Decimal Quantities Beta is live!

[SQPhil]

We've heard your feedback and we are proud to announce that the beta for decimal quantities is now live for iOS! (Please note that this feature is not yet available on Android or for Invoices)

Decimal quantities enables you to sell exact quantities in the unit(s) of measure you use to conduct your business—ounces, pounds, yards, gallons, etc. By previewing decimal quantities on your Square Point of Sale, you will be able to:

• Create items to sell in decimal quantities
• Check out customers purchasing items in decimal quantities
• View decimal quantity items in your cart summary
• Review sales by item quantities
• Refund items with decimal quantities
• Issue and display digital and printed receipts with decimal quantities
• Review your inventory and transactions with decimal quantities in Dashboard
  
  

By participating in this beta and providing us with feedback, you will directly influence and improve this feature. If interested, please comment to this post or reach out to betafeedback@squareup.com. From there, we'll reach out directly with the next steps! 

Thanks!

Hi all - Our feature to bill by decimal quantities is starting to roll out now. Keep an eye out for the feature being available in your dashboard over the next week or so.

I want to try Beta

[AndreaRg]

Hi, I run a fabric shop and I need to sell my product in fractions. How I can download the beta? Actually I’m using square to process credit card payments, but would like to use it for a POS.

[Jj83]

I just received a square station and would like this to be able to charge for items by the pound

[ShermanFamFarm]

Please add us to the beta testing.  We definitely need the decimal feature.

Thanks,

Chris

This still does not include having a scale directly linked to the POS system though correct?   We use square right now just for credit card transactions because you have yet to be able to integrate a scale to the system and I sell food by the pound.  My employees are great but I dont trust anyone to always put in the correct weight.

[SQPhil]

Hi, 

Scale integration is something we are looking into, but you are correct in that scale integration is not supported with this beta. 

Thanks for inquiring! 

[BartVerMulm]

i do have users on ios and would like to be part of the beta test through this account.  Thanks!

[SQPhil]

Thanks for replying back! I went ahead and turned this feature on for your account. You will now be able to sell using decimal quantities on your iOS devices!

Hi Laura! 

Thank you for your interest in this beta. I have turned the feature on for your account. Please keep an eye out for an email with further instructions on how to get started. 

[HappyHeart]

I would love to be invited to use this! I bill by 1/4 hour increments for some of my work and my invoices look so sloppy without this capability!

Thanks,

Jessica

[SQPhil]

@HappyHeart and @Wagyuru . Thanks for inquiring about this beta! I have turned on the feature for both your accounts. Please keep an eye out for a second email with further instructions on how to get started.

Would like to be involved in beta testing.  We sell in multiple UOM including each, per meter, grams, etc

[SQPhil]

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in this beta! I went ahead and enabled this feature on your account. Please keep an eye out for a separate email with further information on how to get started!

[Wagyuru]

We would like to sign up to be a beta user/tester for this decimal selling. We sell products by the pound. Please let us know what we need to do to get started. 

[Wagyuru]

Hi there, I'm an employee of Wagyuru and we are having issues logging on to the app. We are set up with our emails as employees but we can't sign on to the beta app. Where do I add our emails to the database?

[OrangeFarmer]

Used for the first time this weekend. Didnt miss a beat after switching over from PayPal in one account. In other account, switched a few items over and users transitioned seamlessly. Reports look good as well, better than previous method with square. 

[SQPhil]

Thanks for sharing that feedback and I'm happy to hear that the transition was seamless!

[chocolatecanopy]

Please include us in beta testing.

[CoopTS]

@SQPhil sign us up! We are a cooperative of farmers, selling at farmers markets and we can't wait to try this out.

Will this feature be available for online boutique locations as well?

THis is perfect! I sell herbs and right now can only sell by half ounce increments because of the math involved. I was just saying the other day that i hoped square would come up with a way to price by the weight! YAY!
