About Square Appointments
Square Appointments is an online appointment scheduling software through which clients can book, reschedule and cancel appointments. The appointment calendar is quite interactive and displays the available times clearly in button form beneath it. The administrative portal shows clear directions to set up various appointment types along with vacant time slots.
The software allows clients to set their own appointments, but staff can also access it from within the office to schedule meetings. It can work with multiple users and a group calendar so that every user can see everyone's schedule. Though the scheduler itself cannot be embedded into the user website, users can still generate a booking button that can be used to redirect clients to the user’s online booking website.

Favorite booking app

Overall it’s my favorite booking app. It has everything in one without a monthly charge.
Pros
This is my favorite booking app. It has everything in one. Clients can book appointments and pay for service.
Cons
The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can add photos to appointments for category purposes. But clients can’t see the photos when booking. It would be nice to be able to put a photo next to the service on booking page

Easy All-In-One System

I would highly recommend Square Appointments for a simple system that is elegant and user-friendly.
I would highly recommend Square Appointments for a simple system that is elegant and user-friendly.
Pros
Square Appointments is great because it alleviates one less account you need. It handles merchant processing, product inventory, client records, appointment deposits and more.
Cons
I don't like the look/functionality of the embedded scheduling widget. It doesn't blend well with most websites and is very noticeably a square application. (Which I suppose is great/strong branding on their part)

Great Product
Reviewed on 2021/02/01
Pros
When I opened my practice I needed an appointment system that also worked with my merchant services. Square appointments was so easy to install and navigate. It also works great with google calendar which is a major plus for me. We have an online booking link where we were able to use Zapier as well to connect directly to square appointments with the help of google calendar. Truly fantastic!
Cons
Wish there were more customized features to the appointments app but I am sure in time that will happen too.

Limited feature set for the price compared to cheaper more feature-rich alternatives available on the market. It's year 2016, and makers of this software still haven't implemented a simple feature like service name showing in the booked time slot when staff view the calendar. Unless you're using their iPad app their web calendar interface is horrible. Worst of all, this system is so primitive that it forces customers to enter full name, phone, and email address EVERY SINGLE TIME to book an appointment. The only reason we switched to Square Appointments in the first place was to prevent no-shows by activating "Hold Card for No-Show Protection". This feature is half-baked because there's no way to save card info for future bookings. As of November 2016 no improvements have been made to mitigate that despite their tech staff promising to fix it when we first signed up with them in May 2016. I have sent them tons of usability improving ideas but only a few were addressed. We're on the verge of canceling our account with them because our clients constantly complain about what I described above, but worst of all we've noticed major decline in booking conversions from even our current clients, let alone newcomers. It holds promise, it is just not ready for prime time.
Pros
It has a dedicated iPad app.
Cons
Customer has to fill out his name, email, phone and credit card every single time appointment is booked. That's annoying and enough to steer even the most loyal customers away.

Square Appointments has been fantastic for driving business to my private practice, as many people do not want to make a call or send an email to get started in therapy, but would prefer to just book an appointment. Also, it saves me time and energy with scheduling clients because we do not have to go back and forth discussing availability - they can just look at the calendar through the booking widget and book their own appointment.
Pros
I love that it enables my clients to easily make appointments online and sends them automated reminders, that I don't have to be involved in sending.
Cons
If you encounter a problem it can be very difficult to find the contact number for customer service through the square site.
