Cannot add Square Bank Account

Thank you for providing details about your concern, @alqnomab.

Currently, the integration between QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) with Square is unavailable. However, you can still import your transactions from Square to QBSE. You have to export the transactions from your bank using .CSV file and then import them into QBSE using your device.

Once, you have a .CSV file, you're now ready to import to QBSE. Please follow the steps below.

1. Open QuickBooks Self-Employed in a web browser.
2. Select Settings .
3. Click Imports.
4. Choose the account you want to add the transactions into.
5. Hit Browse and find the file you downloaded from your bank. It's usually in your Downloads folder.
6. Pick the file and select Open to start the import.
7. Review the column headers and data. Make sure the Date, Description, and Amount columns on the CSV match the columns and order in QuickBooks. The other column headers can be in any order.
8. Tap Continue to complete the import.

When finished, you have to review and categorize your transactions to put them in your accounts.

If you have any other concerns regarding QuickBooks, feel free to leave a reply below. I'm always here and happy to help you out. Have a great day ahead!

Thank you for your quick reply. The biggest reason I would like to add my Square acct is to keep them separate from other accts. (Capital One, Wells Fargo) When you say "choose the account to add the transactions to" can I set up another account manually? I do not see where I can do that other than the automatic search for a bank account.  This would be great because importing a CSV is easy to do.... just need my own place to put it.

Thoughts?

Hi there! I'm facing the same issue when trying to add my Square Account to Quickbooks Self Employed. I've attempted it multiple times using different browsers, including private and incognito modes. Interestingly, Square shows up in the list when searching to add the bank, but after the process, it says 0 accounts updated. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to resolve it? Thanks in advance!
