  title: Block Square New Customer Checkout
  summary: Create a customer, place an order for them, then capture payment for that order.
  description: >-
    The canonical Square commerce flow for a first-time buyer. The workflow
    creates a customer profile, opens an order against a seller location with
    the supplied line items, and then takes a card payment for the order total.
    Every step spells out its request inline — including the per-request bearer
    token and the idempotency keys Square requires on writes — so the flow can
    be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
