Square Online install guide

Add Velo
to Square.

Install the Velo cookie banner and Google Consent Mode v2 on Square Online with one line in the tracking tools panel. Most installs take a few minutes when you already have admin access to the site. If you run Google Tag Manager, that route is on this page too.

    Publish and check the live site

    Save and publish the change using the platform steps above, then clear any site or CDN cache. Open the published URL in a fresh browser session. Check the banner where your region rules require it, test accepting and rejecting, and verify consent defaults and updates before your measurement tags run. Confirm the site appears as installed in your Velo dashboard.

One thing to watch

Square’s hosted checkout is separate from your storefront. Adding head code here does not prove consent is shared with checkout; test each surface and its supported integrations separately.

Easiest if you use Tag Manager

Use Tag Manager?
Skip the code.

If Google Tag Manager is already on your site, this is the easiest way to add Velo. There’s no code to touch, it takes four short steps, and all your tags stay in one place.

  1. 01

    Add Velo to Tag Manager

    Open the Velo template, click Add to workspace, then pick your container.

    Open the Velo template ↗
  2. 02

    Paste your site ID

    In Tag Manager, open Tags and click New. Click Tag Configuration, choose Velo CMP and paste your site ID. You’ll find it in your Velo dashboard. Leave everything else as it is.

  3. 03

    Make it load first

    Click Triggering, choose Consent Initialization – All Pages, then click Save. This lets Velo start before your other tags.

  4. 04

    Publish and check it

    Click Submit, then Publish. Preview alone doesn’t put Velo live. Then open your site in a private window, try the banner, and check that it shows as installed in your Velo dashboard.

The complete Tag Manager guide Covers testing in Preview and the optional settings. No Tag Manager on this site yet? Use the steps above.

Square Online questions,
answered.

What teams installing on Square Online ask first.

Which Square Online plan do I need?

Square’s current tracking-code documentation lists Free, Plus and Premium plans. You also need permission to edit the website.

What about Square’s hosted checkout?

Square’s hosted checkout is separate from the storefront. A storefront head snippet does not automatically install Velo in checkout or prove that consent is synchronized there.

I already show another cookie banner.

Remove it before publishing Velo. Two banners confuse visitors, and two consent tools writing Consent Mode defaults send Google conflicting signals. One layer, one source of truth.

Will it slow the site down?

The dashboard snippet loads asynchronously. As with any script, measure its effect on your site and check your tag order; asynchronous loading alone does not guarantee consent defaults run before other tags.

Can an AI assistant do this for me?

Yes. Copy the prompt in Install with agents, just below, into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or whichever assistant you already use. It carries the steps on this page, the order the tags have to load in, and the checks the agent has to run before it tells you the job is done.

Or hand it
to an agent.

Copy the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or whichever assistant you already use. It carries everything on this page: both routes, the order the tags have to load in, and the checks that prove it worked.

The prompt

Paste this prompt into your assistant, then provide your site ID and the complete installation snippet or GTM settings from your Velo dashboard.

Install prompt · Square Online
Install Velo on Square Online. Current guide: https://veloconsent.com/square Before editing, get my site ID and complete installation snippet or GTM settings from the Velo dashboard. Confirm which consent tool and measurement tags already run on the site. Choose one installation route: A. If the site already uses Google Tag Manager, add the Velo CMP template (published by ampliodata) from the Community Template Gallery. Set my site ID, theme and API endpoint from the dashboard. Review the advanced options; both default to off. Use Consent Initialization – All Pages, then Preview and verify consent before publishing. Full steps: https://veloconsent.com/google-tag-manager B. For direct installation: In Square Dashboard, open Channels → Square Online → Settings → Tracking Tools → Add new code. Name the entry Velo, paste the complete snippet, select head and save. Publish the site from the editor. Square’s documentation lists Free, Plus and Premium support. Preserve unrelated code. Avoid duplicate Velo installs or competing consent defaults. Do not assume a head placement or async loading alone guarantees tag order. Check the published site in a fresh session. Verify the banner under the configured region rules, initial consent defaults, accept/reject updates and the velo_consent_update event. Check that non-Google tags follow their assigned categories. Test a second page and any separate checkout surface. Confirm signals reach the Velo dashboard. Report what changed, where it changed and the result of each check. Describe any missing access or checks you could not complete.
