What's New From Square: June Features Coming Soon (Volume 5)

1 Kudo

Hey Square Community,

Two weeks ago, we rolled out Volume 4, and the response has been incredible. Thank you to everyone who shared feedback, asked questions, and helped other sellers navigate the changes.

We're here with another set of features and improvements coming this week across payments, online ordering, kitchen operations, device management, and banking. Some are available for early access, and the rest will be fully available by June 11.

This is Volume 5. Here's what's new.

Payments & Checkout

Bitcoin payments on the Register customer display 🇺🇸

Customers can choose Bitcoin as a payment method directly from the Square Register customer display at checkout. The option appears alongside other payment methods on the checkout screen.

Why it matters: Sellers who want to accept Bitcoin have previously needed workarounds or separate payment steps. With Bitcoin appearing as a native option on the customer-facing display, the transaction stays in one place. Customers who prefer to pay with Bitcoin do so without slowing down the line or requiring staff intervention beyond a standard checkout.

Access: Available on Square Register hardware in the US. No additional setup is required beyond enabling Bitcoin payments in account settings.

Online Ordering & Fulfillment

Item-level fulfillment settings and location inheritance 🇺🇸

Items automatically use their location's fulfillment methods by default. Individual items can override these settings when different fulfillment options are needed — for example, a catering platter that requires pickup only while the rest of the menu offers delivery. Ordering profiles also support custom prep times, cutoff times, and pre-ordering windows.

Why it matters: Sellers with mixed menus — some items available for delivery, others pickup-only — have had to manage fulfillment rules manually across every item. That gets tedious fast when the catalog grows. Location-level inheritance means new items follow the house rules automatically, and overrides exist for the exceptions without touching everything else. Custom prep times and cutoff windows give sellers control over when orders come in relative to when the kitchen can actually fulfill them.

Access: Available now. Items inherit fulfillment settings from their assigned location by default. To override for a specific item, adjust fulfillment settings at the item level in the catalog.

Menu & Kitchen Operations

Allergen and dietary notes per seat 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇮🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸

Staff can add allergens, dietary preferences, and custom notes to each seat on an order. These details appear on printed tickets and the Kitchen Display System so every dish is prepared correctly for the guest in that seat.

Why it matters: Allergy mistakes are dangerous and expensive. When a table of six includes one guest with a nut allergy and another who is gluten-free, that information needs to travel from the server to the kitchen without ambiguity. Seat-level notes keep dietary details attached to the right guest — not buried in a general order note that the kitchen has to interpret. The result is fewer errors, fewer remakes, and safer meals.

Access: Available in Square Point of Sale for sellers on supported restaurant plans. Add allergen or dietary notes per seat when building an order.

Hide sold-out modifier options on Point of Sale and Kiosk 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇮🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸

A display setting hides sold-out (86'd) modifier options from checkout screens so only in-stock choices appear. Sellers with large modifier lists — like dozens of ice cream flavors — see only available items instead of scrolling through unavailable ones.

Why it matters: When a shop runs out of three flavors out of thirty, those grayed-out options still clutter the screen. Staff waste time scrolling past them, and on kiosks, customers tap unavailable options only to get an error. Hiding 86'd modifiers entirely keeps the screen clean and reduces failed selections — especially for high-variety menus where the sold-out list changes throughout the day.

Access: Available now on the Free plan. Enable the display setting to hide sold-out modifiers from Square Point of Sale and Square Kiosk checkout screens.

Include or exclude item categories from printer profiles 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇮🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸

Printer profiles can be set to automatically print or skip tickets for entire item categories. New categories added in the future follow the same rules without manual updates.

Why it matters: A bar printer doesn't need dessert tickets. A kitchen printer doesn't need retail merchandise receipts. Previously, sellers had to assign printing rules item by item or remember to update printer settings every time a new category was added. Category-level rules mean the printer profile stays accurate as the menu grows — no maintenance required when seasonal items or new product lines come in.

Access: Available now on the Free plan. Set category-level print rules within printer profile settings.

Operations & Device Management

Drag to move or merge checks on the floor plan 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇮🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸

On the Square for Restaurants floor plan (iOS and Android tablets), team members press and hold an occupied table and drag it onto another table to move the check. Dragging onto another occupied table prompts a merge confirmation. A passcode or permission is required when moving another team member's check.

