Assign modifier sets to specific sales channels from Dashboard

Square Free
April 16, 2026
Items & Inventory, Sales channels

You can now control which sales channels display each modifier set from Square Dashboard. When editing a modifier set, select the channels where it should appear, such as POS, Square Online, or third-party delivery platforms. This lets you show different modifier options depending on the ordering channel.

Details
Use Square Dashboard to assign modifiers to the channels and locations where they should appear — online, in Square Point of Sale, or delivery apps — without editing each channel separately. Apply changes in bulk, preview which modifiers are active per channel, and keep pricing or availability consistent where it matters most. By narrowing modifier visibility to the right channels you reduce customer confusion and order errors, speed up checkout, and cut down on manual updates. This makes menu management simpler across multiple locations and sales channels so you can focus on service and sales instead of chasing mismatched options.

Automatic card surcharging now applies to bar tab payments

Square Free
April 16, 2026
Payments, POS

Automatic Card Surcharging (ACS) now works with pre-authorized card payments, including bar tabs. When a customer's credit card is pre-authorized to open a tab, the surcharge is calculated and applied when the final payment is captured at tab close. Previously, ACS did not apply surcharges to pre-authorized payment flows.

Offline payments enabled by default for all sellers

Square Free
April 16, 2026
Payments, POS

Offline payments are now turned on by default, allowing your Square Point of Sale to accept card payments during network or Square outages. You can adjust offline payment settings or disable the feature from your POS device settings. Offline transactions are processed once connectivity is restored, and declined transactions remain the seller’s responsibility.

Details
When your internet goes down, your Square Point of Sale and compatible Square hardware switch to taking offline payments and queue card payments so you can finish the sale. Queued transactions are stored securely on the device and automatically process when connectivity is restored, so you don’t have to re-enter sales or risk losing revenue. Keeping payments flowing helps you serve customers faster, avoid lines, and reduce staff steps during outages. If you’d rather require online authorization, you can disable offline payments in your Square Point of Sale settings; otherwise the feature is on by default to keep your checkout reliable.

Passkey sign-in enabled by default on web

Square Free
April 16, 2026
Account

Passkeys are now enabled by default for signing in to your Square account on the web. When you sign in from a supported device, you can authenticate using biometrics like Touch ID or Face ID instead of entering a password and two-factor code. Passkey enrollment is offered automatically during sign-in.

Details
With passkeys enabled by default, when you sign in on mobile the Square Point of Sale or Square app will offer device-based authentication—like Face ID or fingerprint—so future logins are just a tap. Passkeys replace traditional passwords with a secure, phishing-resistant credential stored on your device, which reduces lockouts and support time spent on password resets. If needed, you can still sign in with a password or add another device through account settings, giving you flexibility while keeping access fast and secure.

Time-based menus on Square Point of Sale for F&B

Square Free
April 16, 2026
POS

Square Point of Sale now supports time-based menus for Food & Beverage sellers. When you assign time schedules to menus (breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour), POS automatically displays the correct menu for the current time period. Menus outside their scheduled hours show "Not available until [time]" and require a manager passcode override to access.

Edit team member on closed orders

Square Free
April 9, 2026
Orders

You can now change the assigned team member on a closed order. This allows you to correct team member attribution after an order is completed, ensuring accurate tip and commission records.

Details
Easily change which team member is credited on a closed order to correct mistakes or reflect who actually handled the sale. You won’t need to reopen or alter the transaction totals—just update the staff attribution so reports, tip allocation, and timecard summaries reflect the correct person. Changes are tracked so you have an audit trail for reconciliation and payroll review, and access to the feature is governed by staff permissions so you control who can make edits. That means fewer payroll corrections, clearer shift reporting, and less time spent resolving attribution errors at the end of the day.
