Sellers use the built-in camera on Android devices to scan barcodes for adding items to the basket or creating and editing catalogue items. The feature activates by pressing the volume key. It can be enabled under **More** > **Settings** > **Hardware** > **Camera Barcode Scanner**.

The new-ticket alert on Kitchen Display System (KDS) can be set to any notification sound available on the device. A sound picker with preview and a device volume slider appear in the display's Timers & alerts settings, so sellers can choose a sound and adjust the volume without leaving the app.

Sellers assign custom background colours to individual modifiers, making them easier to distinguish on the Square Point of Sale screen. Colours are set from Square Dashboard under **Items & Services** > **Items** > **Modifiers** by selecting a modifier set and choosing **Customise** next to any modifier. Both Kitchen Display System and Point of Sale colours can be set from the same screen.

When a scale or scanner-scale cable is connected but Square Point of Sale can't fully recognise the device, an error message appears in Hardware Hub. The alert includes troubleshooting steps so sellers can resolve connectivity issues.

Multiple guests in the same group add items to a single consolidated kitchen ticket. The kitchen receives one merged ticket per group rather than separate tickets for each guest. Each guest settles their own share independently when it's time to pay.

A Keypad tab appears to the left of the menu in the Menu applet for sellers using real-time bill view. Sellers enter a custom amount, add an optional note, and add it directly to the open bill without creating a catalogue item first.

A per-mode setting controls whether the dine-in fulfilment row appears in the checkout basket. Sellers using Full Service, Quick Service, Bar, or Drive-Thru modes find the option under **More** > **Settings** > **Checkout** > **Basket**. Quick Service and Drive-Thru modes have the setting enabled by default.

Sellers set preset tip percentage buttons that appear when customers pay an invoice on the web. Customers select a preset amount or enter a custom tip. The setting is available under invoices in Square Point of Sale or Square Dashboard.

Sellers using real-time bill view select an item quantity before adding it to a bill. For configurable items, the selected quantity carries through modifier selection and applies when the item is added. The quantity bar is off by default but turns on automatically for sellers who previously used the calculator in real-time bill view.

The Sales Report on Square Point of Sale shows both itemised returns and by-amount refunds in the Sales Summary overview, with consistent terminology on iOS and Android. Period-over-period comparisons on Android measure matching timeframes, and the date-range selector works when starting from a preset.

Sellers attach add-on services to any bookable appointment – each with its own price and duration. Buyers select add-on services when booking an appointment online.

Sellers switch between measurement units whilst performing a full or cycle inventory count. For example, a count can be recorded in individual units, cases or other configured units without leaving the count screen.

Square Appointments supports a dark mode display option. Sellers can switch between light and dark themes based on their preference.

Sellers can exclude specific items from discount promotions, preventing those products from being discounted at checkout. Exclusions are set per item and apply across all channels where the item is active.

Sellers receive low-stock alert emails 90 minutes after each location's closing time, rather than at one fixed time for the whole account. For sellers with several locations, each alert arrives at the end of that location's day instead of mid-shift. No new setting or action required.

An opt-in setting on the expo Kitchen Display System (KDS) moves tickets to the front of the queue once all prep stations mark them complete. This helps expo staff prioritise orders that are ready for final assembly or hand-off while other tickets still need prep work.

Sellers schedule bulk price changes to catalogue items from Square Dashboard. Prices update automatically at the scheduled date and time.

Sellers can exempt or reduce tax on online orders based on whether the order is for collection, delivery or dine-in. These conditions previously applied only to in-person orders.

A device setting separates each item's All Day count into 'fired' and 'held' totals. When enabled, a flame icon shows the fired count and a hold icon shows the held count, covering held courses on live tickets and fully-held upcoming tickets.

Sellers can customise the bottom navigation bar in Square Point of Sale by adding applets that were previously accessible only through the More menu. This gives direct, one-tap access to frequently used tools without navigating away from the main screen.

Staggered item prep times on Square KDS now account for the entire order, not just the items on each station's screen. Stations with quick items wait to fire so the whole order finishes together, and if a longer dish finishes early or is removed, waiting stations get an orange alert to start straight away. Nothing to set up — devices with staggered item prep times switched on get this automatically.

The Consolidate identical items in the basket setting controls whether the same item added multiple times merges into a single line on Point of Sale. Turn it off to show each item on its own line, so staff can open and modify an individual item without splitting a grouped line first. The setting can be configured per mode.

Sellers now have more options when creating labels from Square Register. There are additional label sizes to choose from, plus more flexibility with content — including font styles and sizes, more fields to add, and more ways to organise what appears on each label.

The quick setup option for printers only appears when no printer profiles exist. Sellers who already have profiles assign one directly to a new printer – this keeps quick setup from creating default profiles that conflict with an existing configuration.

Sellers can set a custom display order for modifier sets for each item from Square Dashboard. The chosen sequence applies to both KDS screens and KDS printed tickets, so modifiers appear in the same position on every ticket regardless of the order they were entered on Square Point of Sale.
