Hot switching between accounts (different businesses)

[thenewheadspa]

Hello

My wife & I each have our own businesses and we use Square Appointments for our scheduling and I'm wondering if it's possible to hot switch between accounts in the app without having to logout and log back in? If not, is this on the roadmap to add as a product feature?

Hey there, @thenewheadspa - 

Welcome back to the Community!

Do you use the different email addresses for your different businesses? I know some sellers will use one email, but have different businesses under "Locations". It's easier to switch between locations. 

If you have different emails addresses, unfortunately there isn't an easier way to easily switch between those accounts. Since we don't have the feature you're looking for, I can suggest you dropping this over on our Feature Request Board. While I cannot guarantee this would be added to the Product Roadmap in the future, this will get in front of other sellers and our Product Team.

Thank you - yes we use different email addresses and can't use the locations feature.

I have put in a feature request, hopefully this post can help get others liking the request to get it prioritised!

Love that this is being brought up. Super important, I think. 
I actually was just looking into how I could do this because I’m having to split businesses due to needing separate EINs. It would be SUPER helpful to be able to easily toggle (similar to how it can be done between Google accounts, etc.) 
It would even be helpful if 2 different accounts could be open in two tabs so that both accounts could be worked on in a controlled environment.

Fully agree, this would be such a nice upgrade

I can see how this would be awesomebut it took like 15 years to get switching locations added, so I wouldn't hold my breath on switching between independent businesses.  🤓
 
Thankfully, nowadays, with modern operating systems, it is super easy to have the OS save your passwords and emails.  In Square on iOS, I simply need to click the email I want to sign in with.  While not super fast, I can switch between our 3 businesses in under 30 seconds.

We can only hope this post and other ones like it get enough attention for Square to build these feature
