Migrate from Square for Retail
Move from Square for Retail to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off Square for Retail should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your retail POS data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while Square for Retail keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
The safe way to leave Square for Retail
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of Square for Retail that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull products, stock, customers and sales history out of Square for Retail in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your retail POS data lands before you move the rest.

See what maps to what
We line Square for Retail up against PeakSpitz: products, stock, customers and sales history become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside Square for Retail is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what Square for Retail shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep Square for Retail live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your Square for Retail export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.
As much help as you want
Do it yourself, or have us map your fields, run the import and reconcile the result with you. Support is a ladder — you start where you are comfortable and step up only where an area needs it.
