Now you can offer subscriptions or memberships directly through your Square Point of Sale! This is a great way to cross-sell your customers at check-out with relevant subscription products your business offers. Conversely, you can also cancel an existing subscription or membership through your Point of Sale. Additionally, you can use Subscriptions add-on on your Point of Sale to easily look up whether a customer has an active subscription or membership with your business.
How it works: When a customer is at your Square Point of Sale, you can offer to subscribe them to an existing subscription or membership plan with your business. You will be able to pick the subscription plan through the Point of Sale and then add the customer either as an existing customer or create a new one. After that, your customer will be billed automatically for the subscription through the chosen payment method (Eg. Card on File or Invoice).
How to get started: In order to start using Subscriptions on your Square Point of Sale, you will first need to install the free Subscriptions add-on through the Add-on Library located in your Square Point of Sale app. Find out more about how to install and manage add-ons to Square Point of Sale.
You will also need to create subscription plans through Square Dashboard (you cannot currently create subscription plans through the Point of Sale). Once they are created, they will be automatically available with the installed Subscriptions add-on on your Square Point of Sale. Find out more on how to create subscription plans through your Square Dashboard.
What does it cost?: Installing the Subscription add-on is free and there are no monthly fees to offer subscriptions to your customers. You will only pay processing fees of1.9% for UK/EEA cards and 2.9% for non-UK/EEA cards per payment until 17 November.
Starting 17 November 2022, transaction rates will change from 1.9% for UK and EU cards and 2.9% for non-EU cards to 1.4% + 25p for UK cards and 2.5% + 25p for non-UK cards. Consult the FAQ page to learn more.
