I am using the Square POI app on both Samsung and Apple. I do not have an option to "Auto-Create" tab on my apps. I was excited about this feature. Did they remove it for some reason? My apps are updated. Thanks

I use the Square regiser in my brick and mortar store. I don't have the option to auto-create an item. How can I get this?

[@square]

Hey Vanessa, you can create items from your compatible device, Square Terminal, Square Stand, or Square Register. Check out this article to create an item from the Square Register squ.re/2rkS7cu.

How do you add a charity donation at the end of the transaction while the customer is paying??

[@square]

With Square, you have the ability creation donations online, more information is available here, squ.re/3zrRiSF. Once you set this up at the time of checkout you will see the donation option available. It sounds like you are needing this for in-person transactions, is that correct?

[@1jtrippy]

@@square I have this same question. Not online donations, but donations at the POS in the store?

This would be a lot more time efficient if it were in writing.
