As a Passionate Square Champion, I wanted to share my positive experience with the new print labels feature from my dashboard. Since expanding from a farmers market boutique to a full brick-and-mortar store with 1,500 items (not including variations) in each location, maintaining accurate pricing has been a significant challenge. I’ve previously used price guns, ordered labels from Uline, and relied on a combination of Word templates and Excel sheets for mail merges—all of which were overly complex and often required my direct involvement due to limited staff access to the necessary tools. When I opened my second location, I decided to include a new Square Register bundle that came with the Zebra ZD4011 printer. While I had experimented with the Dymo printer before, it didn’t integrate with the POS system as seamlessly as the Zebra does. Here’s why I’m thrilled with the Zebra ZD4011: Ease of Use: Printing labels is straightforward, and the integration with the POS system is smooth. Flexibility: I can print labels by category, purchase order, or even by scanning a barcode. Simplified Setup: No need for trying to integrate your traditional desktop printer or pricing guns—just a USB cable, a roll of labels, and a power cord into this printer slighter larger than a reciept printer. If you’re struggling with accurate product pricing or frequently changing labels, I highly recommend giving the Zebra ZD4011 a try. It has significantly streamlined my labeling process, and I’m even ordering another one for my farmers market location today.

Hey everyone, I've been on a journey for the past five years to automate my business processes but, like many of us, lack the coding expertise (and budget for hiring a developer) to get it all done. That's where ChatGPT came in—helping me create a Google Apps Script that automates specific catalog data exports from Square right into Google Sheets. Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned and built with the hope that others can benefit and maybe even join in to improve this tool further! About This Project This project is essentially a Google Sheet with built-in Apps Script that connects directly to Square’s API. All you need is a Square API key from your developer dashboard. The script will pull catalog data into Google Sheets and organize it across columns. It’s something I actively use in my own business, and while it’s still a work-in-progress, it’s saved me hours of manual data handling already. Getting Started Make a Copy of the Sheet: Start by making a copy of the Google Sheet provided. From there, you’ll need to insert your API key to enable Square API access. Understand the Basics of API Keys: This script requires an API key from your Square Developer account. Keep in mind that API keys are powerful and must be protected. If used improperly, they can access a lot of data, so ensure you understand the basics of API security. Using the Script: The script will pull and populate the following data fields automatically: Item ID Item Name Variation ID Price Stock Availability by Location Image URLs Category, Modifiers, and Custom Attributes And many more… Some fields might not be fully functional yet (like advanced custom attributes), but I’m not too focused on those at the moment. Feel free to adjust or contribute if any fields are a priority for you. How to Use the Square API Menu: Set API Key: Click on Square API > Set API Key to enter your API token. Set Email Address: This allows the script to send notifications when a data refresh completes successfully or encounters errors. Start Processing: This pulls and refreshes catalog data whenever needed. Set Daily Timer: This sets the script to refresh data daily at a specified time, automating the entire process. Proceed with Caution: While I’m sharing this tool, please use it responsibly. I’m not responsible if something breaks or if API keys are mishandled. Always test with dummy data if you’re unsure. Opening Up for Collaboration This tool is far from perfect and still a bit rough around the edges, so I welcome anyone interested in refining it. I believe that sharing tools like this can empower others to grow their business acumen without needing to rely on expensive development resources. I’ll paste the code below for review, but please note that I’m not here to troubleshoot individual issues. This is a community project, and I encourage anyone willing to share improvements, additional functionality, or even just feedback. Happy automating, and looking forward to seeing how others might enhance this! Thanks to @bryan-square on the developer forums for the assists that got this across the finish line for me to a level where I can being to automate ordering and other regular activities with a headless script that pulls all the details I need to "get started" hopefully I can start to get vendor information next 🙂
