# Process Square orders

Use this guide to check a Square order after the store and menu are already connected.

## The order process, step by step

Confirm the mapped store and menu, then place an approved test order. Find it in the intended order workflow and compare its items, modifiers, and totals with the record in Square. Follow its actual status through the business’s fulfillment process.

## How the integration behaves

The POS setup and menu sync prepare the integration. Check the individual order to confirm that it reached Square and moved through the intended statuses.

## Best practices

Use the correct test store and record the order identifiers without sharing customer or payment details.

## Tips for reliability

If an order is missing, check the store mapping, connection state, and provider status. Use [Configure POS & Menu Sync](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/connect/configure-pos-menu-sync/) to review setup or menu actions separately.
