How to add a new product in Square and assign it to a category in Per Diem

When you add a new item in Square, it won’t automatically show up in your app or be assigned to a category in Per Diem. That’s because we only sync your Square items and categories during the initial setup—and we let you fully customize your categories in Per Diem.

Instructions

Create your new item in Square like you normally would—name, price, description, photo, etc.
Log into your Per Diem dashboard and navigate to the Items page.
Find Your New Item. You can either:
- Use the search bar to look up the item by name (e.g. “Matcha Latte”), or
- Use the filter to show only Hidden Items.
Click into the item and mark it as Visible so it shows up in your app.
While you’re still on the item page, assign the product to the correct Category in Per Diem (e.g. “Drinks” or “Hot Beverages”).
