About locations

You can create multiple locations for a single business with your Square account. For each location, you can: 

  • Create unique business profiles for each location with specific business hours.

  • Add individual bank accounts or tags to differentiate transfers.

  • Manage location-specific reporting so you have granular insight into each location’s performance. 

  • Choose to match items from an existing Item Library.

  • Manage devices by location with Device Codes.

  • You can also subscribe for additional team logins as needed.

Before you begin

You can create locations on your Square Dashboard and manage locations on your Square Dashboard and Square Point of Sale app. 

There is a 300-location limit per master account. Once you create a location, you cannot delete it. However, you can deactivate locations.

When you sign up, your account automatically generates your first location. You cannot undo creating a location. To create a new location:

  1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard and select Settings > Account & Settings > Business Information > Locations.

  2. Select Create Location.

  3. Choose a Location business name and nickname for your location. The Location business name appears on your customers’ card statements and digital receipts.

  4. Enter a brief description about your business.

  5. Enter your address and postal code.

  6. Enter your location’s email address and phone number.

  7. For Branding, add a logo by selecting + Upload Logo.

  9. Select the language for this location. The language you choose for this location is used in Square emails and customer receipts.

  10. If you want to match the item library from another location, select the location to match from the drop-down menu.

  11. Select Save.

Switch between locations in app

You can switch between locations on your Square app. However, you cannot switch locations if you are signed in to Square Register with the use of a device code. Learn how to create and assign device profiles.
