Item Name Format
How book by book names new items in Square. Pick a preset (Title only, Title / Author, Title - Author, Title (Format), Title / Author (Format)) or write a Custom Format using title, author, format and publisher. The preview shows an example.
Item Description Format
What goes in the Square item description:
- Release date first: the release date, then the book's description. Useful for preorders.
- Release date last: the description, then the release date.
- Description only: just the book's description.
Inventory Mode
- Auto-adjust inventory: Update Square adds copies to your Square inventory and records unit cost right away.
- Generate purchase orders: book by book creates any new items, then downloads a spreadsheet you import into Square as a purchase order. Inventory changes when you receive the purchase order in Square.
Update Existing Books
When an order includes books you already carry, choose which details book by book refreshes on those items: Title, Price, Description and Cover image. Unchecked details are left as they are in Square. Inventory is added either way.
Vendor Rates
Manage Vendor Rates sets a default discount for each vendor, used to fill in missing unit costs. See Vendors and vendor rates.
Book Conditions
For stores selling used books. Add condition creates a condition such as Like New, Good or Fair. Each condition becomes its own variation of the Square item, with its own price and stock, and the condition is added to the end of the SKU. You can give a condition a category that's added automatically, such as "Used".
Choose a book's condition in its details on Build Order or Review.
Square Connection
Reconnect Square signs in to Square again. Use it if Square asks you to, or if book by book can't reach your catalog.
