Can I have one overall inventory when using mobile locations?

[FAMI]

We have used Square for our off-site sales for some time, and are now switching to it for our only POS system. We have one main store, and go to several festivals a year. Each festival lasts 3-4 days, and we take merchandise from our store. What is not sold is returned to our store inventory. How do I manage our inventory with Square? Is there any way to keep the inventory at the main location, but have sales at the temporary mobile location deducted from that inventory?

Hi @FAMI, thanks for bringing this up and glad to hear you're putting your trust in us as your only POS provider. 💯

It sounds like your main concern is being able to temporarily monitor your on-location inventory without affecting the main store's inventory reports. While we don't have this function built in to our basic inventory feature set, you might find a solution with the following:

• Inventory Plus — Part or Square for Retail.

• App Marketplace — Head over to the Items & Inventory section for a closer look at inventory services that we've partnered with.

Hopefully, one of those options will be useful. In addition, I'll flag this request with our Product Liaison team — we'll circle back with any updates or solutions that are available.

If any other sellers have been in a similar position and have pro tips on what's worked — feel free to share! 🙂

Thank you for your response, Tom. I have a lot to learn, so will probably be asking more questions, especially since I am not as internet savvy as some.
