How do I merge items from different categories?

Over time, duplicate items were created.  The name may have changed, a different description was given, item misspelled or various reasons why they were created.  Presently, each item is created correctly in the correct category.  However, when creating a report, that item will appear several different ways making it very difficult to read the report.  How do I merge these items so when reading a report, sales of the of the same item are more concise?

Has there been an update for merging items and categories yet? Would make my life so much easier. 

Kind of crazy this can't be solved... Just read through all the comments starting in 2017, crazy that a merge feature is something very much needed in Square and they can't make it happen. Put me on the list of people needing this feature.

Adding my voice to this.  Would like to be able to merge items and get rid of duplicates!

Straight ridiculous it's been 5 years of people asking for this and no movement. This is NOT a hard fix. 

 

I would love to be able to merge items as well.

PLEASE ADD ME TO THE REQUEST TO MERGE ITEMS.  Ideally, we want to merge by sku and there is no workaround for this.  We cannot efficiently manage our business without this SIMPLE feature.

I am absolutely blown away by this not being in effect…Please, For the sake of your customers make this a thing. It is interesting to see how these issues are handled. Are they passed along? Was anyone ever updated on its preogress?

Thanks for following up on this request @HyzerFlip. I have moved this thread over to the Ideate Board, which is our new process of tracking feature requests. In order for a feature to come to fruition there are many factors that come into play and moving parts that have to be considered. To learn more about how feature requests work, please see this post (squ.re/Ideate-Commuity) from one of our Seller Community Moderators. We will make sure to update you guys as more information becomes available. Again thank you so much for hanging in there and working with us on this.
