About locations

You can create multiple locations for a single business with your Square account. For each location, you can: 

  • Create unique business profiles for each location with specific business hours.

  • Add individual bank accounts or tags to differentiate transfers.

  • Manage location-specific reporting so you have granular insights into each location’s performance. 

  • Choose to match items from an existing Item Library.

  • Manage devices by location with Device Codes.

  • Subscribe for additional team logins as needed.

Before you begin

  • You can only create locations from your Square Dashboard, but you can manage locations at any time from both your Square Dashboard and Square Point of Sale apps. 

  • Once you create a location, you cannot delete it. However, you can deactivate locations at any time.

  • There is a 300-location limit per master account.

Create locations

When you first sign up for Square, your account automatically generates your first location. To create a new location:

  1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard and click Settings > Account & Settings > My business > Locations.

  2. Select Create location.

  3. Enter a Location business name and a Location nickname. The location business name appears on your customers’ card statements and digital receipts. The location nickname is for internal use and not shown to customers.

  4. Enter a brief description about your business.

  5. Enter your address and postcode.

  6. Enter your location’s email address and phone number, and any applicable social accounts.

  7. Add a brand logo and colour to be reflected across Square.

  8. Choose a time zone and enter your business hours. To add multiple timeframes for one day, click Add times.

  9. Select the bank account to use for transfers.

  10. Select the language for this location. The language you choose for this location is used in Square emails and customer receipts.

  11. If you want to match the item library from another location, select the location to match from the drop-down menu.

  12. Click Save.

Switch between locations in-app

You can switch between locations on your Square POS apps. However, you cannot switch locations if you're signed in to Square Register with the use of a device code. Learn how to create and assign device profiles.

  1. Sign in to your Square app and tap ☰ More > Switch location.

  2. Choose the location you want to view.
