Add and manage team members
About adding team members
Adding your employees as team members allows you to manage your employees’ access to your Square account, configure access, assign wages, and add them to other Square services.
When you create a team member, you can assign a personal passcode, which they can see upon accepting their invitation. Team members can use their personal passcodes to sign in and out at the point of sale or clock in and out.
Before you begin
You can add team members from your Square Dashboard or Square Point of Sale app.
To create a team member profile and send team members an invitation, you need certain personal information, including an email address or phone number. To complete the sign-up process, each team member must accept the invitation sent via email or phone within 30 days.
