Release notes
Vol 1 | April 9, 2026
Product updates across payments, menus, and sign-in
Modifier sets assignable by sales channel
What changed: Modifier sets can now be assigned to specific sales channels (e.g. Points of Sale, Square Online and delivery apps).
Why it matters: Not every modifier makes sense in every channel. Now you can keep in-store only options off your online menu (and vice versa) without creating separate modifier sets.
Access: Go to Items > Modifiers on your Dashboard and choose which channels each modifier set applies to. Disabling the Point of Sale sales channel will only affect POS versions 7.2 and later.

Time-based menus on Square Point of Sale for food and beverage sellers
What changed: Time-Based Menus on POS brings automatic menu scheduling to F&B modes (Full Service, Quick Service and Bar). The POS now auto-selects the right menu based on the time of day, restricts off-hours access to manager overrides and keeps menus in sync across every channel.
Auto Menu Selection — POS defaults to the first available menu based on the current time. No manual switching.
Off-Hours Access Control — Team members without "Configure service settings" permission are blocked from off-hours menus. Manager passcode override required.
Item Search Still Works — Staff can always find and add individual items via search, even from inactive menus—great for accommodating special requests.
Full Channel Parity — Same menu hours now enforced across POS, Square Online, Kiosks, Ordering Profiles and delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub).
Why it matters: No more staff accidentally ringing up breakfast items during dinner service, or happy hour pricing outside of happy hour.
Access: Go to Items > Items & menus > Menus on your Dashboard. Find the menu you want to schedule, then click the three-dot menu (⋯) and select Edit menu details to set the menu hours.
Passkey sign-in on the web for faster, more secure access
What changed: The next time you log in to Square dashboard, we will automatically create a passkey to make future logins more secure.
Why it matters: Passkeys protect your account from unauthorized access
Access: Now that a passkey is created for your account, when you visit Square from this device, we'll automatically detect your passkey and prompt you to authenticate using your device's biometric features (like fingerprint or facial recognition)
