Hey everyone! We’re kicking off a brand new year in the Square Community — and January came in strong. ✨
With fresh goals, big plans, and plenty of “let’s try this differently” energy, the conversations across the Community have already set the tone for what 2026 is going to look like. From sharing lessons learned in 2025 to helping troubleshoot those first-of-the-year questions, you’ve shown (again) that this space runs on collaboration, generosity, and real support. 💙
Every month, we love recognizing the members who make an impact through their knowledge, encouragement, and consistent participation. And starting the year off right, we’re excited to celebrate our January Members of the Month — the folks who’ve jumped in early and helped others start the year strong. 🎉

🚀 Voices That Shaped the Conversation
Some of the most impactful posts this month came from members who leaned into feedback. From well-articulated feature requests to insightful commentary on product discussions, these sellers didn’t just share opinions — they shared perspective.
That kind of thoughtful input helps us identify patterns, understand real-world impact, and advocate internally for what sellers need most. We appreciate the time and clarity you brought to the table.
📍 @Maisonfleurant - This is such a great conversation to start — thank you for being open and putting it out there. You’re definitely not alone in this, and I know there are other members who appreciated you asking about ways to boost online sales.
📍 @Cskylar - We see you adding Feature Requests that would be helpful for other restaurant owners. 👀 Thanks for contributing and being here!
📍 @ehflower - Thank you for bringing this up. It's always good to hear how folks are using our current systems and ways to think outside of the box for something that seems so simple, but actually is not!
The momentum we’re seeing already is exciting. New ideas are being shared. Thoughtful feedback is flowing. Members are stepping up to help one another navigate challenges and opportunities alike. That’s what makes this Community work.
To our January standouts: thank you for setting the pace for the year ahead and for continuing to make this space valuable, welcoming, and real.
Here’s to building on this energy as we move into February and beyond. 🚀
