Hi,

Since the last message, we have more than 65 payment methods in our TODO list.
[ www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/880787-square.html](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/880787-square.html)
And as you could see in the changelog, we did not release a lot of payment plugins in the past releases (2 plugins)
[ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ashop-changelog.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/56-hikashop-changelog.html)
Like Xavier wrote, we have a lot of plugins in our list and we can't implement them all and we have plugins with an higher priority than square.
For example, for me, I put an higher priority on adaptive payment plugin which are compatible with HikaMarket multi-vendor. And the rest of the HikaShop team will put an higher priority on plugins which are very popular or asked by a lot of customers.
That's mostly why Xavier recommend in the other thread to contact an HikaShop partner to accelerate the implementation.

Regards,

Jerome,

Any movement on a Square payment plugin? I now have two clients and one prospect that use Square. They are not interested in going with another payment processor.

Quick question on the topic of payment plugins. For payment methods that have been moved to GitHub and are no longer being included in the HikaShop package, will the HikaShop team still be supporting them and keeping them current? Or are they being moved to GitHub so the code is available to the public, but they won't be maintained from that point on, officially?

Want to be sure we understand the future and support status of any plugins removed from the install package. ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)")

Jerome,

I understand the limited time for expanding payment solutions but want to offer this tidbit about Square as it is exploding worldwide. They are now processing over $10b quarterly and is projected to exceed $100b annually in less than two years. This is no small processor and their focus is small businesses. I live in a town of about 5k and we already have 6 businesses that are using square including 2 of my clients that want to use it for eCommerce. Three of those were previously using PayPal. That is what is happening in one small town in Alabama, USA.

Food for thought.

Luke

Hi,

They are still maintained, for now at least. Of course, we accept patches from anyone (if the patches are correct of course).

I'll put my hand up for inclusion of Square too. I really don't want to have to move to Woocommerce.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.
If you really need such plugin in the short term, note that you can have it developed by any PHP developer. We provide a developer documentation for them to be able to developer such plugin:
