Learn how to make the most of the new customer acquisition and retention capabilities from Square Online listed below to increase the volume of online orders.
Order with Google
You can drive more pickup and delivery orders with Google’s seamless integration into Square Online. Once you’ve claimed your Google establishment Profile, an Order Online button will instantly display on your listing in Google Search and Maps, leading clients to your ordering page if you run a food and beverage establishment that offers pickup or delivery through Square Online. To maximize online orders without paying exorbitant marketplace fees, don’t forget to designate Square Online as your preferred pickup and delivery connection.
Facebook Food Ordering
Square Online also allowed you to add “Order Food” buttons to your profiles and tales this year by integrating with Facebook and Instagram. Through this interface, you may reach more clients on social media who are active and looking for new restaurants.
You own the customer connection when orders are placed on your Square Online ordering page instead of a third-party marketplace, and you can run targeted marketing efforts to entice repeat business.
New campaign options in Square Marketing
Square Marketing has new automation to help you drive more online orders for marketing campaigns. Customers who have abandoned their carts are reminded to complete their orders, and purchase reminder automation encourages repeat business with your company to foster client loyalty.
