Square Register Vendor Input for New or Edited Items

XFMuseum — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:01:06 GMT

Hello, I have a gift shop and would like my staff to receive new and reordered merchandise. When they go to create a new item or update the item inventory in the Square Register there is no longer a spot to enter the Vendor information. Am I just looking in the wrong area to input this information?

I have Square Register with Square for Retail Plus.

Thank you

Unfortunately at this time I believe it's still a wish list feature to be able to add all of the information via Square Register.

It's definitely one of the features I'm most looking forward to as it could streamline processing shipments, for now I typically add all of the new items the day before a shipment comes in.

I also typically process all of my orders personally so that I can ensure my costs of goods and pricing match up to whatever the current pricing is. (Stuff is increasing in cost quicker than I can change prices right now!)

Thanks for reply! Glad to know I wasn't going crazy, but this seems such a basic feature I thought for sure I was just looking at it incorrectly. I manage a small museum and have a shop manager we receives our merch, but she's not super tech savy so I do all the reporting, inventory, etc., but she enters new merchandise using the register. At least this now makes sense as to why I have so many products with the vendor info missing!

And I hear you on the pricing, its gone completely bananas the past few months.

I am only able to add vendor information on inventory received if I enter it from a computer, not the register. This would be a great addition to the register functions!
