Feature Request: Cash Management for the new Square Terminal

[AEGP]

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: New Square terminal turning on cash management

We recently purchased the new small square terminal and cannot open a new cash drawer/ close cash drawer daily. 

I see that we should be able to turn it on in settings under the cash management tab, but that tab is not showing up for me. Ive looked under every tab and cannot seem to find it.

Is cash management available if we are using a usb cash driver with the terminal ??

From cash management I mean checking expected cash in the drawer at the end of day and opening/closing daily report

Hey @robinbrar - currently cash management is a limitation with the Square Terminal, but it's a request we're working on. For now, I've merged you into this thread so you can see @Helen's workaround.

Hi @AEGP, I'm very sorry for the confusion! At this time Cash Management is only available if you're using the Square app on iPads and Android tablets.

In the meantime, here is a workaround to balance a cash drawer by hand if you're using Square Terminal: 

1. At the start of your day, record the starting cash amount in your drawer.
2. At the end of your day, download a CSV file of your payment history from your online Square Dashboard.
3. Subtract cash sales, refunds, or cash paid in/out from your starting cash amount and record the balance.
4. Count the cash in your drawer. If the actual cash amount in the drawer is equal to the balance you calculated from your CSV, then the drawer is in balance.

We'll update this thread to let you know when Cash Management is available on Square Terminal!

🎉 Update: Cash Drawer Management is now available on Square Terminal. You can now track your cash sales and manage your cash drawer directly from Square Terminal.

We know that for some businesses managing cash may not be top of mind right now, as many business are implementing contactless payments, but I wanted to let everyone in this thread know this feature is available. Thank you for your patience!

I am using 2 square terminal but only 1 cash drawer. Is there a way to combine data so that when I close, it takes the sales from both devices? thanks!
