Selling "Live" like commentsold

I wish that square would allow an option to sell "live" just like commentsold. They have things set up where we sell on our "live" app or website and the product appears before the customer as though we have our own "QVC" SHOW. The only drawback I'm having is that commentsold is not syncing properly with my square inventory so the orders are being pushed through but I'm out of stock. It's so frustrating and if square would allow us to do this I would switch everything out and totally use them to host my app and website. They're already keeping up with my inventory, so it would be a HUGE positive change and would possibly bring in more businesses using them!

Hey there @daintythreads.  This falls into the category of a feature request.  Here is a link to that board where you can submit it for evaluation.  I will say that timing issues are just one of a few that even Square will run across.  For example, once an item is in a cart some sellers want it to be assumed sold, even before payment.  Other sellers would not want that.  Also, invoice sales for invoices that have not yet been paid could or could not fall into the same boat.  Anyway, this would definitely be a feature that — if Square accepted — would require some serious beta testing, especially with syncing servers world-wide.  Regardless, submit away and good luck!

@daintythreadsI also face some challenges. We use CommentSold, but the app that connects to Square is not ideal. Additionally, maintaining two websites is exhausting. Don’t even get me started on the Loyalty program. People who shop with us at fairs don’t realize that they can’t use their loyalty rewards on live shows, and they don’t earn points from the live shows either. Sometimes, it seems like more trouble than it’s worth.
