Hi @Sewstuff.. From what I read in this Square Help Article, you are going to need to populate a specific field in your customer directory with the phone number. This field name is “Reference ID.” In order not to have to key them all in again manually, you will need to download a CSV of your current customer directory, and use a spreadsheet formula to duplicate the phone number from the field “Phone Number” to the field “Reference ID,” and then upload that back to Square.
If you haven’t already, you’ll want to review how to enable the customer QR code scanning feature and functionality on each POS that does this. The instructions for being sure you are set up correctly are also included in the above help article.
Also, as you add new customers, you will have to be sure to copy this reference ID manually to their customer records. Or, you’ll need to periodically repeat the above procedure in order to populate the Reference ID field for new customers. The only other method for automatically updating Reference ID is via an API endpoint call. That’s referenced in the help document, but outside anything I could help you with.
Let me know if you need anything else.
