Modifier inventory counts, please

[TheRealChipA]

I’m submitting this to request that — just like we have running counts for items — we be given the ability to enter counts for modifier tracking/86ing.  The ability to toggle modifiers between in/out of stock is great, but an automated count-down would be very welcome.

The lack of inventory tracking is killing us. We sell a huge number of bulk candies and originally used Modifiers, but without inventory it became dangerous and useless. Right now we have an embedded form BUT because we can't modify the Product layout in Square ONline, the embedded form is below the button and OFTEN missed which means following up with the customer every time: https://www.rivercitytreats.ca/product/pick-n-mix-custom-candy-mix/555?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=...

The form allows the customer to choose multiples of something, it has pricing, it tracks the inventory and it has more control over the look than the actual Square Online. The only issue is it's not linked to Square and it's clunky the way it is embedded because now the customer has to go through a two-step process! This could be easily solved with Modifier inventory. We're about to add a restaurant with ice cream orders and we have a variety of dips and toppings which should be able to be part of inventory. We pay for every form of Square and it boggles my mind that this isn't included. Square Online linked with Restaurants should be able to do it.

Giving modifier count tracking a bump. We desperately need this to help track bagel counts.

Currently we must do manual counts on scratch paper as we run low; which slows down our team. Thank you!

Modifier count tracking would save us so much time and customer disappointment as well!

I'd love to see Product Team give this a close look and prioritize implementation.

This would be a game changer for us as a bagel shop where we track bagel flavors via Modifiers. 

Especially with today's multi-channel online world (DoorDash, Square Online, etc), we must be able to sell out Modifiers automatically by tracking their qualities the same way we track Items.

This would be so helpful! We run a flower shop and use modifiers to allow people to upgrade to a specialty card. It's great that we can add a price to that and toggle in/out of stock, but it would be great to be able to have an automated stock countdown, rather than having to manually keep track and update. There's been many times we've accidentally over sold a card because we got a slew of orders in a limited time range and I couldn't mark it out of stock quickly enough. Even better would be the ability to link modifiers directly with a site item so that the title, price, photo and stock don't have to be manually input.

I have been waiting for this for a long time, we need it to accurately cost our menus.

Giving this an end-of-year bump. Would love to see this on the Q1 2026 product roadmap.

Modifier tracking that count down and auto-sell out just as we have at the item level. They could potentially auto-reset at end of day, or stay sold out, depending on what is preferred by the operator. All should be accessible via the Square for Restaurants and POS app.

Essential for bagel flavors, would be applicable to any restaurant that serves limited items via modifiers that sell-out daily like ice cream, doughnuts, barbecue, etc.
