Background
I have a Magento 2.3 installation on SiteGround. Due to SiteGround's policies on Shared accounts, they do not allow use of crontab. They require cron jobs to be manually entered in their cPanel.
Objective
I am trying to install a Square Payments extension. I linked up my access keys to the Magento Marketplace, and went to the Web Setup Wizard --> Module Manager to enable it.
Error
After enabling it, I encounter an error during the readiness check.
Check Cron Scripts
Cron script readiness check failed. Hide detail
Error from Updater Application Cron Script:
Cron job has not been configured yet
For additional assistance, see cron scripts help.
Understanding that SiteGround does not allow cron scripts to work properly through crontab, I manually went through the code of the Square extension to find what cron scripts it needed to run (<app>/etc/crontab.xml). See code below.

<job name="hanging" instance="Squareup\Omni\Cron\Hanging" method="execute">
<schedule>*/15 * * * *</schedule>
</job>
</group>
</config>So I went into cPanel to manually enter the required jobs.
However, I still encounter the cron readiness error. I know that I have solved the problem, but the web setup wizard will not allow me to continue with the installation.
Hypothesis
If I can find a way to skip the readiness check, I think the extension would work just fine. Is there a way to bypass the readiness check?
Any help is much appreciated. This is one of my first times working in-depth with Magento.
