I have a one-person business, with no "b&m" location, and no scheduled bills, subscriptions, regular shipments, etc. associated with the business, so there is no reason to go to a paid version. When looking through the "if you pay, you get this" lists, I recall thinking there were a couple of things that would be nice, but not necessary.

 

I don't remember what those were, so I guess they weren't all that "nice", and I can't see paying for a "package" to get them, when I can't use most of the features. 

 

Right now... I'd like to be able to get my "catalog" off my Square account app on my phone, without messing up my ability to take payments. When I got a new phone, somehow that was the default when activating Square on it. All my things are one of a kind, and although I did use the app for a sale from the catalog, it only did the charge. The item was NOT removed from my inventory until I went into my site to edit it, nor did my site in any way acknowledge the sale (I did get the payment, minus fees, from Square).

Hi Blingzandthingz,

 

Just happened to see your post and my thought may be a bit late - save your money - you can easily create and use the FREE website to start out.  See what happens and go from there.  The FREE version has quite a few features.  If you start out slow, just list a few of your most popular items - that way you won't go crazy.  Keep in mind, just having an online shop is just the beginning and does not mean instant sales - it takes time.  Also consider taking advantage of Social Media - Facebook, Instagram, etc.  You have to get your name and website out there.  Blogging and Videos are also helpful along with setting up a Google Business Profile plus Google and Bing Maps.

Hey there! 

That's pretty cool, are you a regular down at Whitby? This was posted quite some time, are you still using square?

We are still here ๐Ÿ™‚ we donโ€™t often go to Whitby, sometimes though! Our fossils are mainly found in land such as the Kellaways and south cerney.

What kind of work do you do with fossils, @ladytreeteam? I fully admit to being a big nerd about fossils. ๐Ÿค“

All sorts! We have a local fossilised coral reef called Tisbury Coral that we find/cut/polish and use in a lot of our pieces. We also use Dino bone, various ammonite species and more ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi All, new to the group. I just got my business established in January 2024. Curious how to incorporate consent forms within the square app. Iโ€™ve signed up with jot form but canโ€™t get it connected to my square? I do not have a website only fb and instagram

Hi Eternallyembrac,

 

Perhaps providing more details as to how you plan to use JotForm and Square.  @maxpete  provided a link that provides good info on connecting the two services however, you didn't say how you plan to sell - only that you plan to use a Consent Form.  For example, do you plan to also include selling something on this form ?

Hey @Eternallyembrac Just following back up on this post. Hope things are going well! 

Did you get your consent forms sorted out? Curious if you were able to get unblocked here.

 

Let us know how things are going and what set up steps you took with Jotform. Maybe your lessons learned could help the next Square seller too ๐Ÿ˜‰
