Make sure you have the clearing (Square (required for Synder) account) account selected as a Clearing account in the Sales, Fees and Application fees tabs.
In case you don’t have an account with “Square” in it, the system will auto-create it. Check your Synder settings to make sure you have that account selected as Bank account in Sales, Fees and Application fees.
