Square Release Notes

A full combo is built and reviewed in one place in Real-Time Check View.

Staff move directly to a combo member that still needs an option chosen, or back to one that's already set, and each selection lands on the check as it's made.

Combo building uses the same navigation and layout as the rest of Real-Time Check View.

Real-Time Check View is on by default for sellers who use combos, with no setup required.

When a customer pays a larger invoice with a card that's new to a seller's account, checkout can include a step where the customer confirms their identity with their bank. Verification uses 3D Secure, the card networks' standard for authenticating a cardholder during a payment. On a verified payment, liability for a fraud-related dispute sits with the card issuer rather than the seller. Sellers review or turn off the setting in Square Invoices settings in Square Dashboard.

The report window starts at the reporting day start set for the location and ends when the close-out begins. Sales and tips taken inside that window appear on the report, whether or not they fall within posted business hours. The report header prints the covered time range, and locations without a reporting day use the business-hours window.

In the Square Dashboard Item Library, shared item details like name, description, and category are read-only for team members assigned to only some of an item's locations.

Availability, location price, and sales channel assignment stay editable at the locations a team member is assigned to. Team members see an item's complete location information either way.

Square Multi-Account Suite helps businesses stay in control as they scale. Operator teams manage linked Square accounts from Square Dashboard, including shared catalogs, menus, point-of-sale layouts, organization permissions, and a single gift card program. Organization-level reports cover sales performance, gift card reconciliation, and royalties by member account and location. Setup runs through a Square account manager or sales.

A tip goes unattributed when a sale is taken on a shared team passcode, with no personal passcode signed in, or by a team member who isn't tip eligible. Square splits those tips equally across every team member clocked in for that workday. Pooling is on by default for sellers new to Square and can be turned on under Staff > Tips settings in Dashboard.

A transaction's tip divides among the team members who worked that sale. Sellers choose the calculation period in Square Dashboard under Staff, then Tips settings, alongside the existing workday and workweek options.

Sellers pick the unit a delivery arrives in from the quantity field in the Stock Adjustment window. Square converts that amount into the unit the item is counted in, so a case received still shows the right number of single units on hand. Available on Dashboard for sellers using Square for inventory.

Printer setup offers the profiles that already work with a connected printer, and creates a new profile only when there's nothing suitable to reuse.

Creating a profile, choosing job types, and picking which Square Point of Sale devices print to a printer all happen on the printer's details screen.

Each assigned profile row lists that profile's devices and job types.

The camera reads a barcode and either adds the item to the cart or fills in its details when creating or editing an item. In Square Point of Sale, sellers turn on Camera Barcode Scanner in hardware settings, then tap Tap to Scan on a supported screen. No separate scanner is required.

Square Savings accounts earn 1.00% APY on total savings balances. Accounts with a total savings balance of $10,000 or more qualify for a 4.25% APY.* Both rates apply to the total savings balance, inclusive of all folders and accrued unpaid interest.

Business information including hours, logo, and contact details stays in sync across Apple Maps, Siri, Wallet, and more. Connected sellers manage supported place card features in Square Dashboard under Channels, including action links that send customers to ordering, menu, or booking. Available globally to payments-activated sellers with a fixed, physical location or storefront.

A revenue center represents one part of a business, such as a bar, patio, or delivery channel.

Sellers map devices, floor plan sections, and channels to each one, then group the Sales summary report by revenue center to see how each performed.

The Square for Retail app follows the device's system appearance setting, so it appears dark whenever the device is set to dark. A dark mode override keeps the app dark or light independent of the device setting.

Items appear on a Kitchen Display System ticket as staff ring them into the cart in Point of Sale. The ticket is marked as a draft and updates with each item added. Draft tickets require the setting to be turned on in both Point of Sale and the Kitchen Display System.
