Temporarily Suspend Services

[JennyEvenKeel]

We will likely be closed through April. Wondering if there is a way to suspend all Square services, such as loyalty, payroll, etc. without losing all of the information. I know they are refunding all fees for March, do you think April will be the same? We are a small coffee shop in Portland. Thanks

A lot of Square's services can be suspended, or unsubscribed to, without loss of data, and with the ability to restart them again in the future.  Here's a link to a thread where this is discussed, and it contains links to other, more specific discussions of this subject.

How do we suspend sales of items if we must close temporarily?

Are you looking to pause in-store sales through the POS or online sales?

I work with Wendy W.  

We are running a school sale and we are looking to close down the ability for people to make transactions after 9 am tomorrow .  We don't want to accept any transactions after that point.

Okay, for in-store sales through the POS or online sales? 

[wrightw]

This is for our online sales.  We are not doing any in person sales for this event.

Okay, I'd turn off  Accept Online order from Settings > Checkout then enable it again when you're ready to accept orders.
