📰 Community Conversations

Cross-border transaction fees visible in reports: @mdrobena while we don’t yet have a way to disable international cards like in your request, it should now be easier to see reporting & itemized fees associated with international transactions.

Calculate tips on the full amount before loyalty redemptions: I came across your request @Apt9F for calculating tips prior to discount or gift cards being redeemed. Although the exact feature does not exist yet, if you are using Square Loyalty, there should now be an option to calculate tips before OR after customers use their Loyalty rewards.
