How to lookup customer order history with your AI

Connect Square to your AI client once. From then on, you can pull up any customer's purchase history just by asking.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see what a customer bought?

Tell your AI the customer's name or email to pull their profile and a list of their previous orders. You'll get specific details on items purchased and transaction history. Here is the breakdown of how it works.

The outcomes

What you get from your AI

Your agent handles the heavy lifting of searching through Square data.

PROFILE

Customer details

The AI finds the right person in your Square database. You get their contact info and profile details immediately.

HISTORY

Purchase lists

Your agent scans through previous transactions. You get a clear list of what that customer bought over time.

DETAILS

Order specifics

The AI pulls full line-item breakdowns for specific transactions. You'll see exactly what was in a single order.

HUMAN

Manual updates

The AI only reads data. You still need to log into Square to change an order or issue a refund.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent turns your questions into specific data requests.

  1. Find the customer
