Your Item Library syncs with read-only access, and from then on a new item can become an AI-written, AI-photographed post for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and six more networks. It works for Square Online and in-person sellers alike. Here is how to set it up and the two workflows worth turning on first. ## Quick Answer **In Autoadify, open Accounts → Integrations → Square and click Connect. Sign in to Square and approve read-only access to your Item Library; your items sync straight away. Then turn on a workflow: a New Square product workflow posts every item you add, and a Random product workflow keeps your catalog rotating on a schedule. Both write captions per network with your choice of 90+ AI models, can restyle the item photo with AI, and publish to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Threads, YouTube, Bluesky and Reddit. It works whether you sell on Square Online, at a counter, or both.** ## Autoadify for Square at a Glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | What it connects to | Your Square Item Library, the same catalog behind Square Online and Square Point of Sale | | How it connects | Your Square sign-in (OAuth).

Getting it in front of people is a separate job. Download the photo, write an Instagram caption, shorten it for X, make a vertical version for TikTok, find hashtags, schedule each one. A café adding a seasonal drink, a boutique getting a new delivery or a bakery with a weekend special does that by hand every time, or more often doesn't. Autoadify takes over that second job: launch posts for new items, and a steady rotation of the items you already sell. ## How It Works ### 1\. You add an item in Square Nothing changes about how you run your business. Add the item in your Square Dashboard or app as usual, with its photo and price. ### 2\. Autoadify picks it up Square notifies Autoadify when your catalog changes. Autoadify checks what is new, adds it to your synced catalog, and if you have a New Square product workflow switched on, the workflow starts. ### 3\. Your plain photo becomes a lifestyle shot A workflow step, or a request in AI Studio, can edit the item photo into a new scene while keeping the item itself unchanged. Write the prompt as what to change (the setting, the light) and what to keep (the item, its colour, its label). ### 4\. A post for every channel, and you approve Each network gets its own caption: shorter for X, a hook for TikTok, more detail for Facebook, with hashtags suited to each. Workflows can publish on their own or save drafts for you to approve first. The AI Manager always waits for approval. ### 5\. On quiet weeks, it picks an item for you The Random product trigger features one item on the schedule you set. Before posting, it checks the item is still in your Square catalog, so anything you've deleted is skipped. ## How to Set It Up ![Square](/images/square.svg)Square ![Instagram](/images/instagram.svg)Instagram ![TikTok](/images/tiktok.svg)TikTok ![Facebook](/images/facebook.svg)Facebook ![Threads](/images/threads.svg)Threads 1. **Connect Square.** In Autoadify, open Accounts → Integrations → Square and click Connect. You're sent to Square to sign in. 2. **Approve read-only access.** Square lists what Autoadify can see: your items, your business profile and your Square Online site. Approve, and Square returns you to Autoadify. 3. **Let the catalog sync.** Items import straight away with their names, descriptions, prices, photos and, if you sell online, their Square Online links. 4. **Connect your social accounts.** Instagram needs a Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page, which is Meta's rule for every publishing tool. 5. **Turn on a workflow.** Start with one of the two below, in draft mode if you want to approve the first few posts. ## Two Workflows to Turn On First ### New item → posts on three networks Trigger: **New Square product**. Steps: write a caption in your brand voice, add hashtags, restyle the item photo, publish to Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Every item you add from now on gets announced without opening a single social app. ### Random product, twice a week Trigger: **Random product**, source Square, every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00. Steps: caption, hashtags, the item's own photo, publish. This is the one that keeps the rest of your menu or shelf in front of people. Both run on credits for the AI steps. Using the item's own photo costs nothing, and some caption models are free, so a rotation can run without spending credits. ## Prompts for the AI Manager For one-off campaigns, ask the AI Manager in plain words. It searches your synced Square catalog, so the items and prices are real: > “Plan a holiday week for our pastries and gift boxes: one post a day on Instagram and TikTok, each with a lifestyle image made from the item photo.” > “Find three items under $15 and write a weekend-specials post for Instagram and Facebook.” It drafts the posts and images and shows you the plan. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it. ## What Autoadify Can and Can't See - **Can:** read your items (names, descriptions, prices, images, Square Online links), your business name and currency, and your Square Online site address. - **Can't:** edit items or prices, take payments, or read orders, customers, payouts or inventory counts. - **Ending access:** disconnecting in Autoadify revokes access on Square's side and deletes the synced item data. You can also remove Autoadify from the connected apps in your Square account. ## FAQ ### Do I need to copy API keys from Square? No. You connect with your Square sign-in, which is how Square grants access to a third-party app. ### I only sell in person. Does it still work? Yes. Square keeps one Item Library for your point of sale and Square Online, and Autoadify reads that. Posts simply go out without a product link if you don't have an online store. ### Will it post items that are sold out? It can. Autoadify doesn't read Square inventory counts, so the Random product workflow checks that an item still exists, not that it is in stock. Remove an item from Square, or pause the workflow, if you don't want it featured. ### Can I connect Square alongside Shopify, WooCommerce or Wix? Yes. On paid plans there is no store limit, and the AI Manager and workflows can use items from any connected store. See the [Shopify](/shopify), [WooCommerce](/woocommerce), [Wix](/wix) and [Square](/square) pages. ## The Bottom Line Square keeps your items; Autoadify keeps them in front of people. Connect it once, turn on a new-item workflow and a twice-weekly rotation, and every item, new or old, keeps showing up across nine networks.
