How to import your library during setup

The title of this thread has been edited by a Square Moderator from the original: IMPORTING LIBRARY

I have been using square pos for 4 years and it says I need to complete setup by importing my library.  How and why should I do this?

Hello @te4 

and welcome to our Seller Community, it's always exciting to see new faces around here! 

Square offers the option to import your item library using a CSV or Excel file. 

While this is not a requirement, we suggest doing so if your business already has an item library on a different platform that you can export, or if you have used a spreadsheet to manage your items before. 

This feature is particularly useful for businesses with many items to manage since they can make bulk changes using a spreadsheet and then import the file once changes have been applied, instead of making changes to items one by one. 

You can learn more about importing your library in this article. It includes instructions to download our template, and to upload the edited file for your library to be imported. 

Let me know if this information is helpful. 

Thank you ✨
