Transition from Square POS to Square RETAIL?

teamlovely · ‎11-27-2017

Looking for guides/ tutorials/ check-lists, etc on how to transition from using the Square POS app to Square RETAIL. We operate a brick and mortar retail space with various types of inventory and have been using Square POS for 3 years. We have opted in for the free Square RETAIL trial, but would like more instruction on how to easily switch to ensure that we would like to commit. Can anyone point us in the direction of training, etc? Thank you!

Are there any demo/training videos of the Square Retail?

Hello @sandk, currently we don't have any demo or training videos on how to use Square for Retail.

I will pass this suggestion along to our Product Team. I'm sure there are other people out there that are visual learners. 🙂
