QuestionCan you make a note for each transaction. Like A, B ,C and that show up in a list. Want to have 'Simple' visibility of what was bought.
Asked 9 months ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You're not able to add notes to a payment after it’s been processed. However, you can add optional notes to items or custom amounts during the checkout process (https://squ.re/4d3rf5Z). You can then export your transaction history from the Square Dashboard, and any notes added during a sale will be included in the report (https://squ.re/4a0iQOH).
