Please create a feature similar to a discount, but as a positive percentage.

We have a retail plant nursery. We sell trees at price "x". If a customer wants to pay us to plant the tree, it is "x" plus 50%. Is there a way to have square calculate the amount and add it on?

Otherwise our cashiers have to manually calculate the amount and add it on as a separate line. Adding a separate line is fine, but the calculations can be tricky for some. If the DISCOUNT feature would integrate a NEGATIVE this could work.

Good idea! Thanks for sharing why this feature would be beneficial for your biz. However, discounts don't function in that way. Currently, there's no way to add-on a percentage amount to a sale. For now, you'll need to calculate the percentage manually and add it to the sale as a custom amount.

I'l be sure to bubble this up for tracking! Check back here to keep tabs on future updates around this 🙂

Hello @FriendlyNatives !

This is a great Feature request although it sounds like it's really specific to what you do.

Do you need this feature on just the point of sale app or do you use our API on a third-party website?

Since you initially asked this question, we have implemented service charges, and you can learn more about that here.

Let me know if that option works for you or post your feature request on our ideate boards here in the community so we can keep you updated.
