Feature Request: Customize category icons, and add photos to categories like items

The title of this post has been edited from the original: Can you apply pictures for categories?

 

Would LOVE to be able to add a picture to each Category I create. I see we can add a picture for items but not for categories. Could you send a request for a future update for this? Would make our Square Register screen so much nicer and prettier. Thank you.

Re: Pictures for Categories

Hello @ryanwnzl  

 

I know this thread has been around the sun a couple of times now. I've gone ahead and reached out to our Item Library Product Manager for an update. Currently this request is on the backlog and we're not expecting it to be implemented anytime soon. I understand this isn't the answer a lot of sellers want to hear, but I want to be as transparent as possible.

 

There are a lot of factors that come into play when prioritizing feature requests - comments like all of yours on this thread are one of the big inputs our product teams take into consideration. However, there are other things to consider as well -  build time, engineering bandwidth, and cost to name a few, as well as balancing this request with others that may take up time from the same engineering group.

 

I know there are 8 pages of comments about this issue, and it is a lot. Some of these factors like engineering bandwidth are less visible to you all, which is why I wanted to give a little insight into some of the behind-the-scenes work.

 

Thank you for your patience, and understanding - our eng teams are working on other features that we hope make POS even better for you. If we have updates on this thread, we'll post them here. All of you who have commented are already subscribed, and anyone new to the thread can click the "Subscribe" link on the first page.

@BluMonkey - you're right, this has not actually been solved yet. We marked an response with "Best Answer" so that new sellers who visit this thread can easily find a response from Square. We know we still have work to do here, and will keep you updated. Thanks for bearing with us! 

Adding my two cents - Would love to have the ability to add pictures to the category tiles

Agree. Category pics, please.

SQUARE PLEASE ALLOW US TO EDIT THE CATEGORY ICON. 

All I get still, is to add or delete items that belong to that category. I do not see a "tap to edit" option.

Would you mind checking for updates in the App Store? It was released in a newer version of our app. 🙂

There was no update in the App Store for this on my iPad or Mac.

Funny story, I actually misscomunicated here. This feature is actually coming out in the next version of the app! So sorry about that. I'll ping this thread again when it's released!  

Here I got so excited over this. 🤓
