The features added to the online store option over the past few months have been very handy, so props to the development team for finally making it a usable product for pre ordering!
the one thing that seems essential, but doesnโt appear to be available, is the ability for those without credit cards to complete payment. Thereโs still many people here in Canada who have interac only branded cards and do not have visa debit. Because of this theyโre unable to partake in online ordering.
it would be excellent if, when completing checkout using the online store, there could be the option to enable one or both of these:
1) The ability to configure a manual payment method that we would use for EMT to process transactions via email money transfer
2) The ability for a customer to choose โIโll pay in storeโ and still be able to complete their preorder.
Perhaps there would first be a small option saying โI donโt have a credit card or visa/MasterCard branded debit cardโ which, when checked, could then present the above two options.
note: I have noticed a number of businesses that used square as their in-store POS, but for all their pre-ordering during the pandemic, they only accepted orders by email and payment via EMT. The primary reason for this is that they knew they needed to accept debit in all forms and the square online store couldnโt do it for them.
