What’s one Square feature you ignored for months, but now can’t live without?

Hi everyone! Would love to hear something you can't live without 🙂 Might inspire myself or others to start using that feature if we don't already!

SUBSCRIPTIONS all day long!!!! Payroll is pretty great too - we were doing that ourselves before and this is much easier to have everything integrated.

I really really want to get subscriptions going.... we need a little more functionality before we can pull the trigger.

"Payroll" while I don't exactly ignore it, I may take it for granted. It's been a life saver and Square Payroll does an excellent job!

This was going to be my answer as well!   We just started using Square payroll at the first of the year, and I'm wondering why I waited to so long.

Holy Cow- great question!

 

When we started entering inventory we entered them like absolute donkeys.

 

We sell a ton of crystals & minerals.. many one-off pieces. When we first started we'd label them as $312 specimen instead of weight and measurements LOLOL... big mistake.

Square Marketing....With shifting my business to more online I don't know what I'd do without it.

Just started setting up Menu's and I can see how it will help in the future.  Waiting on the menu update to come through and then I will play some more!!!

What a great question!

I ignored Low Stock alerts FOR EVER! One day I ran out of product, set it up and the fact it runs on autopilot now and alerts me when we're running low on product is incredible.

 

FYI I set up my Supplies as items and mark them as $0.00 and plug in the amount of inventory I have. Then, when I use these supplies, I expense it so it counts down.

 I love the time tracking for staff.  It is game changing versus how we used to do it.  Also the reports, especially Item sales, category sales.  They are used almost every day in some aspect or another, whether for cost analysis, forecasting or just making sure I am sane.  there is a new "Reconciliation report" or maybe I just found it.  That seems that could come in handy also.  Square has come a long way since I started using it in 2020.  Improvements frequently (however, I would like a little more heads up on where sometimes small things get moved or changed)  but I guess it keeps me on my toes.
