Hi Sellers! 👋 We’ve made some updates to Square Online Checkout payment links over the past few weeks to help drive recurring revenue and improve the tipping experience.
Generate recurring revenue with itemized subscriptions
You can now accept weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual payments for items in your catalog from multiple customers with a single payment link. Learn more →
This update also enables you to:
- Apply discounts to items sold via subscriptions on payment links
- Apply auto sales tax to item subscriptions solid via payment links
- Allow buyers to purchase item subscriptions with shipping fulfillment
How it works: You can sell an item with a subscription through Square Online Checkout. From Subscriptions in Dashboard, add a checkout link to a plan. The checkout link is then available on the Square Online Checkout dashboard, where you can preview the link for the subscribable item. Learn more about how to create subscriptions in your Square Dashboard.
