Activate Square Card instantly with QR code
Scan the QR code printed on posted Square Cards to activate them immediately without entering the expiry 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.
Details
Cardholders can activate their Square Card by scanning the QR code included in the posted card – no manual entry of expiry dates or CVC required. The streamlined flow reduces typing errors and speeds activation while maintaining secure verification behind the scenes.
For your business, that adds up to less time spent on setup and fewer calls to support, so cards are in hand and ready for purchases or payouts sooner. Faster, simpler activation helps you avoid delays in buying supplies, paying suppliers or accessing cashflow, and makes it easier for you to adopt and use Square Card from day one.
Make staff breaks mandatory and easy to track
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.
Details
Set required-break rules in the Square Dashboard or Square app – require a break after a set number of hours or for shifts longer than a specified length. When a break is missed, managers see alerts and the missed break is flagged on the employee’s timecard so you can follow up and correct records before payroll.
Putting breaks on autopilot helps you enforce consistent policies across shifts and locations, supporting staff health and reducing compliance risk.
Manage item availability
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 are always ready for service. Long-press an item tile on your menu to get started.
Standardise your reporting day for accurate revenue
Set a single reporting day so numbers in Square Dashboard, transfers reports and settlement times align. When your reports match, reconciliation takes less time, accounting errors drop and you get clearer day-on-day revenue insights to help protect cashflow.
Details

Details
Modern Keyboard
The new Modern Keyboard brings a smoother, more modern checkout experience to Register, Terminal and Handheld. It’s smaller to free up screen space and now recognises common email aliases for faster, easier entry.
Rotate floor plans on Square Handheld for better visibility
