Inventory & Overstock location Management

DinaLRosenberg — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 20:32:57 GMT

Yesterday we were cleaning out a closet in our shop and found 5 "gratitude' candles with a burn by date of 11/2021.... whellppppp...

There goes that inventory.

This is just a real world example of how difficult it is to manage overstock location with square items/inventory. There is no place for us retailers to memorialize where items are located within the store and where overstock is. I understand we can create a spreadsheet with that information.. and I know many retailers on here that are incredibly tech proficient that have done that.

However, if Square is to be a robust retail ecosystem- they MUST solve for this.

Long time feature request badly needed. Hope it gets some love and attention this year.

This would be a great feature! Also, being able to have the same item in multiple locations inside the same store - I'm not sure how the system would know which section of the store the item was in before the sale.
