All the things we’ve updated
Assign modifier sets to specific sales channels from your Square Dashboard
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.
Details
Automatic card surcharging now applies to bar tab payments
Automatic Card Surcharging (ACS) now works with pre-authorised card payments, including bar tabs. When a customer's credit card is pre-authorised 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-authorised payment flows.
Edit team member on closed orders
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.
Details
Offline payments enabled by default for all sellers
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.
Details
Passkey sign-in enabled by default on the web
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 enrolment is offered automatically during sign-in.
Details
Price-embedded barcode scanning in Restaurant POS modes
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.
Time-based menus on Square Point of Sale for food and beverage
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.
Unified item detail view across POS modes
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).
Offline payment enhancements
Set up the new and improved offline payments on your device to keep your business running during service disruptions.
Details
Disruptions can happen, but they shouldn’t stop you from making sales. Offline payments will now trigger more reliably – whether it's a full internet outage or just a dropped connection to Square.
Offline payments are processed automatically when you reconnect your device to the internet and will be declined if you do not reconnect to the internet within 24 hours of taking your first offline payment. By enabling offline payments, you are responsible for any expired, declined or disputed payments accepted while offline. Square is unable to provide customer contact information for payments declined while offline. eftpos-only cards, Square Gift Cards and Afterpay transactions do not work with offline payments. Offline payments are not supported on older versions of Square Reader (1st generation – v1 and v2).
Daily sales summary email
Get a complete picture of your daily performance with our new sales summary email. Enhanced metrics, trend comparisons and actionable insights help you optimise operations for the next day.
Deferred sales tracking
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.
Automatic ticket numbering for open orders
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.
Duplicate menus from the menu editor
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.
Item-level fulfilment preferences apply to Online Ordering Profiles
Fulfilment preferences set per item in Square Dashboard or Square Online are now respected across your ordering profiles. Items configured for specific fulfilment methods (pickup, delivery, or dine-in) will only appear to customers when the matching fulfilment type is selected.
Preview mode for Square Kiosk
You can now preview your Square Kiosk setup on any iPad without connecting to a Square Stand. Preview mode lets you view menu layout, item display, and kiosk configuration without requiring on-site hardware. This is available to account owners and support staff for troubleshooting.
Seller order confirmation emails for unified channel sellers
Square Online sellers migrated to unified channel profiles now continue to receive seller order confirmation emails. This preserves the existing email notification behaviour during the migration to the unified channel experience.
Seller-powered delivery option for Square Online orders
You can now offer your own delivery as a fulfilment option for Square Online orders. Delivery fee settings include maximum delivery fee caps and percentage-based fee offsets with order value thresholds, giving you control over how delivery costs are calculated for each order.
Top navigation menu in Square Banking
A top navigation menu now appears in the Square Banking section, placing core banking products above the fold for easier access.
Barcode scanner support in all Food & Beverage modes
Square Point of Sale now supports embedded and GTIN barcode scanning across all Food & Beverage modes. You can scan barcodes to look up items during order entry, regardless of which F&B mode your POS is configured to use.
Bar tabs with card pre-authorisation now available in Australia
You can now open a bar tab by pre-authorising a customers credit card on Square Point of Sale in Australia. Customers tap or insert their card to open a tab and keep their card with them. When the tab is closed, the final amount is charged to the pre-authorised card.
Card reader support for Square Kiosk on iOS
Square Kiosk on iOS now supports card readers for payment processing. You can connect a card reader instead of using a Square Stand, giving you more flexibility in how you set up your kiosk hardware.
Check settlement reporting and onboarding updates
Check settlement now includes updated reporting in Square Dashboard so settled checks appear accurately in your sales and transaction reports. Seller messaging and onboarding for the check settlement feature have also been updated.
Expanded combo configuration in Square for Franchises
Combo meals configured in Square for Franchises now support multiple item selections and upcharges or downcharges per combo group. Franchise administrators can define combos centrally and push them to locations without requiring individual account-level configuration.
PIN entry accessibility on Square terminals in ES, FR, and the UK
Square terminals in Spain, France, and the United Kingdom now support accessible PIN entry for blind or partially sighted buyers. This update ensures compliance with EU and UK accessibility regulations.
Press and hold menu items on POS to view item details
You can now press and hold any menu item on the POS order screen to view allergen information, dietary details, and item descriptions. Staff can reference this information without navigating away from the current order.
