[New] Team member badges available on Square Shop

[kathyz]

Hi sellers,

Team member badges are now available on Square Shop in Canada! 

Sellers who have Advanced Access or Square for Restaurants Plus/Premium will be able to order directly from Square Shop at a lower cost of $29 for a 20-pack (previously offered at $40 with our third-party vendor).

For enhanced business security, team members can combine passcodes with team member badges to get access to only what they need, even when you can’t be there yourself. This allows for faster clock-ins, overrides and device logins all from a single tap. You will no longer need to purchase badges from our third-party website and can now purchase directly on Square along with other Square hardware. Purchase badges in the Square Shop and see the help article for more information.

I watched another business with this system (but a competitor) this week and I was really surprised at how efficiently they were able to make it work! In order for a customer service rep to ring through an order, they had to swipe their card to unlock the terminal. But it wasn't a barrier at all - it gave everyone flexibility to jump on the till when they needed to...

Right now, our screen time out is set to 5 minutes (because it can be annoying to sign in so often) but sometimes that means that transactions are happening under the wrong employee. I feel like member badges would help alleviate that. I might have to order some of these to give them a go!
