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 receipts to Credit Card transactions by text
A text message prompt goes out after a purchase. Square matches the photo reply to the most recent transaction. Sellers attach or remove receipts and add notes. They can export transactions with notes and receipt images from Dashboard. Receipt-request text messages are off by default.
Customize barcode label layouts on Point of Sale for iOS
Sellers choose which fields print on a label, including item name, SKU, price, and supplier information, then adjust sizing and rearrange the content. Layouts are set and printed from the barcode printing options in Point of Sale on iOS. Available to sellers on Square Plus and above.
Dark mode in Invoices
Square Invoices follows the device's system appearance setting, so the app displays in dark mode when the phone is set to dark, with no setup required. Sellers who want the app to differ from the rest of their device set an override in **Settings > Appearance,** and that choice holds regardless of the system setting.
Drag tickets into a new sequence on Kitchen Display System
Kitchen staff set the prep sequence themselves instead of working tickets in the order they were rung up. A custom sequence holds until that ticket is completed, and manual ordering applies across main, expo, and station views. On the Kitchen Display System device, go to **Settings** > **Layout**, then set **Ticket sequence** to **Manual**.
Extend Uber Eats prep times with Busy mode on Point of Sale
Sellers add time to incoming Uber Eats orders from the Orders screen in Square Point of Sale without pausing orders altogether. The setting is temporary, so prep times return to normal once the kitchen catches up. Because it sets Uber Eats' own Busy Mode, the longer prep time carries through to the marketplace, and an active Uber Eats integration is required.
Keep a dine-in tab open across rounds with QR code ordering
Guests scan a table QR code, open a tab, and add food or drinks throughout the visit, then pay once at close-out. Opening a tab preauthorizes the guest's card, and the full payment completes at the end. Staff work the tab as a single in-progress order through Open Tickets in Point of Sale. Available on Square Plus.
Manage online ordering settings from one page in Dashboard
The cash tag, menu settings, and other online ordering controls sit together. They're now in a single overview. The change is to the layout only. Every setting works the same, and nothing has been added or removed. The layout applies automatically, so no setup is required.
Refund a card with no original sale on record
Staff issue refunds from Transactions in Point of Sale even when Square has no record of the original sale. Refunds go out by amount or against selected items, and the refunded card can be dipped, tapped, or keyed in manually. Sellers set access per team-member permission, and refunds are capped at a configurable amount per transaction.
Set the modifier sequence on printed kitchen tickets
Each item carries its own modifier sequence, set per item in the **Modifiers** section of Item Library in Dashboard. Tickets printed from Point of Sale follow that sequence instead of the checkout sequence, matching the sequencing already available on Kitchen Display System. Only modifiers available on Point of Sale follow the sequence. Available to Square Plus sellers on Square for Restaurants..
Set variation preselection and customization skipping per item
Each item carries two separate settings that control what happens when it's tapped on Point of Sale. **Automatically select first variation** pre-selects the first variation, such as a size, which staff confirm or change. **Skip customization when possible** bypasses the item details screen when every required selection is already satisfied. Both settings live on the item in Dashboard and apply in Standard, F&B, and Retail modes.
Smart Upsells enabled by default on Kiosk
Square Kiosk recommends related add-on items to customers during ordering. Sellers who want the recommendations running don't need to take any action. To turn them off, go to **Settings** > **Device Management** > **Kiosk** in Dashboard, open the group settings profile assigned to the device, and change the **Upsells** setting under **Checkout**.
Sort kitchen ticket items by seat number
A Seat option in the item sort order prints shared and table-share items first, then remaining items in ascending seat order. Items print as a flat list, with no seat headers or sections. The option applies to Kitchen Display System chits, Kitchen Display System printed tickets, and Square Point of Sale printed tickets on iOS and Android
Updated Checkout grid with visible cart
The Checkout item grid has a new look, making it easier to find and add items, categories, discounts, and more. The cart updates in real time, and a redesigned item detail view keeps it visible while staff choose variations and modifiers. Sellers turn it off in Dashboard under **What's New** > **Early Feature Access**, where one switch covers both the item grid and Live Cart.
Camera barcode scanning on Android devices
Sellers use the built-in camera on Android devices to scan barcodes for adding items to the cart or creating and editing catalog items. The feature activates by pressing the volume key. It can be enabled under **More** > **Settings** > **Hardware** > **Camera Barcode Scanner**.
Customizable background colors for modifier tiles on Point of Sale
Sellers assign custom background colors to individual modifiers, making them easier to distinguish on the Square Point of Sale screen. Colors are set from Square Dashboard under **Items & Services** > **Items** > **Modifiers** by selecting a modifier set and choosing **Customize** next to any modifier. Both Kitchen Display System and Point of Sale colors can be set from the same screen.
Custom sounds and volume control for Kitchen Device System alerts
The new-ticket alert on Kitchen Display System (KDS) can be set to any notification sound available on the device. A sound picker with preview and a device volume slider appear in the display's Timers & alerts settings, so sellers choose a sound and adjust loudness without leaving the app.
Error alerts for unrecognized scales and scanner-scales
When a scale or scanner-scale cable is connected but Square Point of Sale can't fully recognize the device, an error message appears in Hardware Hub. The alert includes troubleshooting steps so sellers can resolve connectivity issues.
Group ordering on Point of Sale
Multiple guests in the same group add items to a single consolidated kitchen ticket. The kitchen receives one merged ticket per group instead of separate tickets for each guest. Each guest settles their own portion independently at payment time.
Keypad tab for custom amounts in real-time check view
A Keypad tab appears to the left of the menu in the Menu applet for sellers using real-time check view. Sellers enter a custom dollar amount, add an optional note, and add it directly to the open check without creating a catalog item first.
Option to show dine-in fulfillment in the Point of Sale cart
A per-mode setting controls whether the dine-in fulfillment row appears in the checkout cart. Sellers using Full Service, Quick Service, Bar, or Drive-Thru modes find the option under **More** > **Settings** > **Checkout** > **Cart**. Quick Service and Drive-Thru modes have the setting enabled by default.
Preset tip percentages on invoice payments
Sellers set preset tip percentage buttons that appear when customers pay an invoice on the web. Customers select a preset amount or enter a custom tip. The setting is available under invoices in the Square Point of Sale or Square Dashboard.
Quantity bar for real-time check view on Point of Sale
Sellers using real-time check view select an item quantity before adding it to a check. For configurable items, the selected quantity carries through modifier selection and applies when the item is added. The quantity bar is off by default but turns on automatically for sellers who previously used the calculator in real-time check view.
Sales Report updates for refunds, comparisons, and dates
The Sales Report on Square Point of Sale shows both itemized returns and by-amount refunds in the Sales Summary overview, with consistent terminology on iOS and Android. Period-over-period comparisons on Android measure matching timeframes, and the date-range selector works when starting from a preset.
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.
