Liquor Stores, answered.
Can I sell singles and cases of the same product?
Yes — set the product up with variations so each unit of sale has its own price, barcode, and stock count.
Does Square support age verification?
Items can prompt staff to check ID at checkout. Your state and local rules govern the specifics, and alcohol sales are subject to Square’s acceptable-use terms — we confirm this for your situation before you commit.
