OMG!!! OMG!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SOOO MUCH!!! I finally figured out how to fix the issue with the stock not being correct for my online site items because of this video and you showing/explaining the exporter XLSX sheet! You really released a whole bunch of stress I had because Squares customer service is terrible and I received no help from the automated messages. You are the best!
In the middle of editing items today a bulk edit option was made available from within the the actual square dashboard without having to export library. Youll have to do a video on that!
Well look at that! I have never done it that way! I will need to do a video on that as well. :) Thanks for sharing! If anyone is reading this comment here is a link to a blog post by Square on how to do this. I'll be sure to make an updated video in the coming weeks on this as well. squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6911-batch-edit-items-categories-and-coupons-with-square-online-store
How do I add a category for barcodes so I can track inventory and also add a location (Aisle A level 2 bin 13) per say. Do I do it within Exel then transfere it to square? or there is a way to do it within square?... thanks so much Sergio Diaz
Hi! I don't actually use the barcodes myself. I'd assume you could import into your Square file. You can definitely add a category to the barcode. I know you can add a location as in store, but not sure about aisle. You might be able to add it in the description of the item?
I do not, but thank you for the feedback! I'll have to film one. In the meantime, if you go to your items > image gallery > Click Upload and select all the files you want to upload. You will be able to grab all the images at one time. When you are in the item you can add any of the images from your library by searching and selecting. I'll add this to my list to film in the coming weeks.
Can adding inventory stock to an item be done with a bar code scan? All my items have bar codes. This would be the easiest and fastest way to add stock. One scan adds one, two scans of the same barcode adds 2, and so on. Or can an inventory scan be used instead?
Hi - I don't use a barcode scanner with Square, but it can be done. Here is an article on the types of scanners that are compatible with your point of sale squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5143-bar-code-scanners-with-square-point-of-sale#:~:text=USB%20Barcode%20Scanners%20are%20supported,the%20scanner%20to%20your%20device. I'm not certain if there are any caveats related to how you can use the barcode scanner depending on the plan you are on, but I didn't find anything quickly.
When you say fulfillments what do you mean? So if you have your inventory loaded into Square already, once you send an invoice and it is paid it should automatically adjust your inventory totals. If you have a lot of changes or issues with inventory you can export your item list, update totals, and reimport. If you only have a few items to update the inventory item count on you can go to the item and individually update the totals as well. Depends on exactly what you are trying to do! LMK
I find it unacceptable that Square does not have a UI to be able to change the tax of a category of items or any other bulk action. Downloading the entire database of items is a risk to crash the entire database.

Oh my goodness I’m so happy the video was helpful! I know how frustrating it is when you can’t get something to work properly.
Hi there , how do you add a SKU number or can Square auto generate the #’s?

Do you have a video showing how to add images to items in bulk, or any easy way? I have 3,500 + items so manually adding images would be impossible.
I do not, but thank you for the feedback! I'll have to film one. In the meantime, if you go to your items > image gallery > Click Upload and select all the files you want to upload.

You’re welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful!
