Customise Store Emails for Square Online

When your customers make a purchase through Square Online, they’ll automatically receive email notifications at the email address they entered during checkout. You can edit these emails and their content in your Square Online Overview page.

Note: Receipts emailed to customers for sales made at your physical locations will continue to be customised in your Account & Settings page under Business information > Receipt. Learn more about customising your receipts and invoices for your physical locations.

Add a Sender Profile

To start sending store emails from Square Online to your customers, start by adding a sender profile. To add a sender profile:

  1. In your Square Online Overview page, go to Communications > Email & Text Alerts.

  2. Select Add Profile to begin creating a Sender Profile.

  3. Select Save when finished. This will trigger an email that’ll be sent to the email address in your sender profile.

  4. Select the button in your confirmation email to complete the sender profile verification.

The sender profile lets your customers know who you are as a business and is the information that displays in the email’s footer (including your business name, email address and physical address).

Edit and Customise Your Emails

Note: Editing all emails is free, but some will require an upgrade on your Square Online site to be sent.

The store email editor is separate from the site editor for your Square Online site. This editor has a drag-and-drop interface that allows you to select and drag features of your choice and drop them onto different areas of your email as needed.

Consider adding images, social icons or a custom header or footer message with additional information about your business. When finished, select Save and Close.
