How to Switch Your Square Integration to a Different SeaText Account

Yes, you can move your Square integration from one SeaText account to another. The process involves disconnecting Square from your current SeaText account and then connecting it to the new one. After the switch, you will need to reconfigure some settings, such as which Square locations are linked and which AI agents are active on those pages.
Why You Might Want to Switch Accounts
There are a few common reasons to move a Square integration to a different SeaText account:
- Business separation: You have two distinct businesses (e.g., a retail store and a consulting service) and want to keep their data, billing, and AI settings completely separate.
- Account consolidation: You accidentally created two SeaText accounts and want to bring all integrations under one login.
- Team or ownership change: A new team member or agency takes over management of your website and needs the integration on their own SeaText account.
- Testing or staging: You used a development account to test Square and now want to move the live integration to your production account.
What Happens When You Switch
When you disconnect Square from your current SeaText account, the integration stops sending data to that account. Your Square account itself is not affected — payments, customers, and inventory remain unchanged in Square. After you reconnect Square to the new SeaText account, the integration will start fresh. You will need to:
- Re-authorize the connection via Square’s OAuth flow.
- Select which Square locations to link (if you have multiple).
- Activate the AI agents (e.g., Conversion Agent, Google Ads Agent) on the pages that use Square data.
- Reconfigure any custom settings, such as which product fields to sync or which triggers to use for AI actions.
Step-by-Step: How to Switch Square to a Different SeaText Account
Step 1: Disconnect Square from the Current SeaText Account
- Log in to your current SeaText account.
- Go to the Integrations section in the dashboard.
- Find the Square integration and click Disconnect or Remove.
- Confirm the disconnection. This will stop the data flow from Square to this account.
Step 2: Log In to the New SeaText Account
- Log out of the current account.
- Log in to the SeaText account where you want to move the integration. If you do not have one yet, create a new account.
Step 3: Connect Square to the New Account
- In the new account, navigate to the Integrations section.
- Select Square from the list of available integrations.
- Click Connect or Authorize. You will be redirected to Square to log in and grant permission.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the OAuth authorization. Make sure you grant the necessary permissions for SeaText to access your Square data.
Step 4: Configure the Integration
- After authorization, you will return to SeaText. Select which Square locations you want to link (if you have multiple).
- Set up any location-specific settings, such as which products or orders to sync.
- Activate the AI agents you need for those pages. For example, if you use the Google Ads Agent, you will need to configure it to rewrite landing pages based on Square product data.
- Test the integration by visiting your website and checking that Square data (e.g., product prices, inventory status) appears correctly.
Step 5: Verify and Monitor
- Wait at least 5 minutes after activation. Refresh your website and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds to ensure the AI activates and links to your account.
- Check the SeaText dashboard to confirm your website name appears next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page. If it does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support.
- Monitor the integration for a few days to ensure data syncs correctly and AI agents work as expected.

Limitations and When This Advice Does Not Apply
This process works for standard Square integrations with SeaText. However, there are some cases where the advice may differ:
- Multiple Square accounts: If you have more than one Square account (e.g., for different businesses), you will need to repeat the process for each one. Each Square account can only be linked to one SeaText account at a time.
- Custom development: If you have custom code that directly interacts with the Square API alongside SeaText, you may need to update that code to point to the new SeaText account.
- Enterprise or custom plans: If you are on a custom SeaText plan, check with your account manager before switching, as there may be specific setup requirements.
- Data history: Historical data from the previous integration (e.g., past AI agent performance reports) will remain in the old SeaText account. It will not transfer to the new account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my Square data when I disconnect?
No. Disconnecting Square from SeaText only stops the data flow between the two services. Your Square account, transactions, customers, and inventory remain unchanged in Square.
Can I have Square connected to two SeaText accounts at the same time?
No. Each Square account can only be authorized with one SeaText account at a time. To switch, you must disconnect from the first account before connecting to the second.
How long does the switch take?
The disconnection and reconnection process takes about 5–10 minutes. After reconnecting, allow up to 5 minutes for the AI to activate on your website, and up to 10 minutes for your website name to appear in the SeaText dashboard.
Do I need to reinstall the SeaText script on my website?
No. The SeaText JavaScript code on your website remains the same. You only need to update the integration settings in the SeaText dashboard.
What if I forget to disconnect Square from the old account first?
If you try to connect Square to a new SeaText account while it is still connected to the old one, the authorization will fail. You must disconnect from the old account first.
Will my AI agents still work after the switch?
They will work, but you will need to reactivate and reconfigure them for the new account. The old account’s settings will not carry over.
Can I switch back to the original account later?
Yes. You can repeat the same process to move the integration back to the original account at any time.
