how do I recover deleted items

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear about your items.

There's unfortunately no way to restore deleted items from your Square account - if you delete them, they're gone.

The best way to safeguard against accidentally deleting your items is to create a backup by regularly exporting your item library as a spreadhseet - if you have it backed up in this manner, you can simply import the spreadsheet to restore your items.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help here!

Hey there, @Shargior!

Just jumping in here with an update that might interest you!

Square now offers the ability to archive items instead of deleting them. By archiving, you can remove items from your Item Library to prevent them from being sold, without permanently deleting the items and losing all associated data and stock history. You can learn more about archiving items on our Support Centre.

I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any other questions!
