[New] Archive Items on Square for Retail

[#1]

Hi sellers! 👋

Archive items from your Square Dashboard to make managing your item catalog and inventory reports easier than ever. You and your staff can now designate items to ‘Archive’ status to keep your item history, and view your catalog and inventory reports with simplicity. 

• Never worry about deleting items again — quickly change multiple items’ status to Archive one-at-a-time or in bulk 
• Easily filter your catalog and reports to remove archived items from view
• After archiving unneeded items, get relevant and actionable Low Stock Alerts and Auto PO recommendations

And if you ever need to bring an item back, simply unarchive it. To begin, visit items and navigate to your Item Library. Follow step-by-step instructions here. 

💡 Note: You can manage archived items from Square POS, Square Appointments Point of Sale, and Square Retail POS. Archived items are not available on Square Restaurants POS app.

No. Archiving an item removes it from all locations and sales channels. You can edit the locations where something is available though from your dashboard. You would open the item via dashboard and then open the location and uncheck all locations except the ones you want it to remain available at.

Thank you!  Bummer, that would mean I would have to keep that item in our system until all location stop carrying it.  Inventory is fun!  🙂

Thanks!!

Any items not available at a location shouldn’t show up in that location’s inventory report so shouldn’t have an impact

Looking forward to the archive feature coming for Restaurants!
