Feature Request - Category Descriptions

jeanette — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:19:48 GMT

Hello. Since we can't add text sections to category pages in Square Online, I would love to have a description field added to the category form that displays at the top of item listings on category pages. 🤔

Example

Category Name/Title: Paper-Bead Stretch Bracelets

Category Description: Description: Our paper-bead stretch bracelets feature hand-rolled, hand-glazed, paper beads. We've made almost 6,000 beads since we started this product line. The beads are water-resistant, not water-proof. Please do not shower, bathe, or swim in them.

I came here to request this feature also. Itʻs hard to make a category title meaningful without making it way too long. I would like to be able to add a short description that appears when a person selects the category, above or to the side of the list of items.

Just popping by to see if there had been any response on this from Square. I hope itʻs a feature under consideration.

@BethanyReynolds @jeanette

Nothing new as of yet. When we're ready to launch this feature, we'll make an announcement and notify this thread.

Make sure you subscribe up top for the latest 🙂

I agree! This would be a great feature. I would like to be able to add a short description of why the items are in a particular category.

Don't hold your breath. The devs aren't great at adding customer requests. The ability to arrange the items in your inventory by date has been requested since 2016 and is still not a feature. It's on the online store but not in the inventory that you add new things to.
