Does Square have any idea as to how soon they might have a solution?<div>Nanc<br><br>On Friday, April 1, 2016, <<a href="mailto:stardot@comcast.net">stardot@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000"><div><br></div>
<div> All -</div>
<div>(I know it is April 1 but this is not an April Fool's prank.) I have been working to set up Square Register and have gone through almost all of the necessary setup. In many ways, I like it much better than QuickBooks POS and I was planning to implement it at Docks In. I have been testing sales using small amounts of money and that all worked fine, but yesterday I was caught off guard by what may be an important issue. It seems that Square sells things only in unit quantities - you can't sell a fraction of an item. This makes it difficult to sell 14.7 gallons of gas. We can easily sell in units of 1/10 of a gallon, 147 tenth gallons instead of 14.7 gallons, but this means the price per gallon would always be multiples of a dime (18 cents per tenth gallon would be $1.80 per gallon, 19 cents per tenth gallon would be $1.90 per gallon, etc. and you can't make a price with fractions of a penny). Another option, probably better, would be to sell the whole gallons at the desired price per gallon and enter any tenths as a separate item. Square says they are working on it, lots of businesses want to hook up a scale or sell in fractions of a pound, but for today a fraction of a unit is not a feature. </div>

<div>I need some feedback - do you consider this to be a dealbreaker? QuickBooks POS is still fully functional. Rounding the price per gallon up or down a penny or two would not be a big deal, and we don't have so many fuel sales that entering two line items would be a huge hassle, but either way is less than optimal. Please let me know your thoughts.</div>
