Product Updates

Hoping everyone had a great Halloween and that we are all cruising into the end of the year with smooth sailing! Here is the October 2024 roundup of all the new product updates posted in the US Seller Community.

Managers and team members who have the permissions are now able to review, approve and decline team member schedules, timecards, and availability requests directly in the Team app and Dashboard app.

We’ve recently created a new configuration tool that allows you to choose your brand preferences, preview them across surfaces, and seamlessly update them across multiple locations. We are initially launching this centralized Brand Editor with previews of Receipts and X2 POS Buyer Display, but will expand to other products like Invoices, Appointments, Loyalty, and more early in 2025.

You can now get a birds-eye view of your entire business’ performance. Sales trends reporting can be used to get an idea of how your business is doing by helping you identify strengths and weaknesses within your organization. It can also help you get comparative insights between each of your locations to understand how your franchisees are performing.

As you should have seen by now, we are sunsetting Square KDS on iPad, which means that to keep using the same app, you need to migrate to Android and redownload from the Google Play store. If you are strongly against moving to Android as a hardware or operating system option, we wanted to flag that you do have the ability to migrate over to our preferred partner Fresh KDS.

Sellers who are using scheduling functionality can now Interact with your schedule in a new way through day view filters. Ensure proper coverage and visualize the days ahead!

You can now calculate fees such as royalties, marketing expenditure, and more to help give you a better understanding of your business’ revenue streams. You can set custom fees under a percentage or fixed rate with the included predetermined formulas.

Is it fall, y'all? I'll tell you one thing, summer isn't over here in the sweltering southwest! I hope you are staying cool, dry, and most importantly safe wherever you are reading this from. The September 2024 roundup of all the new product updates posted in the US Seller Community is short and sweet, so let's get to it!
