Hi, I run a bakery and I appreciate the recent change where items that are currently on an open ticket are removed from inventory (they show as "stock on hand" but not as "available to sell"). However, I recently created a ticket with several items (6 croissants, 6 chocolate croissants, etc.) that I decided to send as an invoice. This is an option under Open Tickets, where you can select "Charge" and select "Invoice," instead of cash or credit, etc. So I sent the invoice, and the ticket disappeared. And then the person came into the shop and paid the invoice (also through the POS), and so that sale should be completed and finalized. BUT, those items are still showing as "committed" on an open ticket. (See screenshot. Again, the ticket no longer exists.) When I try to put up 12 croissants for sale online, only 6 show up because it says that 6 are committed. So now every day after we sell 6, the last 6 are not able to be sold online. This is extremely frustrating as it has been like this for more than a week. I reported the issue over the phone last week and they did not have an answer for me then and still no one has gotten back to me. Customers keep calling and wondering why we have no croissants up online, etc. Wondering if anyone else might have a solution or if posting here might help elevate the issue. Admins, please help!
Quick question @KingstonBread: did your customer Settle the invoice or just come in and complete a transaction?
Settled the invoice, definitely. The invoice is marked as paid.
Gotcha! Thank you for the clarification.
I can definitely confirm this is a bug. I would recommend reaching out to our Support team once again and letting them know that a Seller Community Moderator looked into this and was able to determine that this Open Ticket did not close as expected after settling the transaction.
If they insist that they don't know what is going on, please request to get this escalated to our Advanced Support Team. While this team doesn't offer phone support they are able to receive escalations to address this and forward to engineers if need be.
I am sorry that this wasn't resolved in your first interaction and I hope that this time they are able to address it for you @KingstonBread.
Thank you JJ. I did send another email to the support team this week and have not heard anything back yet. And when I did live chat with someone they told me they did not see any case history for this issue. I'm not sure what else to do at this point! How can I request something be elevated to the advanced support team if I can't even get an acknowledgement that the case exists?
This needs to be done via our direct support team @KingstonBread. When you have a moment, please reach out directly at 855-700-6000 between 6 am - 6 pm Pacific Time Monday-Friday.
Hi JJ, just an update. I've been on the phone now for an hour with someone who is apparently going back and forth between me and "advanced support." He keeps putting me on hold and coming back and asking more questions. At this point they are asking me to film a video of the process of me creating a ticket and sending it as an invoice, which really isn't possible to do during the business day so now I will have to spend time after hours doing this. They also said they need "the name of the employee who took the payment," which makes no sense to me and they can't explain why they want that. This is extremely frustrating considering Square has paid employees to do this kind of QA and troubleshooting and now I'm spending my time recreating the wheel AGAIN doing the work for them. I sent them this thread but they still need me to do this all over again.
I am really sorry for this experience @KingstonBread. I will pass on this feedback.
