Hello..Ive created a second website for my location..as an online only seller of a separate brand.  How do I direct the sales through this site...only have those items for that site on that site and...have the receipts etc reflect that brand.  

My two sites are Issaquah Coffee and Grand Champion.  I dont want Issaquah logo's to print on Grand Champion receipts.  And, dont need all the items from issaquah to be available on the Grand Champion site.  I want them separate.

 

Also...subscriptions.  I have created individual monthly or bi weekly subscriptions.  I dont know how to allow a customer to change the quantity, add notes, add ship to, or, add link at the top in the directory to the Subscriptions.

 

Thanks..Mike

Hello Community Members! Jessica here, from VA. I am a passionate advocate of continuous learning, personal growth, being of service to others, creativity, curiosity, and adventure!

 

I immensely enjoy reading, learning about technology/blockchain, writing, research, and analysis - you know, the typical nerdy stuff. Gardening, music, enjoying nature, and creating art, are some of my favorite pastimes.

 

I joined the Community to listen and learn from others; and to share my thoughts, experiences, and pain points.

 

I am looking forward to engaging & networking with this Community!

 

I appreciate the opportunity.

 

Best,

 

Jessica

Hi All - my husband and I own Soldier58.com.  We sell vintage, antique, model home, and estate furniture, home decor, and art.  We've had our website for years but we just closed our brick & mortar shop to focus entirely on our online business.  I'm thrilled that AfterPay will soon be available to us but I'm interested in knowing if anyone else sells large items like furniture online and how you handle shipping/freight for these items.  Currently it's up to the buyer to arrange their own shipping, which isn't ideal.  I'd like to know what others are doing.  ~ Johanna

Hi!  I'm Linda, my husband and I own Specialties Games, Toys, Gifts in San Angelo, TX.  We have a shop that's about half specialty toy and half hobby gaming.  We've used Square for off-site processing for years, and moved to Square for Retail in late 2019.  Our website is www.specialtiesgames.com and our social handle is @specialtiesgames on FB, Insta (and occasionally TikTok and YouTube).  Glad to be here!

Hi @specialtiesgame 

 

I love your website. The colors make the site look bright and fun! 

 

The Shop By Age and Quick Gift Finder are extremely useful. Very cool!

Thanks!  I tried to make it as similar as possible to how people shop in our store.  The most common request is "I need a gift for a __ year old"

I have gone the other way. I just closed my brick and mortar, and will be concentrating on my online with a few shows thrown in... but I am 73, so am slowing down anyway.

Good luck.

Hi, my name is Joyce. I own a small retail bricknmortar metaphysical shop. I have been in business over 7 years. Recently many other shops like mine have opened in the area, and with economic downturns I am struggling hard. I also recently retired from working a "real" job and social security is definately not what you think. lol. I am happy though to have made it this far and I sure hope I have my shop for at least another 7 years!

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm Alicia. I own a non-toxic nail salon, Peint, in tropical Houston TX. I've been in and around the nail industry for 30 years this month. I opened Peint to offer something a wee bit different in the nail space.  The salon turned 2 years old in January and now it's time to stretch outside my comfort zone.

 

I'm adding e-commerce and in-salon sales in Q1. This group will certainly be helpful as I grow.

 

My past life included luxury wholesale and retail sales. Sometimes it was magic and sometimes it was tragic!

 

Find me on IG or FB @getpeinted.

HI! My Name is Kristin and my sister and I own Alchemical Sisters, a Metaphysical/Self Care shop in Pitman, NJ. We have a  brick and mortar as well as an online shop. alchemicalsisters.com We offer Candles, Crystals, Tea, Beauty Products, CBD, etc. We have been using square for retail since we opened our shop in April 2021. We are currently struggling with getting our Facebook/Instagram and TikTok shops connected to our site. If anyone has experience in doing this, we would love any suggestions you might have. 

 

Looking forward to the support and connection here!

Hi Kristin,

We had the same issue. I contacted the tech people at Square and they connected our site to our Instagram and Facebook.
They handled it quickly.

 

Hope that helps.

I have not been able to find a way to connect to tech support. I call the 855 number and it asks for a code, which I am not able to get at the link they direct me to. So frustrating. Do you have a way of getting through?
