What you can do

What Square data does inside Dear CFO

Every location side by side

Sales, orders and refunds by location, so the store that is slipping shows up this week rather than at month end.

What sold, and what it earned

Order line items and catalog variations show which items drive revenue, joined to what they cost in your accounting.

Cash you can see arriving

Payouts and payout entries show what reached the bank and what fees and refunds took out of it.

Questions

Square and Dear CFO

Do I have to pick locations?

No. Every location syncs by default, and you can narrow the list later if some should be left out.

Can Dear CFO take payments or refunds?

No. Every permission Dear CFO requests from Square is read-only, and disconnecting revokes access on Square’s side.

Does it work with a Square sandbox?

Yes. Sandbox data is labelled so it is never mistaken for real sales.
