Common Questions
Do I need Square to use Welcome?
No—Square is optional. You can enter menus manually.
Will changes in Square automatically update Welcome?
Depends on your sync settings. You can re-import anytime to pull updates.
What if I use Square at some locations but not others?
Connect only the locations that use Square. Others operate independently.
Is there a cost for the Square integration?
The basic integration is included in Welcome. No extra charge.
