Free Square POS Question - Refunds

SZCMASS978 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 18:52:29 GMT

Hi everyone. New user, a bit of background: my business is a mobile business with no actual store front. I sell sports trading cards and memorabilia at trade shows monthly. I do anywhere from 1-3 shows a month.

I just started using the free POS app as for now a monthly fee doesn't make sense with my business. I want to track through the POS any fees I incur for setting up (table fee charged by show promotor) and any purchases I make from my customers (not often, but sometimes it happens).

How can I run these through the POS program, if at all? I'd like this to be reflected if possible through the sales reports to give me a better, cleaner picture of sales for the day. Right now I'm recording these on a sheet of paper and combining into an Excel file.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to Square @SZCMASS978 !

I'm wondering if you could utilize the "Pay in/out" function for this. To be honest, I am NOT certain this features exists in the free Square app, but it's worth a shot.

To set this button up, go to your "Edit POS Layout" in the menu section of your POS and see if you can select "action" like show here -

If so, then select then select the "Pay in/out" button and add that to your menu. This will allow you to then "pay out" the cost of the table.

Hope this helps!

It appears this feature is only in the paid version, unless I am completely blind and missed it.

Thank you for pointing it out though. I appreciate your help.
