Important to note

  • Customers in your directory will be considered subscribed if they have a public email address (i.e. the email address was manually entered into the customer’s profile) that has not bounced or been manually unsubscribed. Customers with a private email address (i.e. not visible) and have made 1 or more payments in the last 12 months with your business will also be considered subscribed.

  • 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 subscription pricing is based on the number of subscribed contacts stored in your Customer Directory. If you use Square Appointments, your client list will be automatically merged with your Customer Directory, which may cause your subscription pricing to increase.
