screen caps of step-by-step ordering instructions: When the checkout screen pops up you will see the option to enter a coupon code or a gift card. Enter the 16 numbers on your gift card (NO PIN). Select APPLY. You can only use one gift card per order. After you select APPLY, the total of your order will be in the blue 'PLACE ORDER' button. Select the blue button and watch for it to turn grey.

If you don't get a confirmation email, or the blue button does not turn grey, your order has not gone through. We do all we can to support you through technical issues but we can't fix them in the moment. We have to get support for Square and that takes time. If you've followed all of the above steps correctly and your order doesn't go through, try to delete the cookies in your browser and start your order over again.

This error has nothing to do with us and is an ongoing square issue that they are working on. Unfortunately, this is the only solution we have available to us at this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we learn along with you.
