2.  Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select **Square** and click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name and connection API name.

    Learn more about Square APIs in their [documentation](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/devtools/api-explorer).

6.  For Authentication Details, select a **Named Credential** from the dropdown.
