That means your stock levels are accurate across every channel, in-store, online, and everywhere in between, without anyone lifting a finger.
Centralized Product Management
One Place to Manage Every SKU
Add a product in Cin7 and push it straight to Square. Update a price, change a description, or adjust a variant and it flows through automatically. You're managing your catalog once, not twice (or three or four times).
Multi-Location Stock Control
Running More Than One Location? No Problem.
Cin7 tracks inventory across multiple warehouses, stores, and fulfillment locations. When a Square sale happens at any one of them, your stock counts update accordingly. You'll always know which location has what.

Stop Running Out Before You Notice
Cin7 monitors stock levels and automates reordering. Create purchase orders, track incoming stock, and receive inventory all in one place, with updates pushed to Square automatically when a new shipment arrives.
