Double receipts when closing drawer

alexandriak — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 19:15:21 GMT

With the new cash management features I've been noticing that when I close a drawer it double prints the receipt AND the receipt is missing the end drawer date. I have to manually write the date and time. Is anyone else seeing this?

Hello there @alexnadriak

I haven't seen any other similar reports. Would you mind sharing an photo of how the receipt is printed and how it should look like?

Also, to get ahead of the game a bit here, can you please share which Device (Make, Model, OS version) you're experiencing this and if the Square Point of Sale is up-to-date?

Hi there!

So the receipts should look exactly like this BUT with the closing date at the top. So it should read August 19, 2024 at 9am - August 20, 2024 at 8:20am but you'll see that today's date when I ended the drawer isn't printed. It should also only print one copy but is printing two. We have one receipt printer.

iPad 8th gen, square register stand (the black and white swivel stand), iOS 17.2. Square app is up to date.

@alexandriak, thank you for sharing the picture above. When your customers check out, are two receipts printing as well? Also, do you have multiple printer profiles set up on your iPad?

Check out this article for more information on Printer Profiles.

Thank you for the clarification here. Looks like the team recently released an update with bug fixes for the Square Point of Sale application. Can you confirm if your Square app is running version 6.49.2 or later? This definitely looks like bug, but I have been unable to locate other reports.

If you are on the latest version then I would recommend uninstalling the Square App and installing it again (please do this at the close of day, so your drawer isn't affected as well as any pending payments).

@alexandriak ;

I had this issue before but I had my Receipt printer connected multiple ways. I had it connected by USB and by Network. I thought I was using 1 profile but I assigned the printer by 2 methods (USB and Network). Once I unplugged the USB I was getting 1 Receipt and looked at my printer profile again and noticed I had this other profile.

Also check to see when the printer is printing Automatically or Manually. Then check what all that Printer is suppose to print (Tickets Receipts etc), maybe if printing a Ticket and Receipt it prints 2. Just using that for an example. Maybe like Online Orders and Receipt.... why it would do that I have no idea but could it be the reason?? IDK just giving you somethings to look at.

even after the update it's still printing the double receipts and they still don't have the closing date and time of the drawer printed on them. I will try reinstalling the app friday.
