Feature log
All the things we’ve updated
With simplified pricing, you unlock more features when you upgrade plans. For example, Square Premium includes everything from Square Free and Square Plus.
Attach add-on services in the online booking flow
Sellers attach add-on services to any bookable appointment — each with its own price and duration. Buyers select add-on services when booking an appointment online.
Change measurement units during inventory counts
Sellers switch between measurement units while performing a full or cycle inventory count. For example, a count can be recorded in individual units, cases, or other configured units without leaving the count screen.
Dark mode in Appointments
Square Appointments supports a dark mode display option. Sellers switch between light and dark themes based on their preference.
Exclude specific items or categories from discounts
Sellers can exclude specific items from discount promotions, preventing those products from being discounted at checkout. Exclusions are set per item and apply across all channels where the item is active.
Low-stock alert emails scheduled by location business hours
Sellers receive low-stock alert emails 90 minutes after each location's closing time, rather than at one fixed time for the whole account. For sellers with several locations, each alert arrives at the end of that location's day instead of mid-shift. No new setting or action required.
Move ready tickets to front on Kitchen Display System expo
An opt-in setting on the expo Kitchen Display System (KDS) moves tickets to the front of the queue once all prep stations mark them complete. This helps expo staff prioritize orders that are ready for final assembly or handoff while other tickets still need prep work.
Pay bills from an external bank account
Sellers can now connect an external bank account to use as a funding source for bill payments. Previously, bills could only be funded by a debit card, credit card, or Square Checking account — so sellers who keep operating funds in an outside bank account had to leave Square to pay those vendors. This removes the need for a separate banking app to pay vendors from a business bank account, and keeps Square a one-stop shop for business banking.
Schedule price updates from Dashboard
Sellers schedule bulk price changes to catalog items from Dashboard. Prices update automatically at the scheduled date and time.
Set different tax rules for pickup, delivery, and dine-in on online orders
Sellers can exempt or reduce sales tax on online orders based on whether the order is for pickup, delivery, or dine-in. These conditions previously applied only to in-person orders.
Split "fired" and "held" All Day counts on Kitchen Display System
A device setting separates each item's All Day count into “fired” and “held” totals. When enabled, a flame icon shows the fired count and a hold icon shows the held count, covering held courses on live tickets and fully-held upcoming tickets.
Accept EBT/SNAP payments at checkout
Eligible sellers in the US can accept SNAP EBT as a payment method directly through Square,* including in carts that mix EBT-eligible and non-eligible items. Square automatically splits the tender and adjusts taxes accordingly, with no manual work needed from the seller. Available in Retail mode on Square Register, Square Handheld, or Square Terminal. *Valid USDA FNS authorization required. [Terms](https://squareup.com/us/en/legal/general/payment#6%2E-other-payment-methods) apply.
Add more applets to the Point of Sale bottom navigation
Sellers can customize the bottom navigation bar in Square Point of Sale by adding applets that were previously accessible only through the More menu. This gives direct, one-tap access to frequently used tools without navigating away from the main screen.
Align prep times across stations on Kitchen Display System
Staggered item prep times on Square KDS now account for the entire order, not just the items on each station's screen. Stations with quick items wait to fire so the whole order finishes together, and if a longer dish finishes early or is removed, waiting stations get an orange alert to start right away. Nothing to set up — devices with staggered item prep times on get this automatically.
Choose how identical items appear in the cart
The Consolidate identical items in the cart setting controls whether the same item added multiple times merges into a single line on Point of Sale. Turn it off to show each item on its own line, so staff can open and modify an individual item without splitting a grouped line first. The setting can be configured per mode.
Customize barcode label layout and content
Sellers now have more options when creating labels from Square Register. There are additional label sizes to choose from, plus more flexibility with content — including font styles and sizes, more fields to add, and more ways to organize what appears on each label.
Quick printer setup hidden when printer profiles exist
The quick setup option for printers only appears when no printer profiles exist. Sellers who already have profiles assign one directly to a new printer — this keeps quick setup from creating default profiles that conflict with an existing configuration.
Reorder modifier sets on Kitchen Display System
Sellers can set a custom display order for modifier sets on a per-item basis from Dashboard. The chosen sequence applies to both KDS screens and KDS printed tickets, so modifiers appear in the same position on every ticket regardless of the order they were rung in on Point of Sale.
Reopen and edit paid checks on Square for Restaurants for Android
Sellers at locations with the Reopen and Keep check settlement setting turned on can reopen a recently paid check straight from the order's details, add or edit items, and either keep it open or close it again. The updated total settles against the card authorization from the original payment — no need to bring the customer back or re-collect their card.
See new releases and schedule installs right from Point of Sale and Dashboard
The What's New section highlights upcoming and recently launched features, and is available on Point of Sale in addition to Square Dashboard. Sellers can choose to schedule when new updates install.
Build multi-step modifier flows with nested options
Nest a modifier set under a specific modifier choice, and those selections only appear when that choice is picked, up to three levels deep. For example, selecting a milk could prompt a follow-up sweetness choice. Staff and customers see one clean flow, with no messy workarounds like duplicating sets.
Charge auto-gratuity before discounts are applied
Calculate auto-gratuity on the pre-discount subtotal instead of the discounted total, and set multiple rates for different service scenarios.
Control ticket padding in printer profiles
Printer profile settings control whether top and bottom padding appears on printed order tickets. A separate setting determines whether the ticket footer, which includes device and profile information, prints.
Edit prices and margins from the inventory receive screen
Update an item's price or margin directly from the inventory receive flow and stock overview item details on Point of Sale. When a shipment comes in at a new cost, you can see the margin impact and reprice on the spot.
Group items by category on Kitchen Display System
A setting on Kitchen Display System (KDS) lets sellers choose how ticket items are sorted: by the order they were rung in, alphabetically, or by category. When sellers choose category sorting, items are visually grouped on the ticket by the item's reporting category, so cooks find what they need in a consistent spot.
Merge tables directly from Point of Sale
Staff combine multiple tables into one group directly from Point of Sale during service, moving the tables together on the floor plan and updating the table number even after an order's been placed. Merged tables share a single check, letting teams manage large parties or flexible seating without switching to Dashboard.
