Build multi-step modifier flows with nested options

FeatureSquare Plus
July 23, 2026
Items & Inventory

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.

Group items by category on Kitchen Display System

FeatureSquare Plus
July 23, 2026
KDS

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.

Feature

POS

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.

Create custom reasons for inventory adjustments

FeatureSquare Free

Set a specific count for limited-quantity items

FeatureSquare Free
July 9, 2026
Items & Inventory

Sellers can set a future available count to ensure the system reflects the right quantity at a specific time — whether an item is sold out and being prepped again, or currently available and being planned ahead. This count can also repeat on a daily or weekly cadence to support workflows where items are regularly prepared in batches.

Updated labels for item visibility on business websites

FeatureSquare Free
July 9, 2026
Online

Item listing status labels now use "hidden" and "not hidden" to control whether an item appears in Shop All and Order Online pages on your Square business website. Hidden items can still be purchased via direct link or added to featured items or sections on your website. This toggle appears under Channels in the item edit sheet, or as "Hidden status" when bulk editing. This replaces the previous "Hidden" and "Direct link only" labels — there's no change to how the setting works.
