Require a specific item be purchased with every online transaction?

[allwhowander]

Small craft beer bar selling beer for curbside pickup. With the NYS Liquor Law now requiring food be purchased with each order, I am looking for a way to make it mandatory to add a particular food item to the cart before the customer can check out. I can't find anything like this on the support forum. Is this possible? Thanks & Cheers

Hello @allwhowander! 🍻

We don't have a way for the system to force customers to order certain items before they can checkout. This would be considered a feature request. An interesting one, though, because I haven't heard of a situation like yours. But I'm sure others are probably going through the same experience.

You could create a banner message on the main page of your Square Online site informing customers that they need to purchase a food item in order to pick up beer curbside. Hopefully they'll be alert and read that message before ordering.

That's the only real workaround I can think of at this time. But I'll definitely pass this feedback along to our Product team!

That’s what we were thinking.. thanks for your reply! Would love to see this as a future feature. Cheers
