• Loyalty API:

  • As of July 15, 2021, the country in which the seller’s Square account is activated determines whether Square uses pretax or post-tax purchase amounts to calculate accrued points. This change supports consumption tax models, such as value-added tax (VAT). Previously, point accrual was based on pretax purchase amounts only. This change does not affect the existing point balance of loyalty accounts. For more information, see Availability of Square Loyalty.
