Square Release Notes

Introducing the next generation of Square Register, the powerful countertop point-of-sale system with two responsive touchscreens. A faster, more powerful processor supports complex operations during peak hours. An upgraded antenna delivers more reliable connectivity. And a new, durable design is built to stand up to splashes and dust.

Save time with bulk editing in your Dashboard. Update multiple menu items simultaneously instead of changing them one by one.

Easily manage item availability from POS or Dashboard — mark items sold out, set stock counts, or toggle inventory tracking with just a few taps.

Stock Overview

Simplify inventory management with the new Stock Overview page on Square Dashboard. See real-time stock and edit quantities instantly — all from your POS or computer.

Scan the QR code printed on mailed Square Cards to activate them immediately without entering the expiration date or CVC. This reduces activation errors and support requests, so you get the card ready to use faster and with less friction. Faster activation means quicker access to funds and fewer interruptions to daily operations.

Update pickup times for online ordering so that scheduled orders reflect when they’ll actually be ready. This helps your team manage delays, customer requests, and busy periods without missed pickups or crowding at the counter.

Require breaks based on shift length or consecutive hours and get alerts when breaks aren’t taken. This gives you clear visibility into how policies are followed so you can support your team’s wellbeing, reduce compliance risk, and keep accurate time records.

Track item counts, turn inventory tracking on or off, and reset availability each day directly from Square Point of Sale. The updated flow helps you stay on top of availability so your team is always ready for service. Long press an item tile on your menu to get started.

Automatically add a surcharge to credit card payments so you can recover processing costs without raising shelf prices. The fee appears at checkout and on receipts to reduce confusion and disputes. This helps you protect margins while staying competitive.
