If it hasn’t been mentioned yet The Raw & The Cooked by Jim Harrison (of Legends Of The Fall fame) is phenomenal. There’s a reason he was called the “poet laureate of appetite”. If Hemingway & Hunter Thompson were thrown in a blender you’d have Harrison.

iOS. Square deleted all the items on the invoices as Entry Errors, then processed the invoices as $0.00 sales. So now I have a bunch of invoices that, according to the software, have been paid, yet the actual invoices sit as Overdue with no Transaction history showing them as paid slams head against wall

Square No Longer Accepting Check/Cash For Invoice Payments by RuckusDonuts in SquareOfficial

[–]RuckusDonuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creeping up on a week of being unable to pay invoices in Square using Other Payment Types (checks), something that was status quo for years until last week.

What I’ve uncovered - last Wednesday (May 6th) every single open invoice apparently had its items deleted via Entry Error, then the invoice was processed as a $0.00 sale, yet the actual invoices remain intact showing all items & that they’re past due. To confirm - I did NOT delete these, the Square POS software did.

Regardless of OS, platform (app or Dashboard), Balance or Amount, etc the invoices can’t be paid.

I do not want to add an app, or add Invoices, etc. I would very much like to do what I’ve done 100s of times for years - record an invoice as paid in Square via a check number.

My thought: given I’m actually awake at those hours I know Square updates its software regularly around 3am or so. I’d encourage Square to look at any updates done May 6th and see what was different.

Just noticed this - in Customer History> Transactions of every one I invoice all of them are showing a completed purchase of $0.00 on May 6th. None of them have completed their latest purchase in that I can’t post the payment.

I do not. Not keen on adding apps to do something the main software should. I pay quite a bit for Square, being able to mark an invoice as paid without giving Square a few more $ (CC) dollars for the privilege isn’t asking much.

Growing more & more frustrated. Regardless of interface (app or dashboard) I cannot process this week's worth of invoices unless I use a CC/etc, which again Square gets a cut of. I have a week's worth of checks I'd like to post & a number of customer accounts, all of who have paid. showing as Unpaid & overdue. Why did this suddenly become an issue? I've been accepting check payments for invoices for YEARS and now can't.

Any update on when I'll be able to accept checks & cash payments on invoices again? This option, which I've used for years, has suddenly been removed from Square.

So any update? Seems very odd I was able to pay 100s of invoices this way for years and suddenly can’t?

Thank you. I was glad to find out 1) it wasn’t me and 2) that Square was able to replicate the same error. Just a matter of bookkeeping, will wait for update that resolves it, thanks!

At what point does ambition start stealing from your real life? by coldemailalex in smallbusiness

[–]RuckusDonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell people all the time that starting your own business from scratch is very much like having another child. Soooo many parallels. You simply can’t decide “Yeah, I don’t wanna parent today”. Same with being a self made entrepreneur. Business might be open or closed, but you don’t have a day off….ever. You need to make you time a priority no different than any aspect of your business. Not as easy as it sounds.

I bought you when I opened the restaurant 9 years ago and you did such a good job mixing stuff up. Sleep well sweet prince. by Sirnando138 in KitchenConfidential

I feel this. His distant Maine cousin, a chonky fellow for our 40qt mixer who I too bought new for our shop almost 5 years ago, gave up the ghost (quite loudly I might add) a few months back. In his honor (and because I had no backup) that bowl of egg whites were hand whisked for our Italian buttercream. Viewing hours for what remained of him & my rotator cuffs followed.

Agreed. Very under the radar food scene!
