Square channel settings
If you are using LitCommerce to list your products on Square, you need to configure your Square channel settings to sync your prices, inventory, orders, and other information with your main store. In this article, we will explain what each section of Square settings means and how to adjust them according to your needs.
The channel name field shows the name of your sales channel on LitCommerce. This name is only used on LitCommerce (does not affect the Square site) and can be changed anytime you want.
This section shows the basic information about your Square account which is connecting with LitCommerce, including Username and connection status. You can also test the connection between LitCommerce and Square by clicking on the Test connection button.
If the channel connection is showing as Disconnected, please click to Reconnect.
This section allows you to control how the prices of your products on Square are synchronized with the prices on your main store.
Price Sync: If you enable this option, LitCommerce will adjust the prices on Square to match with the main store, and any changes in the prices in your main store will be reflected on Square automatically.
Use Sale Price: By default, LitCommerce uses the compare-at price (if available) for price synchronization. If this option is enabled, we will use the sale price for price synchronization.
For example, if you have a product with a regular price of $10 and a compare-at price of $15 on your main store, LitCommerce will use $15 as the price on Square by default. However, if you enable this option, LitCommerce will use the regular price ($10) for price synchronization instead.
Price Rules:
This option allows you to automatically adjust the prices of all listings on Square in relation to the prices on your main store. You can choose to increase or decrease the product price by a fixed amount or a percentage, and round up or down the final price.
For example, if you have a product with a regular price of $10 in your main store, and you choose to increase the product price by 20% and round up the final price on Square, LitCommerce will use $12 as the price on Square.
