What It Does

This workflow automatically connects to the Square API and generates a daily sales summary report for all your Square locations. The report matches the figures displayed in Square Dashboard > Reports > Sales Summary.

It's designed to run daily and pull the previous day's sales into a Google Sheet for easy analysis and reporting.

This workflow builds on my previous template, which allows users to automatically pull data from the Square API into N8N for processing. (See here: https://n8n.io/workflows/6358)

Prerequisites

To use this workflow, you'll need:

• A Square API credential (configured as a Header Auth credential)
• A Google Sheets credential

How to Set Up Square Credentials:

• Go to Credentials > Create New
• Choose Header Auth
• Set the Name to "Authorization"
• Set the Value to your Square Access Token (e.g., Bearer <your-api-key>)

How It Works

• Trigger – The workflow runs daily at 4:00 AM
• Fetch Locations – An HTTP request retrieves all Square locations linked to your account
• Fetch Orders – For each location, an HTTP request pulls completed orders for the specified report_date
• Filter Empty Locations – Locations with no sales are ignored
• Aggregate Sales Data – A Code node processes the order data and produces a summary identical to Square’s Sales Summary report
• Append to Google Sheets – The data will automatically be appended to an existing Google sheet

Example Use Cases

• Automatically store daily sales data in Google Sheets for analysis and historical tracking
• Automatically create charts or visualizations from the imported data
• Build weekly/monthly reports after running for multiple days
• Quickly calculate commissions or rent payments based on sales volume

How to Use

• Configure both HTTP Request nodes to use your Square API credential
• Set the workflow to Active so it runs automatically
• Select the Google Sheet you want to import data into, and map the data to your columns

Customization Options

• Add pagination to handle locations with more than 1,000 orders per day
• Expand the workflow to save or send the report output via other integrations (email, database, webhook, etc.)

Why It's Useful

This workflow saves time, reduces manual report pulling from Square, and enables smarter automation around sales data—whether for operations, finance, or performance monitoring.
