How do you add a percentage onto a line item?

harcottr · ‎11-17-2017

Hi - I’m actually not looking to charge in US currency - I would like to know how to add an item to add a percentage onto the line item. Does that make sense?

Understood @harcottr! You have a couple of options.

You could set up a tax (as a percentage) and you can change the name. To change the name of a tax from the Point of Sale app: tap Settings > Taxes > and tap on Name/the current name to edit.

Or, you could create an item with a variable price for this fee. To create an item with a variable price, leave the price at $0.00. You could then calculate the fee outside of Square and when you select the 'fee' item from the app you'll prompted to enter the amount.

Hope these help! If you have any additional questions let me know!

@Helen -- This is exactly what I was looking for. As I do most of my work on my laptop, I noticed that I wasn't able to find this option in the web browser version -- is this the case or am I just not finding the right place?

Thanks in advance
