Activate Square Card instantly with QR code

1 December 2025
Money

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

1 December 2025
Staff

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.

Standardise your reporting day for accurate revenue

1 December 2025
Dashboard app, Reports

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
We are formalising reporting day so all of your daily reports use the same start and end times. By aligning Dashboard reports, sales summaries, transfer reports and settlement timing, you’ll see the same totals across tools instead of reconciling small differences manually. This reduces the time you spend fixing discrepancies, lowers the risk of accounting mistakes and makes cashflow forecasting and tax or payroll reporting more reliable. In short, consistent reporting hours cut reconciliation work and help you act on revenue insights with confidence.
