Re: With Square E-commerce for nonprofits, can you set up a page with recurring donations?

We introduced the ability to offer a recurring donation option last summer 

 

I can give you a quick rundown here - let's go! 

 

You'll start by heading to your Square Dashboard > Online Checkout

Click the Create checkout link in the top right-hand corner:

 

 

Select Accept a donation from the options in the pop-up:

 

 

On the next page, you'll want to give your donation item a name, and possibly a description.
Most importantly, be sure to click Advanced settings to toggle ON the Accept recurring donations setting.

 

This is also where you can select the frequency of the recurring donation and set a donation goal (optional).

 

 

At the bottom of this window, you can also add custom fields!

 

 

Be sure to hit Create link - now you've got your checkout link! If you want to customize the text shown on your button, locate your created checkout link from the Checkout Link page, and click it. Next, select Customize:

 

 

If you want to add this button to your website, copy the Website button code and head over to your website editor and insert it wherever you want customers to see your donation button 

 

 

Here's an example of my checkout link offering recurring donations:

 

 

If any questions come up as you create your checkout link, feel free to let us know here so we can dig with you, @RogerS!

Re: Does Square offer subscriptions for online store purchases?

Hey there  @Gabberdunes -

 

At this time, the only way to do this is by creating a Recurring Invoice Series. However, customers wont be able to opt in when placing online orders since online won't recognize them as an invoices.

 

I'll pass tag your idea as a feature request so the Product Team gets word of what you're looking for. Keep an eye out for updates!

Re: Membership Management

The answer is YES

 

If I set up the Club Membership as an item, will it be able to get a report of the item sold together with the name of customers who bought it?  Yes, you can assign a customer to any sale.  If you are selling a recurring membership you can do this through recurring invoices.  If the customer saves there payment information then it will auto charge the account each month.

 

Can I get a report of all payments going through the linked bank account for reconciliation purposes? There are many reports you can use to show payment and daily deposits.

 

Also, can multiple users share access to the software? Yes, You can use employee management to give controlled access to the app.

Hey @TABMin🌟

 

Just wanted to update this thread with our most current options.

 

As @RHatch said, you can create a recurring invoice to function as a subscription. This will autocharge your customer on a schedule of your choosing.

 

OR 

 

We also have subscription payments with Square Checkout links. With Square Online Checkout you can set up one checkout link with the subscription feature enabled. Instead of using Square Invoices for recurring payments, the subscription checkout link can be used to accept weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual payments from multiple customers with a single checkout link. You can also self-select which specific checkout links your customers will be able to pay through. For example, use donation links for accepting monthly payments from donors/supporters.

Has there been any movement on the membership program?  I have many clients who are requesting memberships and rewards programs to be rolled out right now when they are watching their budgets more closely.

I am also looking for this for my business and new products we are launching.  I would like to know if this is possible to have customers sign up directly from my website as a member and be able to let them choose these options to include:

  1. Monthly subscriptions
  2. 3 month subscriptions

As well as letting them be a rewarded customer when they choose auto pay, and come in for ex.:

  • so many services or
  • purchase so many items, like buy 12 get 1 free.

Hi there!

 

I currently pay for a premium website. I'm looking at expanding my services to offer subscriptions and would love to utilize membership services with weebly. Is membership services available on the premium platform or do I need to upgrade?

Hey @SLW1,

 

I moved your post to an existing feature request thread I found for this question.

 

It looks like this isn't something Weebly offers with our online store at this time but other sellers are asking for it so hopefully it will be something they offer in future improvements!

 

We'll be sure to update this thread if/when it becomes available.

I'm looking for something similar. I run a golf driving range and miniature golf. We sell seasonal memberships which are tiered. It's a "one-time" payment for a specific time of April through September. We pro-rate the price as the season nears the end.

 

I need to be able to assign a physical membership card to each member that they can use to check in for the day or an option for them to check in on the front facing tablet. My demographic includes too many customers who do not use smart phones - so their has to be a physical option. It needs to pull up their profile on square so I can match their face with the picture on file and show their membership status. Also, check them in for the day so I can see how many times a year they use their membership.

 

Almost like a gym membership.

 

Right now my members have to use a sign in sheet and remember their membership number. My employees can't match a face a member to confirm they are not just signing in using someone else's information.

 

This seems like such a simple task, but I have been looking for a solution that is easy on my members and employees.

I want to use the Membership item in the Online Store as a Subscription Box. I can do most of it but I can't figure out how to make the "membership" shippable. I also want to change the words from "join/renew" on the checkout page.

Hey there @thebrainlair! I had to double check on this with one of our Weebly specialists. Here's what I've got:

 

  1. A membership can't be made shippable. But you can create a modifier and call it "shipping", which can be added to the membership. Assuming you're using flat rate, the cost will be the same regardless of where you ship.
  2. The wording is not able to be edited at this time. 

Give us a shout if anything else comes up!

I'm curious if Square has updated their capacities offer a built in subscription model to the check out process of the e-commerce websites? 


1) Has anyone developed and app or a plugin for a subscription model? 

2) Has Square, made this an in-house system yet?
3) Am I missing something? 

I'm trying to find the best site that integrates a subscription system. If anyone has any other thoughts that would be appreciated. 

Thank you!

We're an official Square Partner and built this feature into our official Square Mobile App solution called Pre-Order. We used Square's API + a web based dashboard (for managing it) to build it.

 

That keeps it very compatible with Square, yet super flexible and adaptable.

 

If you're interested, we can set up a demo of it for you, so you can test it out. We typically make .05 to .50 test subscriptions. We've had it on our to-do list this month.
