All the things we’ve updated

Faster order syncing across devices

30 April 2026
Orders, POS

Orders now sync between devices significantly faster, reducing the time it takes for new and updated orders to appear across your setup. The improvement is most noticeable in multi-device environments or locations using collection workflows. This applies to all device platforms.

Full stock counts on Square Terminal and Android devices

30 April 2026
Items & Inventory, Hardware

You can now carry out full physical inventory counts directly on Square Terminal, Consumer Android and X2 devices. Scan items, reconcile quantities and finalise counts without needing a separate device. This feature is available in open beta starting with version 7.4 for Square for Retail Plus sellers, accessible from the inventory applet.

Item availability and inventory status in Item Library

30 April 2026
Items & Inventory

Your Item Library on Square Dashboard now displays availability status pills so you can see at a glance which items are available, sold out or hidden. Clicking a pill opens a popover that lets you update item availability and stock directly from the same page.

Menu editing enforces team member location permissions

30 April 2026
Items & Inventory, Staff

Menu editing actions now enforce team member location permissions. When a team member has access to specific locations, they can only edit menus and run bulk actions for those locations. This applies to actions like assigning modifier sets, updating price overrides and creating items within menus.

POS, Items & Inventory

Price and profit margin columns now appear in the inventory receive flow and the stock overview items page within the inventory applet on Square Point of Sale. Both columns are view-only. This feature is available with Square Plus.

Assign modifier sets to specific sales channels from Dashboard

9 April 2026
Items & Inventory, Sales channels

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
Use Square Dashboard to assign modifiers to the channels and locations where they should appear — online, in Square Point of Sale, or delivery apps — without editing each channel separately. Apply changes in bulk, preview which modifiers are active per channel, and keep pricing or availability consistent where it matters most. By narrowing modifier visibility to the right channels you reduce customer confusion and order errors, speed up checkout, and cut down on manual updates. This makes menu management simpler across multiple locations and sales channels so you can focus on service and sales instead of chasing mismatched options.

Edit team member on closed orders

9 April 2026
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
Easily change which team member is credited on a closed order to correct mistakes or reflect who actually handled the sale. You won’t need to reopen or alter the transaction totals—just update the staff attribution so reports, tip allocation, and timecard summaries reflect the correct person. Changes are tracked so you have an audit trail for reconciliation and payroll review, and access to the feature is governed by staff permissions so you control who can make edits. That means fewer payroll corrections, clearer shift reporting, and less time spent resolving attribution errors at the end of the day.

Offline payments enabled by default for all sellers

9 April 2026
Payments, POS

Offline payments are now switched 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
When your internet goes down, your Square Point of Sale and compatible Square hardware switch to taking offline payments and queue card payments so you can finish the sale. Queued transactions are stored securely on the device and automatically process when connectivity is restored, so you don’t have to re-enter sales or risk losing revenue. Keeping payments flowing helps you serve customers faster, avoid lines, and reduce staff steps during outages. If you’d rather require online authorization, you can disable offline payments in your Square Point of Sale settings; otherwise the feature is on by default to keep your checkout reliable.

Passkey sign-in enabled by default on the web

9 April 2026
Account

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
With passkeys enabled by default, when you sign in on mobile the Square Point of Sale or Square app will offer device-based authentication—like Face ID or fingerprint—so future logins are just a tap. Passkeys replace traditional passwords with a secure, phishing-resistant credential stored on your device, which reduces lockouts and support time spent on password resets. If needed, you can still sign in with a password or add another device through account settings, giving you flexibility while keeping access fast and secure.

Price-embedded barcode scanning in RST POS modes

9 April 2026
POS, Payments

Square Point of Sale now supports price-embedded barcodes (EAN and UPC-A 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 F&B

9 April 2026
POS

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. Note: Times are displayed in 24-hour format (e.g. 17:00 rather than 5:00 PM).
