Howdy folks, I’m new to square online and i really like all of the features it provides out of the box, but i was also hoping to build some custom functionality (for example a report aggregating items counts among pending orders) using the square api in a bespoke companion app operating on the same data as the square online store. We also have a square PoS (Stand) selling the same inventory as square online. Is this a well-supported use case?
Yes, absolutely! You can definitely use our APIs to pull in information to run reports across items, orders, inventory, payments and more. 
wonderful, thanks Bryan!
