Configure item default settings

Who is this article for?
This article is for sellers who want to make item creation faster by configuring settings that automatically give all new items certain attributes.

About item defaults

When creating items, you can configure certain item settings so that new items always have a few attributes automatically enabled, especially for items you sell on your Square Online site. This includes default item type, online channels, and site visibility.

Before you begin

To see all item defaults, make sure you've set up a Square Online account. Learn how to Get started with Square Online.

Set up item defaults

To set up item defaults:

  1. From your Square Item Library, go Settings > Item defaults.

  2. Click Edit by the setting you want to configure.

  3. Click Save when finished.

Available item defaults

You can set up the following options as your item defaults:

Item type

Choose the item type all new items should be. This is especially helpful when you only sell one kind of item (such as only Physical or only Event items).

Online channels

Choose the sites and other online channels to which all new items should be assigned. This is especially helpful when you have multiple sites, or sell on multiple channels such as Google or Facebook.

Site visibility

Choose the site visibility option all new items should have out of Available, Hidden, and Unavailable.