Why it matters: Guests move. A couple starts at the bar, then shifts to a booth when one opens up. A party of four joins another table's group. Previously, moving or merging checks required multiple taps through menus. Drag-and-drop on the floor plan matches how the physical room actually works — staff grab the table and put it where the guest went. The permission requirement prevents accidental merges or unauthorized transfers during a busy shift.

Access: Available now on iOS and Android tablets running Square for Restaurants. The drag interaction works directly on the floor plan view.

Banking & Financial Services

Attach receipts and notes to Square Debit Card transactions 🇺🇸

Receipt images and notes can be added to Square Debit Card transactions in Square Dashboard. When enabled in Notifications settings, an SMS prompt goes out after each purchase — team members reply with a receipt photo that automatically matches to the transaction. All transactions, notes, and receipt images can be exported for accounting reconciliation.

Why it matters: Business expenses made on the Square Debit Card have lacked a built-in way to attach documentation. That means receipts pile up in wallets, get photographed into separate apps, or disappear entirely — creating headaches at tax time and during monthly reconciliation. SMS-based capture meets team members where they are (at the register, on the road, at the supply store) and removes the friction between spending and record-keeping.

Access: Available now on the Free plan. Enable SMS receipt prompts in Notifications settings within Square Dashboard. Receipts and notes are viewable and exportable from the transaction detail view.

Credit card repayment from daily sales 🇺🇸

Sellers with a Square credit card can automatically apply a percentage of daily sales toward their balance before the due date. Repayment can target the minimum payment, statement balance, or a custom amount.

Why it matters: Automatic repayment from daily sales turns balance management into a background process. Sellers choose how aggressively to pay down the balance, and the deduction happens from revenue that's already flowing through Square. No separate bank transfer, no calendar reminder, no missed payment.

Access: Available for sellers with a Square credit card. Set repayment preferences in the credit card section of Square Dashboard.

Tiered interest rates for Square Savings 🇺🇸

Square Savings offers two interest tiers based on account balance. Balances of $10,000 or more earn 3.5% APY, while balances below $10,000 earn 1% APY. Rates update automatically as balances change, with no opt-in required.

Why it matters: Sellers who keep operating reserves in Square Savings now earn meaningfully more as those reserves grow. The tiered structure rewards sellers for building a larger cash cushion — the kind of buffer that protects against slow seasons or unexpected expenses. Because rates adjust automatically, there's no action required when the balance crosses the $10,000 threshold in either direction.

Access: Available now on the Free plan. Rates apply automatically to existing and new Square Savings accounts based on current balance.

🎉 Your Feedback in Action

These updates are a direct result of feedback and feature requests shared across the community! Here's how the Community helped shape what we're launching:

Hide sold-out modifier options on Square POS: @homegrowncone requested the ability to hide sold-out modifiers from the terminal, noting that grayed-out options clutter the screen during busy service. This feature now hides 86’d modifiers entirely from POS and Kiosk checkout screens.

Drag to move or merge checks: @bannermanbrew requested the ability to move a seat and its items to another table when guests relocate mid-meal, without having to bill them before they move or recreating tickets. Drag-and-drop on the floor plan now handles this in one gesture.

Attach receipts to Debit Card transactions: @SpecialEventBar asked for a way to track staff debit card spending. SMS-based receipt capture now auto-matches photos to transactions.

Allergen and dietary note per seat: @SeeYouInHealth asked for a way to emphasize or highlight food allergy on kitchen tickets. Now, instead of being buried in the general order note, allergen and information notes are highlighted at seat level, ensuring the details attached to the right guest.

💬 Community Conversations

We know some of these changes spark real questions. Here's a thread worth checking out:

Accepting Bitcoin: What’s your experience? After Square’s recent announcement about fee-free crypto payment acceptance through 2026 a few weeks ago, @bonny kicked off a conversation among sellers about whether to start accepting Bitcoin. Some shared why they have enabled it early, while others provide reasons for holding off for now. With Bitcoin payments now available on the Register customer display, this is a great thread to read if you are weighing whether to turn it on.
