Location has not been associated with business error

Why this error is happening and how to fix

1. Identify the error message 0:09

  • If you get this error saying “The location has not been associated with the business. Please complete payments onboarding for this location.”

  • A common issue is that completing onboarding may still loop back to the same message.

  • This indicates the problem is likely not onboarding itself, but the location’s connection status.

 2. Go to Settings and open Locations 0:32

  • From the homepage, open Settings.

  • Scroll down until you find Locations.

  • This is where you can check whether the location is properly linked to the business.

3. Check whether the location is connected 0:42

  • If you see Booking Link and Edit, the location is already connected correctly.

  • If you see a Connect option instead, the location is not yet connected to a business.

  • That missing connection is what prevents payments from being processed.

 

4. Understand why this happens 0:56

  • This can happen during onboarding if you choose to skip assigning the location for now and finish it later.

  • In that case, the location remains unlinked.

  • An unlinked location cannot take payments until it is connected.

5. Connect the location to the business 1:05

  • Click Connect for the affected location.

  • Complete the connection so the location is associated with the business.

  • Once connected, the location should no longer show the onboarding error.

6. Confirm the fix and resume payments 1:14

  • After connecting, the location should now show Booking Link and Edit instead of Connect.

  • This confirms the location is properly linked.

  • You should now be able to process transactions for that location.
