Square Release Notes

You can now control which sales channels display each modifier set from Square Dashboard.

When editing a modifier set, select the channels where it should appear, such as POS, Square Online, or third-party delivery platforms.

This lets you show different modifier options depending on the ordering channel.

Automatic Card Surcharging (ACS) now works with pre-authorized card payments, including bar tabs. When a customer's credit card is pre-authorized to open a tab, the surcharge is calculated and applied when the final payment is captured at tab close. Previously, ACS did not apply surcharges to pre-authorized payment flows.

Starting March 16, bitcoin is automatically enabled as a payment method for new Square sellers. Payments settle in USD by default. Bitcoin payment acceptance, conversion settings, and a marketing kit are available in Business Hub onboarding. Sellers based in New York are excluded at this time.

The pricing configuration interface now displays consistently across all supported regions, including the US and Australia. Previously, the UI varied depending on location, which could cause confusion when managing pricing settings.

You can now change the assigned team member on a closed order. This allows you to correct team member attribution after an order is completed, ensuring accurate tip and commission records.

Offline payments are now turned on by default, allowing your Square Point of Sale to accept card payments during network or Square outages.

You can adjust offline payment settings or disable the feature from your POS device settings.

Offline transactions are processed once connectivity is restored, and declined transactions remain the seller’s responsibility.

Passkeys are now enabled by default for signing in to your Square account on the web.

When you sign in from a supported device, you can authenticate using biometrics like Touch ID or Face ID instead of entering a password and two-factor code.

Passkey enrollment is offered automatically during sign-in.

Square Point of Sale now supports price-embedded barcodes (UPC-A and EAN formats) when using RST modes. Scanning a barcode printed by a deli or label-printing scale automatically adds the item with its encoded weight and price to the checkout, with no manual entry required.

Square Point of Sale now supports time-based menus for Food & Beverage sellers.

When you assign time schedules to menus (breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour), POS automatically displays the correct menu for the current time period.

Menus outside their scheduled hours show "Not available until [time]" and require a manager passcode override to access.

The item detail screen now uses a consistent layout across Standard, Booking, and Services modes on Square Point of Sale.

The updated view applies to all platforms (iOS, Android, and Square Register).

Set up the new and improved offline payments on your device to keep your business running during service disruptions.

Get a complete picture of your daily performance with our new sales summary email. Enhanced metrics, trend comparisons, and actionable insights help you optimize operations for the next day.

An enhanced Sales Summary that tracks all your sales (including delayed payments), lets you examine individual transactions in detail, and provides comprehensive insights into your gross sales, net revenue, returns, discounts, and more.

Open orders now receive automatic ticket numbers across all surfaces, including Square Point of Sale and Kitchen Display System. Ticket numbers are assigned at order creation, making it easier to track and call out orders in drive-thru and counter service workflows.

You can now duplicate an existing menu to create a copy with the same items, categories, and configuration.

Select any menu and choose the duplicate option to get started.
