How does the integration work?
When you connect your Square account, Live Tap Lists pulls the item information from your Square catalog. Each time you update an item in Square, it is updated in Live Tap Lists automatically. You may wait about 5 seconds for the information to travel from Square to Live Tap Lists, but it is practically instant. There is no polling or manual refreshing needed.
Can I sync custom Square fields?
Yes. Custom Square fields can sync. See how to sync custom Square fields with Live Tap Lists.

Setup
- Connect your Live Tap Lists account to your Square account from the Integrations page.
- Live Tap Lists pulls your Square item catalog. Choose which Square fields sync for each item.
- Add any extra details to new items, then set them to active so they appear on your menus.
How POS syncing works
These behaviors are the same for every Live Tap Lists POS integration.
- Per-field control. For each item you choose which fields sync from your POS. Overriding a field in Live Tap Lists stops that field from syncing.
- New items arrive inactive. New POS items come in as inactive, so nothing appears on a menu by accident.
- Disconnecting keeps your menu. All menu items stay in Live Tap Lists. Reconnecting pulls the full catalog again.
- Need another POS? Request your POS.
Square integration FAQ
What does the Square integration do?
It synchronizes your Square item catalog with Live Tap Lists, so your digital menu boards, print menus, website menus, and QR menus are built from your POS data.
Which fields sync from Square?
Live Tap Lists pulls these fields from Square: item name, images, descriptions, categories, variants, prices, custom Square fields, locations, location availability overrides, and location price overrides.
How long does it take for a Square change to show up?
About 5 seconds. Square pushes changes to Live Tap Lists, so there is no polling or manual refresh.
Can I sync custom Square fields?
Yes. See the help article on syncing custom Square fields with Live Tap Lists at /help/square-custom-fields.
Does the integration support multiple locations?
Live Tap Lists integrates with a single Square location per subscription.
What if I have values in Square that I do not want on my menus?
You can choose which fields sync from Square for each item. For example, if a name in Square is not customer-friendly, you can override it in Live Tap Lists and it will no longer pull from Square.
How do I add a new menu item after I connect?
New items are pulled in automatically when they are created. They arrive as inactive so nothing appears on a menu by accident. Add any extra information in Live Tap Lists, then set the item to active to show it on your menus.
How do I stop getting updates from Square but keep my menu items?
Disconnect from Square on the Integrations page. Your menu items stay in your Live Tap Lists account and you can keep using them freely.
What do I do if I do not see my updates?
First verify that the item and variant you are updating are available at the location you connected. Live Tap Lists integrates with a single location per subscription, so an item that is not available at that location will not send updates. Next, disconnect and reconnect from Square on the Integrations page. Disconnecting does not remove items, so your menus keep working with no interruption. Reconnecting pulls the entire catalog from Square again. If problems persist, email grant@livetaplists.com.
Does Live Tap Lists integrate with other point of sale systems?
Yes. Live Tap Lists also integrates with Clover, Toast, Genius, and GoTab, and is actively building more. You can request your POS at /pos-interest.
