Build combos in Real-Time Check View on Point of Sale

FeatureSquare Free
October 20, 2026
— POS

A full combo is built and reviewed in one place in Real-Time Check View. Staff move directly to a combo member that still needs an option chosen, or back to one that's already set, and each selection lands on the check as it's made. Combo building uses the same navigation and layout as the rest of Real-Time Check View. Real-Time Check View is on by default for sellers who use combos, with no setup required.

Card verification for larger invoice payments

FeatureSquare Free
October 20, 2026
— Invoices, Payments

When a customer pays a larger invoice with a card that's new to a seller's account, checkout can include a step where the customer confirms their identity with their bank. Verification uses 3D Secure, the card networks' standard for authenticating a cardholder during a payment. On a verified payment, liability for a fraud-related dispute sits with the card issuer rather than the seller. Sellers review or turn off the setting in Square Invoices settings in Square Dashboard.

Pool unattributed tips when tipping directly

FeatureSquare Free
October 20, 2026
— Staff, Payments

A tip goes unattributed when a sale is taken on a shared team passcode, with no personal passcode signed in, or by a team member who isn't tip eligible. Square splits those tips equally across every team member clocked in for that workday. Pooling is on by default for sellers new to Square and can be turned on under **Staff** > **Tips settings** in Dashboard.

FeatureSquare Plus
October 20, 2026

FeatureSquare Free
September 21, 2026
— POS, Sales channels

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.
