Get Started with Subscriptions in Point of Sale
With Square Subscriptions, you can offer and accept payments for subscription products at check-out.
How it works
You can offer your customers the option to subscribe with your business using an existing subscription plan.
Select Subscriptions to choose the subscription plan and add it to your customer’s profile. Your customer will be billed automatically for the subscription through their preferred payment method (e.g. card on file or invoice). You’ll also be able to look up customers with active subscriptions and manage their enrollment, all from the POS. You can also manage your subscriptions from your Dashboard.
You can access Subscriptions from each of the Square Points of Sale below:
To use Subscriptions with your Point of Sale: From your Square Point of Sale app, download and install the ‘Subscriptions’ add-on through the Add-on Library.
