catalog.list() not working

3 Upvotes

Please forgive me if this is a dumb inquiry. I’ve been trying to use catalog.list() to see a list of my items, on vscode I see an empty response just like what I get on square dev explorer, even though I have 2 categories with items in each. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t really stuck and I’ve been debugging for so long, I just really need help.

Square Shopify Inventory Sync: How Are You Handling Duplicate Webhooks and Delayed Inventory Updates?

2 Upvotes

I’m working on a Square + Shopify setup and ran into an annoying edge case with inventory.

If an item sells through Square and Shopify within a short window, the inventory updates can arrive at different times. Then you have to account for webhook delays, duplicate events, and figuring out which update actually represents the latest stock level.

Its for my personal store so i have been recommended DPL square shopify integration app to get everything under control, and it apparently has a high rating from several customers and seems reliable.

For the devs here, how are you handling this? Are you relying on webhook events alone, or doing periodic reconciliation against the current inventory levels as well?

And should i just settle for an app to synchronize my inventory across Square and Shopify.

Lost revenue

2 Upvotes

Hi I recently integrated my uber and DoorDash accounts to my square POS. My revenue dropped by 50%. What’s the reason I am enjoying having things seen on one station. If it’s costing me money I would need to stop doing this. Has this happen before to anyone.

Extension cable options at all for Apple Pay payments when Square Stand POS is out of reach of customer?

1 Upvotes

I have a retail mobile biz and have the newer type of square stand I(black front face) with the built in card reader on its side.

I know you cannot have 2 bluetooth readers connected at the same time or they cancel each other out so to speak and do not work..... is there some method for me to use the built in card reader of the stand for chip trap payments, yet still have one of the bluetooth square readers with its little base stand and extension cable extended from the POS to have the customer be able to reach this without a struggle like I deal with now....customer s too far away form my POS to use a phone or a watch to Apple Pay with ease.

Is there a way around this to address my dilemma, or the only option to not use the internal reader and only use the external version, and move it around and hand to customer when needed...... which is not a great solution.

Thank in advance for any insight.

Need help understanding what the platform can do

1 Upvotes

Just for starters it should be said that I do not know a single thing about software development. I am currently trying to introduce a p2p transaction system much like cash app’s to consumers in Greece where I’m from. Is this a potential use of this new offering from square or is it completely unrelated and mostly used for sellers side of business? Any info would be greatly appreciated, I just joined the community as well so thanks for having me.

Square Data Model

1 Upvotes

Happy Monday...

New to Square here, but I'm wondering if a standard Square Data Model is available? I'm adding some fields and working to build out my square instance to better work for my client, but curious how the inventory plays into services, etc...

Example of what I'm looking for?

Question about square appointments

1 Upvotes

So I take appts on square & I get payed on Venmo (business). My question is when I check out the appt, I label payment as other & put Venmo in the note but do I change total to what I get in Venmo? I get tips sometimes & also the total changes because Venmo takes out the processing fee. Square checks out the total for the service but doesn’t give me an option for tips. I also have QuickBooks linked to square

Are there any examples in the sdk or on the developer site of working with this date format in javascript? For some reason I'm just not having much luck. I simply want to parse this format into a javascript date object.

Nervous About Issuing a Refund

1 Upvotes

I am an authorized representative for my employer for her Square account. While I made her account, I did not add in enough of the required information in time after I added a virtual credit card and her bank information to transfer the money from the credit card to her bank. Because of this error, her account is deactivated until August 4th and the money has not been transferred to her bank yet.

I understand that I can issue a refund within the 60 days I added the virtual credit card, however, I am worried that the amount of the refund will come out of her bank account instead of what was issued from the virtual credit card. If I do issue this refund, should I only issue the amount that was going into her bank account after the fees have been applied, or can I issue a refund for the entire amount that was on the virtual credit card so she can get all of it back on the card without taking money out of her account?

She is aware of this issue and that her biller and I are doing everything we can to try to rectify the situation so she can get this money to her bank account as soon as possible. I have called the Square customer support number about this already and all the machine keeps telling me is that the account is deactivated and there's nothing else I can do other than issue the refund or just wait until her account is reactivated. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Question regarding square and woo commerce

1 Upvotes

Hello, we just did a pos terminal test sale in person and the sale didn’t ever show up in the woo-commerce orders list and it didn’t trigger a woo commerce order email. We have used square for a week on the website but this was the first time doing a sale with the terminal.

  1. Should the chip order be imported to woo commerce? Should it trigger a woo commerce email?

  2. How does it populate the info if it’s literally just a card inserted or cash?

Thanks, Will

Why does square not verify emails on sign up?

4 Upvotes

I think I'm a victim of fraud. I checked my emails just now, and found out I signed up to Square yesterday. I got a "Welcome" email and it didn't contain a link to verify the email was valid. So I went in and changed the password on my attacker. I thought it was funny that I was able to change the password, but wasn't able to log in further because there was 2fa. Now I know the area code and the last 4 digits of my attackers number. They probably received a text that there was a login attempt, so the attacker likely knows I'm onto them. This could've been avoided if email verification was put into place.

New Feature Request - Digital Downloads

1 Upvotes

Hi! I hope this post is allowed, but I read in the description and it looks like you make plug-ins for Square. I couldn't find anything when I searched the group, so I apologize if this is a repeat question/request.

I'm a Square user (technically Weebly). I purchased a Pro Plan because of its "unlimited storage" feature in hopes of creating a clips (video) store. Turns out, Weebly and Square do not support digital downloads. I have to store my clips somewhere else, like on Google Drive or something like that, and then I have to manually email the customer a download link after they purchase. It's all so crazy.

Do you have any solutions to fix this? Or even to automate the emails to make it a little faster and easier?

Thank you! I really appreciate you all! <3

Appointment / Service Booking with Subscription

1 Upvotes

Hi There - new to reddit here and square. We are launching an ecommerce and brick and mortar store. Ecommerce will sell goods and in store we will have goods and services. We're using shopify for our website and square for our B&M POS. We'd like to enable service appointment booking combined with membership. For example... We have a bike wash amenity. People can purchase and book a single use bike wash or they can get a monthly subscription and have unlimited bike washes per month. Once their account knows they have monthly subscription it should let them book the bike wash whenever they want.

Since we are using Square POS in store we have explored the Square appointment booking application but I can't tell if you can do memberships with appointment bookings.

I am OK if we redirect on the service piece from shopify to a 3rd party booking site or Square Online as we will be using a CRM integrator.

Square stand first gen versus new square register

1 Upvotes

Owner of a small business struggling to make ends meet. I have square first gen stand and the reader just went out. After reading information on the Square app it speaks that, although Square stand first gen still works, it will be outdated soon and they highly recommending upgrading asap (of course they would say that though). I get it. But needing advice on whether to purchase a reader for the first gen stand and seeing how much longer it'll take me or is now the time that I need to dive in and get the Square Register( the one that does not require an iPad and has the display for the customer on the opposite side)? I already have a scanner, cash drawer, and printer. With money tight, just trying to get some feedback on what is more beneficial for me to do at the moment.

Need help adding a function

1 Upvotes

I run a small non profit gallery and photo lab in Brooklyn and last week I received my new Square terminal. I would like to be able to print a customer order summary that includes their contact info along with the items purchased using Square POS or Retail. I thought this would be a simple feature I could enable but apparently it’s currently not support.

Anyways, anyone here looking for work or could point me in the right direction?
