Square invoice accrual method

[SamuelDesgagne1]

Hi, 

Talk about that in the general group but got no touch so i'm asking here for a feature.

As of right now, when you are creating an invoice, the invoice is counted at the moment you receive the payment when it should be counted at the date you choose for the invoice. Or at least, the date the invoice was created. So i ask : 

- Being able to set ourselves a date on an invoice

- Being able to modify the date in the edit option to resend the corrected invoice

- Default date would be invoice creation date

Also,

I understand that Square money come from credit card transaction, but that's so annoying.

Would it be possible to add an option to charge the fees to the client if he really want to pay by credit card. I don't know... On big invoice, that's a lot that we loose... As why i use another system also for those invoice that i want to be paid cash or by cheque.

As for right now, you are forced to ship the invoice with a preselected credit card option or at least a gift card option. The work around is to check only the gift card option as no enterprise that make buisness with me will understand the giftcard option and then link bank info in the file attachment. 

So if you want to add : 

- being able to "not check" a payment/charge method at first sending?

- Option to charge the fee of credit card processing to the clients?

Be free to comment if i'm not clear or if it could helps you! Give some likes! ❤️

Hi! Thanks for reaching out! I'm a little confused about the date selector as our invoices should show the date an invoice is created, the due date for the payment, and the date the invoice was actually paid. None of these can be edited, though, to protect reporting accuracy. 

To answer your question about surcharges, make sure you are able to do this within your province laws, but a lot of sellers add a surcharge onto the sale in the form of a tax labeled "surcharge."

Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂

It's important as we are required to. Here's another link that states it.

"Farmers, fishers, and self-employed commission agents can use the cash method or the accrual method to report income. All other self-employment income must be reported using the accrual method."

As a business that has passed over $100,000 annually through Square, I think this issue is important enough that we will be leaving their service behind based on the advice of our accountant. It's unfortunate as the small square terminal work so smoothly for our employees.
