Square Marketing Features

With Square Marketing, you can engage your subscribed customers via free or paid email marketing campaigns.

  • Email Marketing: Send unlimited email marketing campaigns with customisable templates.

  • Automated Email Campaigns: After a one-time setup, automatically send your customers a welcome email, a coupon on their birthday, or reminders to come back in.

  • Target your customers with automatic smart groups, so that the right people get the right message to maximise your sales. Filter your Marketing Subscribers through your Customer Directory.

  • View your results and sales: See in-depth reporting for every single campaign.

  • Celebrate Birthdays: Collect customer birthdays, and send automatic coupons to delight them on their special day.

  • Send Google My Business Campaigns: Promote your products and services online by increasing visibility and improving your chances of showing up in Google search results.

  • Request Google Reviews: Set up Google Business Profile with your Square account and create automated email campaigns so you can request Google Reviews and drive new customer acquisition and sales. Learn more about Google Review automation campaigns.

Note: Customers in your directory will be only considered as “subscribed” if they have explicitly provided consent to receive email marketing from your business. When a customer’s email address is unsubscribed or bounces, the email address will not be removed from your directory, but it will no longer be included in your Marketing filters and smart groups.

Square Marketing Pricing

From your Square Dashboard, Square Marketing offers free email templates to:

  • Promote eGift Cards

If you would like access to our premium email templates, sign up for a 30-day free trial for Square Marketing to start sending newsletters, announcements, event invitations, coupons, and more. Once the free trial ends, the subscription is based on the number of subscribed customers you have in your Customer Directory.

Square Email Marketing pricing is based on the number of subscribed customers you have in your Customer Directory. A subscribed customer is a customer that has provided consent to receive marketing emails from your business. This can be via an import of an existing database or through one of our customer information collection tools. Learn more about Square Marketing pricing.
