We've used Square for about two years now, and there is an inventory feature that would make our lives so much easier. I was wondering if it might be in the works. We're a vinyl record store with over 30,000 items. We would love a way to differentiate whether an item is in stock, out of stock, or (and this is what we need) out of stock but on order. With so many items coming from so many vendors, it doesn't really work to keep a bunch of separate spreadsheets of incoming items, so as of now, we simply add the ordered quantity to the in-stock inventory for the title. Because of this, we don't have true inventory numbers, we often wind up with duplicate orders, or items we think we ordered which we haven't. We are also very keen on using Square Online to start selling on our website, and were excited to see the real-time inventory update function, but right now, with all of our "on order" titles entered as actually being on hand, our website would never have a true representation of what we really did have in stock. Hopefully that makes sense. We've had to kind of improvise to make Square work for us, and this is really the one and only stumbling block we've got. I know that, as a vinyl record store, we are kind of a specialized niche store, but I can't imagine that every retailer who uses Square wouldn't love to have this functionality added to the program. For ourselves, this added functionality would make a huge difference in our ordering procedure, plus it really is the only thing keeping us from selling on our website using Square. Please let us know if this feature might be in the works sometime in the foreseeable future? Thank you, Mark Utley, Manager, Morrow Records
