SQUARE Support is AWFUL

First off the agent doesn't understand my issue and keeps repeating the same thing over and over.  I asked for a supervisor and they decided to talk over me, I had to demand a supervisor probably 7 times and now they have left me on hold.

 

My issue is it was the first time creating an invoice where the customer pays 50% prior to their visit then the remainder at their visit.  They paid via credit card the 50% on Aug 29 via the invoice link.  Then when they came in the appt on 9/5, I didn't have them pay thru the invoice, they paid via the square appointment checkout with their credit card.  My accountant noticed the invoice was still open, although I technicallly had collected all of the payments, so she marked it paid with a note on 9/13.  However, in the system it looks like I collected 3 transactions for this customer, when all I did was collect 2 - 1 via the invoice, 1 outside of the invoice.  I need to figure out how to remove this "fake" payment on 9/13 - there was no card/cash transaction, just closing of the invoice as paid.

    Based on the information provided, here's how you can save a newly created item:
    1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard and navigate to Items & services > Items.
    2. Click on 'Create item'.
    3. Enter the item information such as name and description.
    4. Choose your item type.
    5. Click 'Save' when you're finished.
  • If you're using the Square POS app, you can also create an item by tapping on 'Inventory', then 'Create purchase order'. Enter the item details and tap 'Save'.

    WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR SYSTEM. SAVE DOESN'T WORK

    That's 30 minutes of time


    Support agent - 10:46 am
    I can see that you need assistance creating items, is that correct?


    I do not. Your system won't save items

    you have a tech problem. I see many frustrated customers online with the same issue


    10:47 am
    I guess you can't see what I've sent already


    Support agent - 10:47 am
    Let me double check this for you. May I have your full name and email address?


    Can you see what's wrong with your system not saving

    I already sent that


    10:48 am
    What happened to the last agent? More tech problems?


    Support agent - 10:48 am
    For security purposes, I need to verify your information. Could you provide me your full name and email address please?


    If you can't scroll up, then forget it, I don't trust Square will find a new platform too many issues.
