Some businesses run more than one Shopify store - a second brand, another country, or a test store next to the live one - but keep a single Square account. unSquared works with all of them, just not at the same time: Square keeps only one unSquared connection per Square account, and the newest one wins.
What happens when the same Square account is connected twice
- On the store you just connected
Everything works as normal. A yellow notice, "unSquared was disconnected from another Shopify store", tells you how many other stores were using this Square account.
- On the store connected before
Square ends its connection, and unSquared disconnects it straight away: pending scheduled migrations are cancelled, and a migration that was running is stopped and marked failed.
- When someone opens the earlier store
Its Connect to Square page shows "Your Square account is now connected to another Shopify store" and explains why.
- Your data
Nothing already migrated into either Shopify store is changed or removed. Nothing changes in Square either - unSquared only ever reads from it.
Moving two Shopify stores from one Square account
- 1Migrate the first store
Connect Square on the first store and run every migration you need there. Let any scheduled migration finish.
- 2Connect the second store
Open unSquared on the second store and click Connect to Square. The first store is disconnected at that moment.
- 3Migrate the second store
Run its migrations. To go back to the first store later, connect Square there again - the second store is then disconnected in the same way.
unSquared warns you before you connect
If the Square account a store used last time is currently connected to another store, its Connect to Square page shows a warning before you click Connect. Connecting a different Square account never affects the other store.
Don't switch stores in the middle of a migration
Connecting the Square account on another store stops anything still running on the first one. Wait for it to finish, then connect the next store.
