Notification Centre

We’ve built a new Notification Centre that centralises all your notifications across the Square Point Of Sale app, Square Appointments app and the Square for Retail app. You can receive and read account alerts, new feature announcements and Square news – all from one easy-to-access place.

Account notifications

Account notifications like order alerts, disputes and sales trends are indicated by a blue numbered badge overlaying the Notifications icon on the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen.

What’s New notifications

What’s New notifications, such as insights on how to improve your POS and new product features, are indicated by a blue badge overlaying the Notifications icon on the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen.

Urgent notifications

Urgent notifications, such as a frozen account, are indicated by a red warning badge overlaying the Notifications icon on the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen. An urgent notification will appear larger in size under account notifications.
