How to Sell Online and Allow for Pickup Orders

NoteThis post was updated by a community moderator on April 20, 2020 to reflect app improvements and feature enhancements. These features are currently only available to sellers in the Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the US, Canada and Australia.

 

As COVID-19 news changes by the minute, the new reality of social distancing is setting in. We also heard from a few restaurant owners within the Seller Community and we wanted to offer some solutions that can keep your business running.

 

If your restaurant faces reduced foot traffic or if your local government instructs you to pause operations, our Square Online Store can help your business stay afloat by enabling you to take orders online for in-person pickup.  

 

How in-person pickup works:

  1. Your existing Item Library automatically imports into your Square Online Store.
  2. Customer orders made via Square Online Store connect directly with your Square Point of Sale system.
  3. You won’t have to change your current process and can go forward with accepting online orders quickly.

If you haven't tried Square Online Store, check out this video for a comprehensive set up guide:



 

 

For more specifics on enabling pickup and local delivery features, have a look at these resources:

 

As we band together to combat the spread of the coronavirus, I see how these efforts impact friends, family and my favourite local businesses. If any you have questions or insight on what's worked well so far — please weigh in below.

 

We hope this helps you navigate through the days ahead, and we'll certainly keep you updated as we're able to remove obstacles.

Hi,

 

I like this post and business idea. I was wondering whether you guys have a similar software to Square Online Store or the same one in the Portuguese language. I would like to be able to offer it as a service in my home country where business owners can also setup their own online stores. 

 

Thanks,

Hey @Agostinho Thanks for reaching out! At this time, we do not have a way to offer the online store in other countries, but if your customers view your current online store, it will display in the language they have set for your browser. You can accept international cards through the online store as well. 

 

We’re working to bring payment processing to more markets and will keep you posted. In the meantime, feel free to download Square Point of Sale from the Apple App Store or Google Play to record payments and create receipts for your customers.
