Remove shipping for digital item?

[karenjoy1]

I have a digital item that still includes the customer's shipping address when checking out via the Payment Link.

This guide says "By default, shipping information isn’t required for the purchase of non-physical items." https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6873-sell-non-physical-items-in-square-online-store

I do have digital items set to be available worldwide.

I found another thread with my same question, but the answers from 2021 seemed to have navigation that was out of date. I've combed through other options to no available. I'd appreciate any help. TIA

Hey there @karenjoy1,

I am happy to investigate this further. You said this is through a payment link? Do you have shipping on for the payment link? Can you provide a photo of what you see?

Thank  you so much! Here's my link

I have taxes off and just toggled off shipping (pic). It says I need to select a fulfillment method (but none seem to apply for digital products/services). And also the link still has shipping.

Did this ever get solved?

Im in a similar situation.  I only sell digital items and shipping is always there, cant check out without having to put shipping info in

Unfortunately no, I haven't heard from @MayaP.

It looks like you have shipping enabled under your Payment Links settings. Keep in mind that all payment links are treated as if they’re for a physical item, even if the product is non-physical. To proceed, you’ll need to select one of the available fulfillment methods for the payment link to work.

The article you shared in your original post applies to selling items on Square Online, which differs from Payment Links. Let me know if you need further clarification or help @karenjoy1. 😊

Hey @Blvdtv - I am happy to investigate this further. Do you have an item I can reference to investigate this further? Please reply with as much detail as possible.
