When will this feature be available? Not having the ability to input cash payments at a later date seems ludacris, especially since I don't have staff to do this for me. 

Currently we don't have a time line we can share regarding this feature request, @Rayahmora. I will pass your feedback along to our product team! If his changes in the future I will make sure to update the thread.

This spoke my mind so well I'm not even leaving a separate comment. Upvote for sure!

I know you stated Square is working on it, is there an approximate date for when this feature will be released? 

Square has no intention of allowing us to edit this field because it will create havoc and they won't admit to it. The solution is so simple. It is simply a date field in the database that defaults to today's date. Allowing us to edit creates a support nightmare.

This thread is super old, have there been any updates since then? This would be incredibly helpful for reporting.

Basically for 7+ years Square has been saying “we’re never going to implement this feature.” It doesn’t matter how much sellers need it or explain why it’s needed. Their answer is no. 

Winter is my slow season, and I plan to find another POS system then. 

I am having the same issue! As a small business, occasionally cash payments fall by the wayside in the Square app when things get busy. I would like to add a few cash payments to my report from a few days ago, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this. Very frustrating indeed. 

Me Too!

Me too!  Please add this option asap if you can.

Hey @JoyCakes, no updates yet. I will make sure to flag your post for the product team though! 

If anything changes I will make sure to update the thread. 😃

Please add my name to the list to receive this update.  I'm confused: how can I accurately keep track of inventory through Square if I cannot enter cash transactions?

Hey @alicia830, thanks for getting in touch.

You can still enter in cash payments, though they can't be backdated. You can also adjust your inventory manually when necessary. We do not have any updates on the ability to backdate, but be sure to subscribe to any topics that you want to keep an eye on — you'll receive a notification as soon as any news come through.

Hope this helps for now!

When will this update occure?? It seems clients have been asking for your team to resolve this issue for over a yr and a half?

This should have been added by now this is an essential part of day to day operations. This is poor service considering the percentage rates that are being charged. Please stop beating around the bush, I does not appear to be proffesional business

practices to respond that your team is working on it and this far down the road have still to come to a resolution? 

Its simply a field in the database. Right now it defaults to today's date. If it were changed to allow any date, chaos would reign. It would take about 2 minutes to make this change.
