Hello!
I have a coffee shop and use Square as the POS.
I am able to access my transactions via the API but I want to also retrieve the Customer Name for each transaction. I have figured out that if a customer profile is selected during the transaction, then it will attribute their Custome ID to that transaction. However, even though a transaction might automatically get attributed to an existing customer due to their card number, it will not attribute their Customer ID to the transaction since their profile wasn’t specifically selected during the sale.
Is there a way to automatically have the Customer ID attributed to the transaction whenever the customer is identified? It seems odd to me that the transaction will automatically list Bob Smith as the customer but it can’t also assign the Customer ID for Bob Smith to the transaction.
If this is not possible, is there any other way that I can access the customer name with each transaction? Maybe a more manual method of scraping the Customer Name from the transaction details?
Curious if others have found a workaround for this. Since I am able to view transactions via the API, I feel like it should be simple to also view the Name on that transaction.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
