Half broken feed

The feed from Square continues to export the fees and bank transfers to Xero, but stopped exporting the daily invoices. Very frustrating experience.

Does Not Transfer Taxes appropriately from daily sales

The new method of transferring the taxes collected from square, makes the sales tax reporting in Xero unusable. When I spoke with Xero, they claimed that they switched to third party provider (Amaka) that could offer better service, and that I would need to speak to them. When I asked Amaka (Square) They said that they made accounts for each tax rate, but that the sales will no longer have the sales tax rate applied to the invoice making the reporting in Xero non-functional.
