Transactions appear and do not post in sales with balance showing zero

My transactions are appearing past few days, however the sales report and balance shows zero. I have made not changes to my preferences and have had the balance always transfer to my account.

Hey there, @MonAmi -

Always nice to see a new face in the Community and sorry to read that it isn't on the best of terms. Let's get you in the right direction.

For something account specific like this, I am going to recommend reaching out to our CS Team directly. They can take a look at the payment & account details, so you can get your funds to show in your balance.

Hello,

I did contact Customer Service and after about an hour of troubleshooting the issue still exists. I was hoping someone else has experienced this same issue. I will try to call them back and give it another shot.

I found two temporary work arounds for sales not posting and the balance not appearing.

1). If I issue a refund to the original sale, it forces the credit charge to resend and it will then appear as a balance in my account. I confirmed with a few customers they have received the original charge on their credit card, although it is not posting as a live sale in my account until I issue the refund. It appears the outbound charge only appears to the customer and not to Square.

2). If I use the free Square app (white logo), I experience the issue of transactions appearing but no money in my balance. However, if I use the free version of the Restaurant Manager app (orange logo), my sales post at the end of the day when I run a close of business. The transactions appear after each one occurs, however will only post once I run the close of business. This only works in the restaurant manager and I am unable to get sales to post in the basic app.
