Online I allow customers to order, this causes an Order With Line Items to be uploaded and associated with a Transaction - that works great, exactly as I had hoped. The problem is that there is no notification on the Square App to let my operators know that there is a new order that has been paid.
As of right now, I have the workaround of texting the workers, but I feel like there should be an easy way to push this up to the app - what am I missing? Is this possible?
I am not using an online store, just the API. Thank you.
Unfortunately, sending order confirmation to the Point of Sale app from an API payment isn’t currently available for Square’s API.
We are constantly improving the product based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your thoughts with the API team.

With the new API, it is great that we are able to push orders to the POS app - now I just need a way to notify customers that the pick-up is ready. I have my own system seperately right now, but is there any way to do this inside of Square. Or even better, is there any way to hook into a square event?
I see webhooks, but only things like payment, refund, dispute events. Is there any way to catch an order status change?
Currently there are webhooks for different order update events:
You could then create some webservice of lambda to process such webhook payload, and submit an email using some 3rd party email sending solution.
There is a challenge that since you will need to query the square api for the rest of order details, you will need to create a square app, implement oauth etc.
Unfortunately, there's currently no Order webhooks at this time. Webhooks are definitely an area Square's APIs have been focusing and improving lately, so I suspect this to be an area we continue to improve. With that said, there is no ETA on if/when this is coming, sadly we do not share public timelines.
I am so curious about how companies make their own marketplace within an application? I am trying to achieve a marketplace where individuals can sell products on a mobile application. So when a user logs into the app they are met with a live feed of various products. Something similar to the GOAT app, eBay, or Etsy. Usually, I know where to start, however, I have never dealt with an idea so complex. I know it can be done because it has been done multiple times over. However, I am asking if someone could provide me with some guidance. I did some Googling but came out empty-handed. Is there a video tutorial or a step-by-step guide on something like this? I also do not mind buying a course if I can achieve this effect!
Currently, what I have now are three pages! A working signup and login screen with a firebase backend that authenticates a user's email and password. It leads to my home page which is very basic. Just a header with tab navigation! I know it is very barebones... however I came here to see if I can be provided with some steps from here. Maybe even a proper technology stack.
Thank you in advance for any help!

I need to fetch a single latest review given by user and display in a box on product detail page.
I have searched in google for shopify script and app but couldn't find any solution for this. If anybody have done this type of task then please help me.
Thanks in advance!
Shopify has a review App. When you use it in a shop, you can display reviews. Since you control the placement of the reviews, you are in a position to also inspect the reviews from DOM perspective and decide the latest, and what the markup looks like.
Since you know the markup, and you have access to the Shop, you can scrape the latest review using any screen scraper you want to use. With that, you can easily have each products newest review sent back to the App you installed in the shop. Using an App Proxy, you can do a callback asking for the details of the latest review, if any exist, for re-display any way you want.
Sure that is convoluted and weird, but you can do that.
Shopify have its own review app any one can leave review on your products.
You just need to install and configure that app.
I can help you to setup review app it is minutes change
I have an app in the iTunes Store and sales have slowed so want to convert it to a free app from a paid app. The new app will contain an option to buy, using In App Purchase. I was considering using a flag / pre processor macro to then allow full features for those that buy using the IAP, and limit features for those who have not.
The problem will be if I add this new pre processor macro to the new update, those who have previously paid for the app will not be able to use full features, as they would not have used the IAP to "unlock" the full app.
Does anyone have any suggestions to overcome this problem.
I have a few ideas, but in my mind they are not fool proof.
Thanks for assistance.
Pondering exactly the same issue here. The only thing i found workable (under most use cases) is to look-up gamestate information at when the new_free_iAP version starts.
If there is no iAP state, AND if games exist, AND the playtime counter > 0, i will make the assumption that the user bought this and will preseed his/her iAP configuration information to indicate that this was iPurchased. The only users left out would be buyers who NEVER started the app.
Not fool proof, but better than none. Ugly state to manage, nasty testing for this. And of course, this is a variable geometry solution : if I did not have reliable persisted state in the current version, i would not know where to start.
This is a problem that every developer will face when building their apps: how to contact the reviewer of your app to notify them of an update, new release, help topics, etc?
Some things I am thinking:
Include an RSS feed in your app which you can update to notify the users of the app.
Include a twitter feed regarding your app. How to go about this?
Include a way for the users to subscribe to a mailing list. This way, I can send a mass-email to the users who opted-in? Any suggestions here?
Any other ways that you think this can/should be done? Any existing solutions you can point me to will be great. Thanks in advance.
One way, for contacting a specific user who created a review of an application is to go to Zune Social (at http://social.zune.net/home) and create a new message. You can then enter the Zune Tag of the user who created a review.
Personally, I'd try to do all three - have a web page/site, with an RSS feed, and a subscription link (so they can subscribe to the RSS feed via email) and then post any updates to your twitter account as well.
You can't really force a user to do any of these, but having the options available, and linked from inside your app on the about page is probably good practise.
You could also include some kind of "Update Available" feature inside the application. Try to make this as unobtrusive as possible obviously. Obviously if they've still got the app installed they'll get an update notification from the marketplace anyway.

Besides the suggestions made by samjudson, I'll also recommend having a support-page with a direct option to send a email to you. Here's a example of a support-page from one of my applications. I've received lot of emails with suggestions for improvements, or complains about bugs. And since it's by email, it gives you the option to respond directly to people.
Another thing about reviews. Don't take them to serious. Most people only rate negatively (since humans like to complain), and by such a lot of reviews are often misinformed, outdated, or the users just been plain ignorant.
