Hey @alex5

It does not look like you can print a Receipt before taking Payment, but you would be able to print an Order Ticket if that works.

The steps for that are in this thread: https://www.sellercommunity.com/t5/Questions-How-To/Can-you-print-an-open-ticket-before-taking-a-pay...

Here is a copy of it from @Helen:

To do this you'll need to enable a setting in the Printers section of the app on your tablet first:

1. Sign in to the POS app and navigate to Settings.
2. Scroll down > tap Printers. 
3. Toggle the switch next to enable Receipts, Bills, Reports Open Cash Drawers.

With this enabled you'll have now see the option to print a bill to give to your customers. To do this:

1. From the Checkout section of the app tap Tickets (to see all of your open tickets) > tap Edit in the upper right.
2. You'll see a list of options > select Print Bill.
3. A copy of the items on the ticket will be printed.

You'll also be able to print a bill if you open a ticket and tap the drop down arrow in the upper right. You'll the list of options and you can select Print Bill.

Does that work for you?

Out of curiosity, what's your workflow that you want an itemized receipt before payment?

Hope this helps,

@alex5 Helen here from the Community team! Thanks for answering this one @pessosices! 

I just wanted to add here that we just launched a beta for Estimates for Square Invoices. With Estimates you can add line items and send an estimate to a customer before they make a payment. You can also print Estimates too!

It sounds like this might be what you're looking for? If so, to join the beta head to this thread: Beta Test Estimates for Square Invoices!
