Is there a way a customer can leave a tip? I get a lot of customers that leave tips when paying via cash or Venmo, but with Credit Card payments via Square, I do not know if they have that option?
Hi Kristen, thanks for your question. You can go into your Square settings and enable tipping, which allows your customers to leave a tip when checking out with Square.
Hi – is there a way I can add a “Frequently Asked Questions ” section to my shop’s menu (with its own tab like the “Shop” and “Gallery” tabs)?
Hi Mary, we do not support additional menu customizations. In order to keep this platform low maintenance and currently zero cost, these are one of the decisions we made early on. We suggest putting FAQs on your front page.
Hello! I was wondering if there could be an option to sort of “nudge” for a payment? Example, I had a presale and some have not paid their invoice since the chose to pay through a different platform.
I was thinking of “if not paid by [date] order will be cancelled”
I know this is something that can be done personally via email but just thought of this as a possible option.
Jessica, we automatically send reminders for you- but you should definitely add that note to your homepage AND your terms. Here’s the post that outlines when we send payment reminders: https://info.mycustombakes.com/knowledge-base/understanding-quote-and-order-workflows/
