Hello and welcome to everyone!

Glad you found your way here — yesterday was the Seller Community's 4th birthday. Check out this post for our reflections: 🎂 Seller Community Turns 4: Join New Square Local Groups

How are we all doing? ❤️️ This week is shaping up to be another challenging one for many of us as we face extended social distancing and shelter in place orders. I'm linking out to a few recent conversations below that will hopefully be useful and relevant to your business needs right now. 

Local Business Boards:

• Announcing Square Local Communities 📍

Webinars and Discussion Panels:

• [Video] Square Town Hall Recap: A Conversation about Food & Beverage Businesses

Resources:

• How to Sell Online and Allow for Pickup Orders → especially relevant for coffee shops, restaurants, and similar businesses. ☕️🍔🛍
  
  
  
• Cleaning your Square Hardware FAQS → best practices put together by fellow community manager, @Helen. 🖥📱💻
  
  
• Coronavirus and Your Business: Strategies and Resources → general information and details on alternative payment options. 📑
  
  
• Give and Get Local: A new way for customers to find and support eGift Card sellers → a new directory of Square eGift Card sellers. 💳
