Why Connect Deputy to Square?

No single source of truth when employees live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Guest booking data in Deputy and operations scheduling in Square require manual coordination

Square adds complexity: account holds and fund freezes have been reported, particularly for new accounts or businesses with high transaction volumes or unusual patterns

Manually copying data between Deputy and Square wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Deputy limitations compound the integration challenge: integration with accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB works well, but real-time sync can occasionally lag behind by several hours

Employee records must be updated separately in Deputy and Square, causing payroll discrepancies when changes are missed
