Hey @Markpriestley16, thanks for joining the Seller Community! 

 

What Square systems and hardware are you using? For example Square Point of Sale on a Square Stand or Square for Restaurants on the Square Register? Just so I can have a better idea of your set up. 

 

I tested out the settings on the Point of Sale app > More > Settings > Orders > Alerts, and at the moment we don't have the option to edit the notification sound or repeat it. 

 

There was a recent update to the Square Point of Sale application that now has notifications running via Push Notifications on iOS (previously notification were triggered by the app only) and should play louder if the volume of the device is louder as well.  

 

Otherwise, depending on what device you are using you could edit the setting so that the notification stays on the screen until you manually remove it. 

 

For example from an iOS device - you can enable a notification on the Lock Screen, Notification Centre & Banners. And from there you can change the banner style to 'persistent' rather than 'tempory' so that the notification stays in place. 

 

The looping of the alert would be a feature request for the moment though.

hi alegra thanks you for getting back to me 

 

we use square register and square for restaurants 

 

we have set the alert up but only goes once 

 

we have the alert come up for new orders but we have the till turn onto standby as we have more than one user so could be missed untill you log back in 

 

we have set it up to print straight away but we want to go to kds but again orders could be missed 

 

we have also just linked uber just eat and delliveroo  with square though deliverect and taken the tables away but all of them tablets and systems  beep or make a noise like you have a new order online you action it 

 

thanks
