Hello Seller Community!
On Wednesday, August 18th at 5PM BST, we hosted a Square Online Fulfilment Q&A with :
- Kevin Taniguchi, an engineer on the Shipping & Store Setup Team
- Alex Smith, the Product Manager for the Shipping & Store Setup Team.
- Faheem Zaman, the Product Manager for Pickup & Delivery
- Lisa Fong, the Product Manager for Self-Serve Ordering
Together, they have answered all your questions about Square Online Fulfilment settings, from shipping to pickup, delivery and self-serve ordering.
You can learn more about Square Online here.
Ask us about Square Online Fulfilment
A few example questions:
- How can I restrict my shipping destinations?
- What’s the best fulfilment setup for a retail business/restaurants, etc.?
We’d also love to hear what new shipping & fulfilment features would you like to see!
Note on account-specific questions: For your privacy and security, we are not able to address issues related to specific account status details in our public forums. If you need account assistance, please contact our Customer Success team and they'll be able to take a deeper dive.

Thank you everyone who participated in our Q&A yesterday and special thanks to @alexws @faheem @ktaniguchi-sq and @lfong for joining us. You’ve given us great suggestions on how we can improve Square Online site and our Square offerings as well, and we’ll be sure to share this with the wider team.
To wrap up, here’s a summary of a few themes I saw in the questions:
Integration with Royal Mail
We completely understand that fulfilling shipping orders without an integration with Royal Mail is very tedious and laborious. We don’t have a firm date that we can share at the moment, but it is a feature we are actively scoping. We’d love to include you in our beta of this integration once it is ready to get your early feedback.
Order email and customer communication
While Square Messaging is not available in the UK at the moment, you can add a personal touch to your customer communications by editing your store emails.
Automatic discounts & more coupon types
We are actively working on allowing for group discounts, automatic discounts (similar to how discounts work on Point of Sale app) and specific coupon types for fulfilment methods. We do not have a firm timeline for when these will be available, but I would encourage you to check out our Beta Community to join and potentially get access to new features first when we test them out.
More granular fulfilment settings
Features like setting fulfilment at an item level, charging by postal code, pre-order or setting cut-off time have been requested by a number of sellers. We’re actively working on rolling out a number of these, so please keep an eye for future Product Updates (and don’t forget to join our Beta Community to test our new feature as well).

Is there a way we delay the review requests for pre order items, without switching off the auto review email function. It confuses our customers when they pre-order and buy something then get a review request a few weeks later, but the item hasn't been dispatched yet. Many thanks

Hi @Emma_ it's not a major deal breaker but might be something the teams can build in if they are planning developing further the pre-ordering functionality. Many thanks.

Hi
I have successfully published my online shop but now need to set up the areas to which we will deliver i.e. England and Wales - which I have selected from the drop down box. Do I now need to enter every postcode in those countries individually as there will be thousands of them.
Regards
Christine

You need to differentiate - deliver and ship - I assume you can ship to the whole of the United Kingdom and deliver to local postcodes yourself?

Hey @chrisbaughen thanks for your post. I'd be happy to help, but as @Twiggy said, you may need to specify if you will be shipping or delivering your items. Once you can provide that information, i'd be happy to further assist.
