Merchants can integrate a synchronized online store, sell through social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, and provide options for curbside pickup, local delivery, and shipping. The customer directory records preferences and feedback with each transaction, automatically building customer profiles. This information can be used to review purchase histories, segment customers for targeted email campaigns, and personalize communications.\n\nSquare Point of Sale offers tools for monitoring business performance through the Square Dashboard and integrated sales reports, accessible from any device. Merchants can view real-time sales data by location, track transactions and deposits, and manage inventory remotely.
