Square Release Notes

When setting up a cycle count, you can select a category to automatically add all items within it. This lets you populate your cycle count without selecting items one by one.

Sellers with accounts deactivated for compliance reasons can submit an appeal directly from the Square Support Portal.

The self-serve appeal flow lets you provide additional information for Square to review your case without needing to contact support.

You can assign custom text colors to modifiers so they stand out on your Kitchen Display System. Colors are configured per modifier from the Modifiers page in the Items section of Square Dashboard.

Ticket numbers automatically reset to #1 before each business day. The reset fires 15 minutes before your configured opening hours, or at 4 AM if business hours aren't set. The existing max-value reset (at 100 or 1,000) still applies, so tickets reset on whichever trigger comes first: time of day or max reached.

Dark mode is available across all Square Point of Sale apps on iOS, not just Food & Beverage. The updated color scheme matches market design standards for improved readability in low-light environments such as bars, theatres, and spas.

A modal prompt appears in Square Dashboard for sellers who have team members but haven't designated Authorized Representatives.

The modal supports multi-select, so you can assign multiple team members as Authorized Representatives in a single step.

Authorized Representatives can contact Square Support on behalf of the business.

Kiosk mode includes a dedicated settings experience where you can manage device groups, assign menus, configure branding, and control individual kiosk devices.

All kiosk configuration lives in one place rather than requiring navigation across multiple settings screens.

Sellers using courier-powered delivery through Online Ordering Profiles can set a custom delivery radius for orders fulfilled by couriers such as DoorDash or Uber Direct. The seller-defined radius takes priority over the courier's default serviceable area. This setting is configured in the delivery settings within channel controls.

Drive-Thru supports the full drive-thru journey from arrival through handoff. It includes automatic order numbering, a dedicated Drive-Thru fulfillment method, device-level fulfillment settings for front counter and window devices, and integration with Order Confirmation Systems (OCS) from The Howard Company for digital menus and real-time order updates. Drive-Thru is available on the Restaurants Premium tier.

If captcha verification fails during login, you can verify your identity through a magic link sent to your email address. This provides an alternative way to access your account without being blocked by false-positive captcha results.

The revamped online ordering page consolidates QR code ordering, brand controls (Cashtag, logo, color, About section), menus, pickup and delivery settings, taxes, service charges, and store policies into a single management screen.

A persistent mobile preview displays brand changes before you publish.

The item details screen in Square Point of Sale supports integrated scale workflows for weighing items at checkout. Scale connectivity is available across all Square POS modes: Standard, Retail, Quick Service, Full Service, Bar, Bookings, and Services. Weight-based items can be measured and priced directly from the item details view.

Manual discounts support advanced rules including category-based targeting, buy-one-get-one (BOGO) offers, and conditional logic.

These rule types, previously limited to automatic discounts, can be configured when creating or editing any manual discount.

Automatic discounts display and apply across menu, item, and cart views in web and app-based ordering.

Sellers configure discount rules (percentage off, dollar off, BOGO, or time-windowed promotions) once, and eligible discounts apply at checkout without manual intervention.

Food and beverage sellers using Square Point of Sale in Standard mode can open bar tabs with card preauthorization. When a customer opens a tab, POS places a hold on their card and releases or adjusts the final amount when the tab is closed.
