[New] Archive Items on Square for Retail

Hi Sellers! 👋

 

Archive items from your Square Dashboard to make managing your item catalog and inventory reports easier than ever. 

 

You and your staff can now designate items to ‘Archive’ status to keep your item history, and view your catalog and inventory reports with simplicity. 

 

  • Never worry about deleting items again — quickly change multiple items’ status to Archive one-at-a-time or in bulk 

  • Easily filter your catalog and reports to remove archived items from view

  • After archiving unneeded items, get relevant and actionable Low Stock Alerts and Auto PO recommendations

And if you ever need to bring an item back, simply unarchive it. To begin, visit Items and navigate to your Item Library. Follow step-by-step instructions here. 

 

💡 Note: You can manage archived items from Square POS, Square Appointments Point of Sale, and Square Retail POS. Archived items are not available on Square Restaurants POS app. 

 

To try out Square for Retail features for free, get started here.

This is FANTASTIC! We have thousands of products on our item list, a few hundred of which we will no longer carry. Being able to archive them for historical reasons without deleting them will be excellent!

FANTASTIC!  This will definitely clean up our inventory.  Thanks Square!

Question.  I am not seeing the "Item Status" column when I export my item library.

I noticed this feature was announced today but my dashboard still doesn't allow me to archive items. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on?

Same. This is a great feature if we could actually use it!

Neat, in addition though:

 

I would like to archive item variations. 

I would like to archive discounts.
