About customizing receipts

You can customize your receipts to better represent your business to your customers. Descriptive receipts help customers recognize purchases and prevent disputed payments. On your receipts, you can customize: 

  • Logo

  • Brand color (brand color only shows on digital receipts and invoices)

  • Item information (item information only shows on digital receipts and invoices)

  • Business location

  • Contact information

  • Return policy

  • Custom text such as announcements or special promotions

Example receipt for customization

Before you begin

You can customize the appearance of your customer-facing receipts from your Square Dashboard.

Your logo and color will be reflected across Square, including on your receipts, invoices, loyalty campaigns, appointment flows, kiosks and anywhere else your customers interact with Square. For your logo, follow these guidelines:

  • Your logo should be at least 200 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

  • For a full logo, the image should be at least 1,280 px and 648 px to view in high resolution.

  • For a small logo, the image should be 400 px and 400 px.

  • For a printed logo, the image should be at least 400 px and 200 px.

  • For the Square Register Customer display, the recommended image size is 2560 px and 1600 px.

  • All logos and images must be a .jpg or .png file.

Maps of business location do not show on receipts with manually-entered payments. If you have four or more locations on your Square account, you will need to update each location receipt individually. Learn how to create and manage multiple locations.
