The problem it solves

Pulling together sales and fee totals from Square by hand at the end of every month is tedious, especially if you run more than one location. It is easy to lose track of how much processing fees are actually costing you.

Who it fits

Business owners running multiple Square locations who want a clear monthly financial snapshot.

How it works

  1. A monthly schedule triggers the automation
  2. The system retrieves all Square locations and pulls the previous month's payments for each
  3. Sales, refunds, fees, and transaction counts are totaled by location
  4. An HTML report is built with the results
  5. The report is emailed automatically
What you get

Sales and fee trends you see before month-end

You get a clear monthly picture of sales and processing fees across every location, delivered straight to your inbox.

What you get

A monthly email report showing total sales, fees, and transaction details by location.

What you need

A Square account with API access and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
