Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do you need write access to my Square account catalog?

A: We require write access to your catalog to automatically manage product sets and pricing rules when you update your categories, ensuring your discounts stay synchronized.

Q: Does this apply online and in-store?

A: Yes! Once configured, the discounts apply automatically across your Square ecosystems.

Q: What happens when I add a new item to my Square category?

A: The app instantly detects the new item and applies the category discount to it. You don't need to manually update the discount's item list.

Q: Can I combine discounts?

A: This depends on your Square settings. By default, Square will apply the discount rules you have configured in your main dashboard.

Q: What happens if I delete a category?

A: The items in that deleted category will no longer receive the discount. The discount itself remains active for any other categories you have mapped it to.

Q: Are there any usage limits?

A: Currently, your usage is completely unlimited! To evaluate fair use, we track whether you process up to 1,000 automated items a month, but this guideline is purely informational and is not enforced. There are no automatic overage charges or hidden fees.
