And of course, thank you to our team of Community Moderators who provided help in literally thousands of threads. Their work supports sellers like you and keeps the Community organized.
New Community Programs
In 2022 the Community team worked hard to organize programs for sellers in nine countries across three continents and counting.
- We hosted several online events in 2022 to give you the opportunity to share your feedback, to present feature requests, and to meet virtually with product teams at Square. Check out our most popular event in 2022: Inventory Q&A: Ask our product team anything about Square Inventory.
- We built new communities to welcome Spanish and Catalan sellers to Square.
- We welcomed the Weebly Community. If you use the drag-and-drop Weebly website editor, you can use this new dedicated forum to get help on website questions and more from experienced website builders and sellers.
- We rolled out Seller Groups to more countries, including the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. Also we launched a brand new space for Artists and Makers. Community groups are a place to get advice from other business owners in your industry.
- We launched a new way to share feature requests in the Community. Currently only available in the U.S., Ideate is your one-stop shop to review current feature requests, to join a Beta Program to test new features, and to share your own requests.
Notable Community Threads
Here are just some of the many threads started in 2022, in which sellers helped each other by sharing their advice and experience running a business. 💚
- How do you handle appointment cancellations? Sellers in the Beauty and Wellness group share best practices.
- Custom Branded Cups/Packaging Insights from Food & Beverage business owners about when to switch to branded packaging and the cost implications thereof.
- How do you determine or calculate your pricing? A top issue for sellers in 2022. Read all the ways you can approach pricing.
- If you had one piece of advice for someone about to start a new business, what would it be? Thinking about starting a new business (or another one)? Review the replies in this thread for some sage advice.
Here are a few threads where sellers made connections in our Seller Groups:
- Beauty & Wellness: What Happens When You Use This Community as a Resource. A business owner celebrates their success in securing a business grant.
- Food & Beverage: Network or ingredient source among the seller community? A business owner kick-starts a thread to share ingredients or food products with fellow restaurateurs in the Community.
