How do I do bulk/mass charging (300+) of the same item with different saved cards on file?

We are a spirits company and charge club members 4x a year with their cards saved on file with the square app. 

 

Right now, we individually charge each club member for the club package item using the "card on file" as payment. It takes about 6-8 hours to charge all of our club members. We do it manually and that also allows for errors like accidental double charging and skipping customers. 

 

Is there a way through square to charge everyone on a list or check a box to charge them all at once? Everyone who is getting charged can be added to the same "Group" in square if that helps. Everyone is also getting charged for the exact same item. 

 

Is there a good app that can integrate to allow for bulk/mass charging?

 

Thanks.

Hi @aaronober.  After reading your post, I was wondering if Square Subscriptions would work for you?  You set up plans that you can then subscribe customers to, as well as put them in emails and on your website/store for future customers to subscribe to.  Of course, the initial part is the work — that of subscribing your current customers who are part of your current plan.  But after that, it should do what you want it to do automatically.  Of course, this doesn’t handle the shipping/delivery/pickup part, but you didn’t ask about that so I wasn’t sure if that would be important or not.

 

Here’s a link to more information on Subscriptions.

 

Let me know if that works or if you want me to help find something else.

Hi @aaronober in case this is still a need for you and the built-in Square tools are not sufficient please take a look at at Submatic (submatic.io).  I founded Submatic and we work with a number of Wineries using Square to power Wine Clubs.  Our software handles recurring billing (via your existing Square payment account) and application of the benefits associated with the club.  

 

Please let me know if you're still looking for a solution, thanks!
