Square is a commerce and payments platform for commerce and finance teams, organized around payments, orders, customers, catalog, and invoices. The vendor documentation defines the resource model and required permissions. Treat the transaction or approval as the review surface, and preserve the audit trail rather than hiding it behind automation. Use the Beam catalogue entry as a starting point, then confirm connector actions and event coverage before rollout
What the source documentation says: Square
The vendor's documentation describes Square through payments, orders, customers, catalog, and invoices. That makes it possible to frame a precise workflow, but not to assume every operation is exposed through the Beam connector. For Square, order, payment, customer, and invoice records each carry different operational and financial responsibilities
A controlled workflow design
A controlled workflow separates product facts from Beam configuration. Confirm the payment event, the fields needed for a decision, and the owner of the result. Route missing data or uncertain permissions to review instead of guessing
Questions to test first
Map a payment record is created, updated, or ready for review to one named decision. Then verify that the connector can supply the relevant payment context and that Beam has an approved place to return the result.
Use a separate test for payments and orders that need escalation. The purpose is to make the handoff legible, not to remove human judgment from it.
Operational value
A clear relationship between the product event and the next owner.
A more defensible audit trail for approved decisions.
A safer way to expand only after connector scope has been proven.
Before you build
Check the connector's available read, write, search, notification, and event operations for your Beam workspace. Confirm the vendor authentication method, required scopes, plan limits, and any approval requirements. Treat the two workflow patterns above as designs to validate, not promises of universal coverage.
