Bobblehead Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I've got a customer (local PTA) who would like to sell spirit wear items in-person. I sent them the link for SS's instructions and videos for doing that - they downloaded the SS and Square apps, got the card reader, but I had to connect their Square account to their site for them. The particular person I was speaking to had "Store Manager" permissions. We soon discovered that "Store Manager" does not actually include the ability to create a transaction on the SS app; she had to have full admin privileges to do that. This seems counter-intuitive and frankly dangerous. I don't think it's a good idea for a random parent volunteer to have full admin access to their website - that's just asking for trouble. Am I missing something? Link to comment

I'll have to remember this moving forward, and write up some kind of boilerplate language warning these kinds of organizations (PTAs, other volunteer-based entities) about this. Link to comment
