Issues with latest Square Stand POS update

The most recent update for the Square Stand POS is causing major issues for us.. The issues I’m seeking solutions for are:

1) On cash transactions, the “change due” amount is now a fraction of the size of the total amount of the transaction, and it’s confusing during rushes. It is resulting in my staff giving customers the wrong change (the larger amount displayed) and is literally losing me money because our drawer is short.

2) on the item library page, the search bar is gone. You now need to tap the magnifying icon to search for an item. This may seem like an insignificant change on Square’s end, but during busy times, this extra step is causing a lot of extra work. I grasp that we can pin certain products to our favorites, but we frequently rotate our offerings and offer many items. We don’t need extra steps, we need to be able to search from the main screen.

3) the tipping feature has changed and is now located at the bottom of the screen after a customer completes a card transaction. It is no long straightforward and is causing customers to completely bypass this option. Tips are down and my staff isn’t happy. I am now not only losing money and time, but will end up losing my staff if this isn’t resolved.

 

Has anyone found solutions to any of these terrible new updates? Is anyone else having similar issues?

Hi there, @gwpclou,

 

We really appreciate you reaching out to us about this and providing all of those details. We definitely want to look into this and see how we can help. What version of the device are you currently running? Have there been any updates since that fixed these issues?

This really needs to be fixed. I don’t know what OP uses, but we use the stand with an iPad

I agree, I wish the change due screen would stay up longer. Fortunately we use a receipt printer and can loo on the receipt for the change to give back. I would be easier if the screen stayed up longer.

Agreed, we are having the same issue, during busy times of the day it can confuse employees and it is causing money/change shortages.

Is there a way to manually change this setting back to the original cash checkout?

Unfortunately these aren't issues but part of the update that was planned. 

I agree with you on 1 and 2. The change text is much too small and I liked not having to click something else to begin a search. I can't comment on 3 because we don't do tips.
