  title: Block Square Returning Customer Checkout
  summary: Find an existing customer or create one, then place and pay for their order.
  description: >-
    A get-or-create customer checkout. The workflow lists customers and branches:
    when a customer already exists it reuses that profile, and when none is found
    it creates a new one. Either way it then opens an order at the location and
    captures payment. Each step inlines its bearer token and request body,
    including the idempotency keys Square requires on writes.
