Accepting Personal Checks as Payment

Sbyrd5525 — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 16:42:49 GMT

i am a brick-and-mortar retail business. we would like square to have the ability to limit a refund by days when a transaction is paid by personal check. the purpose is to prevent fraud. example: a customer makes a large transaction. the customer returns in a few days to return items. they ask for cash. their check has not cleared yet and/or it is returned as nsf. my cashiers overlook that the first transaction was paid by personal check (this can easily happen). so, we need some sort of safeguard.

thanks

That is a great request that I don't think I have seen before, but definitely makes sense. I always keep an eye on payment types for return/refunds but I could see someone accidentally overlooking it. Thankfully we stopped taking checks in 2021 and it was such a timesaver for line control.
