Yes, we have a math & reading center and lot of our students pays their tuition by credit card each month. Every month we have to manually enter each card number and process the charge. Is there a way where we can enter their card number with the Square payment systemso that it's processed automatically each month.

There are other companies which does this but the cost factor is too high. Thank you

Putting a hold on funds like car rental agencies do.

I run a business which requires a nonrefundable deposit in order to confirm an appointment. This deposit would be made over the phone.

Is there anyway to put a hold for the deposit amount and then after the appointment, releasing the hold and swiping the card for the total amount owed (including the deposit). Thereby saving me the one plus percent square charges for manually entered information versus swiping the card.

We don't support deposits in the Square app, but we know it's important to you and many other sellers and we're currently working on the feature. Great question!

I am also interested in being able to setup recurring monthly payments through Square/Square appointments as a membership fee.

Subscriptions

WRComputers — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 23:06:56 GMT

Can you set up a subscrition for reocurring billing?

is there a way to store a frequent customers same card so i can charge them quicker/easier?

I would love to be able to charge an amount on the register and go to my customers profiles with their usual card info stored so I could just have them sign at the end and not have to have them give me their card and put it thru the reader every time....or perhaps just go to the customers profile and charge them from there from a card saved on file..I wasnt able to figure this out after messing around and searching online for a while. Thanks!

Great question!

While Square doesn't currently offer subscription, recurring payments, or storing customer payment cards - these are some of our top requested features, and we're actively building a solution. 😉

While I can't offer a concrete timeline for these features, but I wanted to let you know that I hear you, and we're on it! I will be sure to update this thread if anything changes on this front.

Same here. I offer membership options to my clients, and it's a pain in the rear, writing little notes on their appointments to remind them to pay.

I am also interested in this feature. Especially since it is costing me extra $$ in services charges to manually enter the cc number each month.

Great news everyone - we listened, and this feature is available now! I know this will be a huge time saver for a ton of our sellers!

To get started, recurring payments comes in two parts: saving a Card on File and creating a Recurring Invoices. The Card on File portion allows you to save a customer's card for future billing. While the Recurring Invoices feature allows you to schedule repeating invoices. Together, you can automate recurring billing.

For step by step instructions, please check out this product update that details these features. Also, you can check out more details on our Support Center. Please feel free to post any follow up questions you might have in this thread!

I don't want to send an invoice every month to church members. They want to simply be able to sign up and have the same amount of money be donated each month for a year or any other amount of time that they set. Is that possible? Can they, for instance, set it up so they can donate $100 on the 5th day of the month for 16 months? The ability to set amount, date, and frequency would be super helpful.

Hi @tohuvahobu, great questions! Yes, this can be done, but you will have to take care of the initial setup.

You can invoice a set number of times or indefinitely. In addition, you can set the amount and frequency at regular intervals. For example, if you'd like to set up a 16-month plan for $100 monthly payments, you can choose the frequency as monthly and specify that the invoices should stop after the 16th payment.

Hope this helps answer your question. 🙂
