Square to possibly implement recurring invoices/auto pay

To whom it may concern,

I got excited to see that invoicing is now included but was let down to see that recurring invoices still are not a feature.
Would be great to have Square do Recurring invoices so I didn't have to use Paypal recurring.
Any plans to implement recurring invoices/auto pay for subscriptions or services?

Square:

Hello Aaron,

Square does not currently support processing subscription or recurring payments, but it’s one of our top requested features and we’re actively building a solution. I can’t offer a concrete timeline for this feature, but I wanted to let you know that I hear you — and we’re on it.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.

Have A Marvelous Day!


So hopefully it's true!

I've been waiting & ready for Square to start this. Hope it is soon.

I don't use Square personally but I've used Stripe for my credit card processing and have been quite happy with them and their feature offerings...

Have you ever setup a bar code scanner with Square? I have to setup a new store coming to our local mall with Square and one of his needs is a bar code scanner.

No with Square, but with PCRT... The barcode scanners should all work for anything.. in the end they are basically just a keyboard. Scanning the barcode will "type" the number. From there your scanner will have some options/setting such as inserting carriage returns or TABs or spaces, suffixes or prefixes to the code to fit your system.. it's really easy.. just point the scanner at a "special barcode that sets it as seen for example here:

So you should be able to do it, I would imagine. I suppose the platform you are running square on would be the most important factor in determining which scanners would work? Never tried to hook a scanner to my Android phone.. but with a USB OTG cable it *should* work.

I have set them up before. I just didn't know how well it would work with Square. The two times I have setup a Square system was with the iPad which is what the customer prefers for his.

I know this is an old thread but I just asked Square about the recurring invoicing and got the same canned response...

Yeppers.. still waiting for that. I might be 80 by the time it rolls out, if ever.

Not really sure why more don't look into the QuickBooks GoPayment? http://quickbooks.intuit.com/payments/gopayment_product_page Offers this feature and links right into Quickbooks....

I didn't know they dropped the price on this. Its .10 cents cheaper per $100. That's with the transaction fee. I may look into this. Thanks @SoloCon

Darn I came into this thread thinking it was finally released.

I had the same first impression. Only to be shot down.. "Sad trombone noise"
