Notes on Payments and Item Descriptions
With Square, you can add notes to items or custom amounts at the time of sale. You can also save descriptions to items in your item library. Learn more about creating items with descriptions.
Item descriptions appear on your digital receipts, in your payment history and in your Item Details spreadsheet. Item descriptions don’t appear on printed receipts.
Note: If a note and description are present for an item within a sale, only the note displays on your customers’ receipts and in the Item Details CSV.
