Call Back URL Response

The call back URL is the required URL that the Square POS app returns to after a payment has been successful or an error has occurred.

The response URL includes parameters and It is usually defined as a confirmation page or backend workflow/api endpoint within your Bubble.io app. Multiple call back URLs can be added to the Square Developer Dashboard in the Point of Sale API section.

Example call back URL: https://interwebbplugins.bubbleapps.io/version-test/confirmation-page

Example call back URL response: https://interwebbplugins.bubbleapps.io/version-test/confirmation-page?data=%7B%22error_code%22:payment_cancelled%22

By using the 'Get data from page URL' option within your workflows, you have the ability to utilise the URL parameters from your call back URL response to update data or trigger workflows within your Bubble app.

The full list of response parameters available can be found in the Square developer documentation: https://developer.squareup.com/docs/pos-api/web-technical-reference
