I'm sorry, but I'm so lost with this one.
I recently joined up with a gallery where they informed me that they use Square for card payments. The people are very nice, but also older (55+) and not quite tech-savvy.
All the people in the gallery space are paid the amount for each of their items that is sold, of course.
They have a Square reader dongle that connects to your personal phone via app, and I was told that all sales made go into the account of the person who rang up the sale NOT the artist who made the piece, and that person who rang up the sale is responsible for transferring it to the correct person once the money is available.
Fwiw, I genuinely believe this is a case of a less tech-savvy generation just doing what they think is easiest & that there is nothing nefarious going on. However, I believe this is ill-advised (obviously) and adds a lot more stress than needs to be. Yes, I very much understand how not-great this system is, which is why I have been trying to find a better solution.
Actual question: That said, is there a way that the money obtained from sales of certain items from certain artists be transferred into the artist's account instead of the cashier's account? I searched quite a few "help" thread on the Squareup site, but I can't quite find what I'm looking for, if such a solution exists at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
EDIT: I may have found a solution!! I think you can print out your own QR codes and have them scanned to have the money go straight to you!
Dashboard --> Online Checkout --> Create Checkout Link --> Sell an Item --> (create or select an item, then
Create Link --> QR Code: Create --> Download QR Code --> Done!
Hopefully this will make things much easier.
