MERCHANT SETUP

Connect Square.
Confirm a few settings.

Keep your Square account and menu. Create your LocalMugs merchant account, link Square and tell us when your stand can prepare pickup orders.

01 · LINK YOUR ACCOUNT

Authorize once, on Square.

From your merchant workspace, choose Connect Square. Square asks you to authorize access to your seller account, then returns you to LocalMugs. Your Square password stays on Square’s authorization screen.

  2. Authorize on SquareApprove the requested access
  3. Return to LocalMugsReview your connected locations

02 · CONFIRM THE BASICS

The settings your stand needs.

Review these before you offer pickup. Keep more detailed controls for when you need them.

Location & menu

Select the participating Square location and eligible menu items or categories. Confirm its address and current prices.

Pickup hours

Set the hours when customers can collect orders, using the location’s time zone and the right address for a traveling cart.

Preparation time

Set how much preparation time to allow before pickup. Review available slots and capacity for the way your team works.

03 · CHECK & SHARE

Check the order at the stand.

Verify that the right Square location receives the drink choices, instructions and pickup time through the workflow your team uses. Review the customer menu, then prepare your location’s ordering link and QR code.

Printer, KDS and Order Manager settings must be verified for your actual setup. LocalMugs does not switch hardware settings for you.

Current connection: Square test mode

This deployment uses Square Sandbox. Account creation does not activate live payments or real pickup. Use an authorized test seller and test payment details; live activation needs separate approval and receiving checks.

Optional controls & setup help

What if we get busy?

Busy mode allows extra preparation time. Paused stops new LocalMugs orders. These controls do not cancel or reschedule orders already paid.

Can we choose which products are online?

Yes. Use eligible items from the connected Square catalog, with merchant and location category choices. Check location-specific availability when reviewing your menu.

Where are the Square printer instructions?

Use Square’s order-ticket guidance and the instructions for your printer or KDS. A test payment alone does not prove a physical ticket printed.

What are the platform fees?

There is no monthly LocalMugs subscription. The platform rate is 20¢ per eligible completed order, capped at $49 per location per month. Square processing fees are separate. See pricing and examples.
