Welcome to the Square Community - we're so glad you’re here!

No matter if you've been a member of the Square Community for a while, or are just joining, you're in the right place. Our goal is to have a space where Sellers can come together, interact, and gain knowledge to grow their businesses. With that, we would love for you to connect with fellow Sellers by introducing yourself on this thread!

Share a bit about who you are, the type of business that you run, where you’re based, and even a glimpse into your hobbies. Feel free to include photos of your business and/or a link to your website and socials too. 🙂 

The floor is yours, and we're eager to get to know you better!

So excited to see new faces and read all about your businesses 🎉!

As we are gearing up to the holiday season, we are once again curating a Community Gift Guide. It's an initiative we started last year and we got an incredible response, so we want to keep the tradition going. 

Please share an item or service you are excited to offer for this holiday season in this thread. If you are selling online, don't forget to share a link in your reply too! I can't wait to see what everyone is doing.

Most people know me as ScaryAnn or Scary. I weave tiny metal rings into beautiful jewelry. We (my other half and I) started out setting up at local Farmers Markets. Setting up and tearing down three times a week was just too much on my falling apart body, so we rented a small storefront in our small town. We still do one Farmers Market, but having the storefront has been so much easier on my body. I've been using Square for a few years now. You can see some of my work at: www.designsbyscaryann.com

@scaryann very glad to have you here and your designs look awesome! 🙂 

[scaryann]

Thank you! Yesterday was the last regular market for the season, now I can get caught up on my online stuff. 

[CareyJo]

Nice work!  That's gotta take a lot of patience!!

[scaryann]

Thank you! I've always enjoyed doing things that take time and patience. 🙂 

[tehale]

Love your work!

[scaryann]

Thank you! I do love what I do!

[Sheli]

[scaryann]

Thank you! Now that the market season is over, I can get caught up with my online stuff. 😄

Opened a flower shop (that also sells consigned craft goods) in Wisconsin suburb. Resisting the push from all the floral mega sites and doing the whole thing on Square. For the most part Square has been perfect...frustrated right now with the app and "orders"

[maxpete]

@papalorax welcome! Sorry to hear some of your frustrations too and hope you can get a solve for them! 

[papalorax]

seems that Square does not want the ability to place an order with ringing it through as a sale...there is no other way to explain that the "create order" button does not appear on the ipad or the terminal app in the orders screen.

Hi, Everyone!

I'm a torchwork glass artist, Hale Fire Glass. I've been working with glass for about 21 years. I spent a lot of the last 17 years teaching the art but last spring I joined a (very cool!) local art community and am trying to do more creating. I've used Square for about 4 years, mostly at art shows, but now it's what I use for sales in the boutique part of my studio. I look forward to learning more about how to use Square's more advanced features.

@tehale wow your work is stunning!!
