Feature Request: Automatically add a bottle deposit

[BB_MA]

I found the feature has been requested, but it doesn’t seem like it has been implemented. Since it may have gotten lost in the shuffle, I’ve decided to bring it up again. It looks like it has been requested since at least May 2016.

If the cashier selects a soda bottle, can we have the ability to automatically select the 5 cent deposit, as a non-taxable add-on? We have many cashiers, and the line of customers is often long, and I don’t want to burden them with having to remember to select the deposit as a separate item.

Thank you for reading/listening :).

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Bottle Deposit

We are opening a cidery and will be selling bottles of hard cider. In Iowa you have to charge a .05 bottle deposit. Is there a way to have this charge automatically added to the sale of a bottle without adding it to the price? i would like it to show on the receipt as a .05 deposit but not have to remember to add to each sale. I guess it would be like a tax but it isn't a percentage and I don't see where I can change a tax from percentage to $.

Thanks for any help.

The worst part is that Square won't even respond to us here to give us any kind of update.
Bueller......? Bueller.....?

This is not rocket science and something they should do immediately.  All other POS systems I’ve reviewed do it.

Hey Square:

It's incredibly obvious that Square has no intention of reading or listening to any of the requests. Their tech support will ALWAYS say "We've noted this as a requested feature." And then they give you their alternative which is ALWAYS a 3rd party add on that will cost you another monthly fee!

If you're an outside reader and thinking of using Square...DON'T! You'll regret it. 

Bottom Line...

Square is/just wants to be a credit card processor and they have ZERO intentions of making the POS any better. They just want it to be basic so they can rip you off for the 2.6% and 3% ++ of each charge.

Don't be fooled by their "clever" marketing. They SUCK!!!

And if ya don't believe me I'd be more than happy to explain how they say they sync with Quickbooks but in actuality THEY DO NOT! I could go on an on about how they're just ripping us off!

Rant over.
