Square Tableau FAQ

Common questions about integrating Square with Tableau Desktop, Server, Prep, and Cloud.

Tableau and Square integration doesn't have to be difficult. The Square Tableau Connector enables real-time Square connectivity, eliminating the need for complex data movement or ETL processes.

How It Works

  • Install the Tableau Square connector and open Tableau.
  • Access live data, run SQL queries, and build dynamic dashboards.
  • Publish reports to Tableau Server for seamless sharing.

That's all there is to it. With secure, high-performance Tableau Square integration, CData simplifies Square bi, analytics and reporting.

Getting Started

Tableau Cloud does not support the deployment of custom connectors. As a result, deploying reports that connect Square and Tableau cloud is not possible with the CData Tableau connector for Square.

Instead, Square Tableau cloud connectivity is possible through CData Connect Cloud. Connect Cloud is a SaaS platform that provides real-time access to all your cloud data from Tableau Desktop or Tableau Cloud. No coding, installation, or special skills required.

All of the CData Tableau Connectors for Square integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau Square download can be found alongside other supported Tableau Square integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.

Unlike a Tableau Square driver, CData offers a native Tableau Square connector for a seamless and optimized experience. Tableau drivers typically rely on an ODBC or JDBC layer, requiring separate tableau add ins, installation and configuration. A Square Tableau driver delivered this way can introduce latency due to external driver dependencies. In contrast, CData connectors provide native Tableau analytics connectivity, delivering optimized performance through direct integration.
