Hi everyone, I've built an integration with Square and thought it might be useful to share it here. In a nutshell, the app listens to Square transactions and automatically sends out Google review invitations via email and SMS, as soon as a customer makes a payment and receives a receipt. It takes a few clicks to turn on the integration. Below is how it works. We've turned this on for a number of Square sellers and noticed 5-stars reviews coming in almost immediately and regularly. Here is the setup if you want to turn it on for your business. Any feedbacks or questions, please drop me a comment below. Cheers.

We've all been there: stuck on the side of the road with a deflated tire. My van has no spare wheel! Thankfully, many cars come equipped with emergency repair kits that can get you back on your way. But just like any other product, these kits have a shelf life. DID YOU KNOW THAT? Here's a friendly reminder to check the expiry date on your tyre/tire emergency repair kit! Most kits contain a sealant and a pump. The sealant can plug small punctures and temporarily inflate the tyre/tire. However, expired sealant might not be effective, leaving you stranded. Here's how to find the expiry date: Locate your emergency repair kit, usually stored in the boot/trunk or under the floor or passenger/ drivers seat. The expiry date is typically printed on the sealant container or the kit's instructions. What to do if your kit is expired: Replace it! New kits are readily available at auto parts stores or online retailers. In the Uk they are about £10 - CHECK THE WEIGHT OF YOUR VEHICLE Consider the type of kit you purchase. Some sealants can damage the tire, making a permanent repair difficult. Bonus Tip: While some kits come with a pressure gauge, it's a good idea to carry a separate one to ensure proper inflation after using the sealant. By taking a few minutes to check your emergency repair kit, you can be sure you're prepared for a flat tyre/tire situation. Don't let a small oversight leave you in a big bind! & unable to deliver locally

I just learned some important information regarding fire safety; I've had a retail store for five years that I am closing this month, but only now learned about some of this... not only is it important to have working fire extinguishers in your business, but there are many regulations, so please read the following: Employers must check, maintain, and have tested (by a certified professional) all portable fire extinguishers. Details here from the U.S. Dept. of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Fire extinguishers have an expiration date. Check an attached tag for this date, and either replace or have a licensed fire equipment professional check or recharge your extinguishers. Using an expired fire extinguisher can significantly reduce its effectiveness. Any fire extinguisher that has been used (discharged) should not be placed back into service until it is checked/replaced/recharged by a qualified professional. All extinguishers should be checked every year. Proper maintenance and regular inspections are crucial to keep fire extinguishers in optimal condition. Every fire extinguisher requires a tag that shows the last check date and whether it is new or refilled. Your fire extinguisher is good for one year past inspection. Some other important things to keep in mind... Some types of businesses may require a special kind of fire extinguishers. For example, if your workplace has flammable liquids or electrical equipment, you might need a different kind of fire extinguisher to deal with these dangers. And in the same way you have training info and procedures for when your employees face specific incidences (like upset customers or a crisis situation), you should have a fire safety plan in place, and make sure employees are trained in the proper use of fire extinguishers, evacuation routes, and the importance of reporting potential fire hazards promptly. Be sure to also keep documentation of employee trainings and certifications to show to the fire marshal when necessary. 🚒 Fire extinguishers are something we normally don't think much about, UNTIL we have a fire situation that requires quick thinking and response. Please make sure your business is ready and able to handle any potential fire hazards you and your employees may encounter. 🔥

Confession: I have never used Zapier But I do know that many sellers in the Seller Community use it. I feel like I am missing out, that I am not analyzing the data I need to be. Even worse, that I am analyzing the data I need to be, but spending hours a week to create them. So, I was wondering: What is your favorite Zapier zap for Square? I'm wondering if the following sellers have some: @TheRealChipA @JessPoynter @ryanwanner @Candlestore @rtfulk @Twiggy @Minion @Lovewell @Sam_400º @BofBArtStudio @JTPets @PartyManiaMD @lenjobakes @DLRosenberg @MudFire_D @Anthem @Twpchair @Doran @HC_Charlie @homeprogreen @VanKalkerFarms Hoping we all get some great tips and tricks!
