Hi, @curlym ! 😁

Yes, you can run a tab in Square using the “Open Tickets” feature in Square Point of Sale. This allows you to add multiple transactions to a single ticket over time and then close it out with one payment at the end.

Enable Open Tickets:
- Open your Square Point of Sale app
- Go to Settings > Open Tickets
- Toggle it on
Create a Ticket (start the tab):
- Ring up the first sale
- Tap “Save Ticket” instead of checking out
- Give the ticket a name (e.g., customer name or table number)
Add to the Ticket Throughout the Day:
- Open the same ticket and add new items
- Keep saving until the customer is ready to pay
Close the Tab:
- Go to Tickets
- Tap the open ticket
- Tap “Charge” to take payment when ready

I hope this helps!
