Decimal Quantities Beta is live!

[SQPhil]

We've heard your feedback and we are proud to announce that the beta for decimal quantities is now live for iOS! (Please note that this feature is not yet available on Android or for Invoices)

Decimal quantities enables you to sell exact quantities in the unit(s) of measure you use to conduct your business—ounces, pounds, yards, gallons, etc. By previewing decimal quantities on your Square Point of Sale, you will be able to:

• Create items to sell in decimal quantities
• Check out customers purchasing items in decimal quantities
• View decimal quantity items in your cart summary
• Review sales by item quantities
• Refund items with decimal quantities
• Issue and display digital and printed receipts with decimal quantities
• Review your inventory and transactions with decimal quantities in Dashboard
  
  

By participating in this beta and providing us with feedback, you will directly influence and improve this feature. If interested, please comment to this post or reach out to betafeedback@squareup.com. From there, we'll reach out directly with the next steps! 

Thanks!

Phil, Square Beta Team

I would also like to be involved in this beta! We sell meat by the pound so decimals would be great!

[melanicmisses]

We are interested.

[SQPhil]

Hi! 

Thank you for your intersest in this beta! We are only currently testing on iOS devices and invoices. If you use either of these platforms, please reply back and I'll gladly turn this feature on for your account.

The Savory Gourmet Market is interesting in participating!

[SQPhil]

Hi, 

Thanks for you interest in this beta! We don't currently support this feature on Square for Retail. However, if you have an iOS with Square Point of Sale installed, please let me know and I can turn this feature on for you. 

[MethodCycles]

Interested. Using Square Register.

[SQPhil]

Hi, 

Thank you for your interest. We are not currently testing this feature for Squre Register, but I have added you to a list of merchants to contact once we do. 

Best,

[FiveThreadsBeer]

We'd like to give it a go. Or at least learn more please.

@EcoasisBisbee , @Greatergoods , @piporg , @FiveThreadsBeer Thanks for your interest! I have turned on the feature on your accounts to use on your iOS devices and invoices. Please read the instructions on how to get set up here: https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6639

[EcoasisBisbee]

Seems to all work nicely, yet another reason not to write a custom POS, thanks! I'm sure there have been more than a few discussions as to why that feature didn't get baked in from the beginning. Thanks again,

Hi @SQPhil, 

I received an email that it is live in our account, but when I followed the instructions, it doesn't appear to be activated for The Savory Gourmet Market.

Can you check to ensure this is activated for us? Thank you very much 🙂

Hi Phil, 

The Savory Gourmet Market is using Square Point of Sale on IOS (I understand it isn't availabe for Square for Retail which is what we have activated on the backend). We desperately need it for all of our foods to be sold by the pound like deli meats, olive bar, make your own salad bar, and produce. Thank you so much!

[SQPhil]

Hi! 

I went ahead and turned this feature on for your account. You can now test this new feature out on your iOS devices! 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. 

[Jorgill]

Please incldue us in this Beta. We do Wash and Fold laundry service by the pound so decimals would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi!  Our company would like to join the beta testing too.  We are a marina and sell gas/fuel for boats.  We need a decimal function too for selling this.  Thanks!
