    Thank you for this. I have never really used SKU number, but think I will going forward as never really thought about using it in the way you have explained. Definitely help to keep a detailed record of what sells.

    Hey Cameron, we loved your video (and cute beanie)! SKUs are definitely useful tools for inventory tracking; we recommend pairing them with inventory management softwares for real-time data! 🙌

    How do you track the sku numbers for items people pay cash for? Do you write them down and update your excel and square later?

    • @mcdalongpresents
      @mcdalongpresents Рік тому +6

      You can accept cash and use square to record that sale just like you would a CC sale. Just choose Cash on the checkout screen.

    Hey Camryn how do you track the SKU if someone is checking out with cash? Thank you!

    • @camryns_cute_creations
      @camryns_cute_creations  Рік тому

      You can put cash sales through square or write down the cash skus & update later!

    And then you can download code 39! And make a barcode with your sku number and attach a barcode scanner!

    I dont take card yet, but could I take the sku number off the tag and stick it in a note book or file to keep track of them until I can take card?

    Did you say that adding and using SKU's was a free part of Square? When I look up my account, they want me to buy a free trial? I have been using it to charge, but that's all I've done so far.

    Have you ever thought using QR code for your SKU? It’s faster to scan than typing? 🤔
