Square Neighborhoods Ramping up

We're really ramping up Neighborhoods at our University Location this week. Has anyone else had best practices on promoting this, or are you letting it grow organically?

This appears to be a Square x Cash App collaboration.

https://cash.app/help/us/en-us/670-neighborhoods-on-cash-app

I don't see much more than the title and a few stories about local businesses growing in the community.

Can you elaborate?

I DESPISE this program. I don’t know what it is. It’s offensive. How dare Square insert themselves into my transactions with no heads up and no opt-in.

i have attempted to get out of it now FIVE times and it’s still on my machine.

Hi @WaveRider, I want to confirm your business has now been completely removed rom Neighborhoods.

From what you described, it sounds like your participation was paused previously. This meant customers could still discover your business on the map and redeem their Local Cash with you at no cost to your business. I'm sorry that distinction wasn't clear.

We take seller feedback seriously and I know our Neighborhoods team (tagging in @jbb12b) would appreciate the opportunity to hear more about your experience and how Square could have handled this better. If you're open to a conversation, please let Josh @jbb12b knows via direct message to coordinate. You can also find out more about what Neighborhoods is here.

Additionally, I have removed part of your comment as it violates our Community Code of Conduct. Please consider this a warning against your future activity. I understand this has been a frustrating experience for you, but I also want to make sure we are maintaining a helpful and professional environment in the Community as much as possible. We want to hear from our sellers on what is and is not working, but we ask that the conversations are kept productive and civil.
