Square runs physical businesses, where the person doing admin was on their feet all day. Typally types what you say straight into Square — hold a key, talk, let go — so you can dictate anywhere Square lets you type.
Disclosure: Typally is our product. We have tried to describe what Square already does without talking you out of using it.None. Item descriptions, customer notes and campaign text are typed.
A café or salon owner does the books after closing. Item descriptions, customer notes and marketing messages all compete with going home, so they are done badly or not at all.
In practice people use it for: Item and menu descriptions, customer notes, marketing campaign text, and refund explanations.
Nothing changes inside Square itself. Typally sits in the tray and types into the focused window:
Windows or macOS build, signed in once.
Click first. Typally types into Square wherever the caret already is, with no idea what that field is for.
Nothing truncates part-way through.
Square's item fields have length limits that vary by surface — online store versus point of sale.
Typally types into Square's dashboard fields in the browser, so the descriptions get written in the time it takes to say them once. For an owner-operator doing admin at the end of a long day, that difference is whether it happens at all.
A café owner describes forty menu items out loud after closing, in about twenty minutes. The online ordering page stops reading like a spreadsheet and starts sounding like the shop.
Describe menu items the way you would to a customer at the counter. You have said it hundreds of times, which makes it the easiest good copy you will ever write.
