About Acuity Scheduling

Join the thousands of businesses who have booked millions of appointments already through Squarespace Scheduling! Easily offer appointment booking directly through your website with Squarespace online appointment scheduling software. Clients worldwide or local can schedule their appointments online, complete custom forms, and pay with a credit card, online 24/7. Whether your schedule is regular or irregular, you can manage any availability easily.

Squarespace acts like a superhero for your schedule (with way better taste in capes). Squarespace saves the day for business owners, freelancers, consultants, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs, so they can get back in control of their businesses, their time, and their calendars—without breaking a sweat.

With automated appointment scheduling, Squarespace's superpowers relieve you of the back-and-forth email grunt-work, and lets your clients see your real-time availability, pick the date and time that works best for them, pay in advance (in-full, via deposit, or not until time of service), and book themselves.

A responsive scheduling page means that clients can book appointments from their desktop, tablet, or phone. You can also manage appointments directly from your own desktop, tablet, or phone.

With customizeable everything, Squarespace makes sure it’s not just another tool you have to deal with, manage, or remember to use. Squarespace works seamlessly in the background of your business, helping you look professional and get results. You can be as picky or nonchalant as you want with the level of flexibility your business needs. Have different offices that operate on different schedules? Got you covered. Want different staff members to have different calendars? No problem. Need everything to match, almost as if you built the software yourself? You got it! (After all, everyone knows that a true superhero doesn’t take the credit.)

Whether you’re booking hourly appointments, doing phone consultations, selling classes that students need to sign up for, or anything else that involves you selling your time, don’t put yourself at the mercy of hundreds of clients constantly badgering your inbox or your telephone.

Squarespace even helps you eliminate no-show appointments with automatic text message and e-mail reminders to clients.

Let Squarespace handle the busywork for you — so you can focus on your business.

    Overall, I love Acuity Scheduling, it's my right hand in this business I'm running by myself. It takes a huge load off of my plate.

    Once things are set up - which can be as easy or a grueling as you want to make it - it's just a seamless part of my life and business.

    Pros

    I love the customizability of the software, I can integrate it with many programs, and I can make things super simple for my clients.

    Cons

    I've had several times where I've had to go delete a whole series of appointments and there's no easy option to delete an entire section of appointments.
    For instance I had a series of webinars that were Group Appointments with several dates each. I decided to discontinue that program in lieu of a new direction and initiative for the company. I had to manually delete each one, typing DELETE each time. If I could delete an entire "category" of appointments, this would be much better.

    Calendly

    Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

    Acuity Scheduling was already available and easily integrated into my Squarespace website. This was good because I decided that I didn't want to create a website from scratch, rather I would use a "drag and drop" system with some customizability. It just so happened that Squarespace met my needs there, AND as a vital part of their services, they already had a scheduling application that I would receive a DISCOUNT on if I bought into their services. Squarespace, and of course Acuity Scheduling, were a "no-brainer" decision for me and my solo consulting business.

    I am not in love of this app but it definitely worth trying as it has features that will help for scheduling and get reminders of payments at low price but not lowest.

    Pros

    I loved the ease of use and integration with goigle calender that helps me sync my Google appointments with Acuity scheduling app.

    Secondly, I can book and send branded reminders to my co workers and clients.

    Lastly, its most useful feature that I use specially for clients who forget to pay on time. Its payment acceptance feature that enable me to accept payment from stripe and paypal.

    Cons

    Need to learn css to customize the branding for appointments

    Searching for previous appointments is cumbersome and exhaust lots of time to figuring out.

    Reasons for Choosing Acuity Scheduling

    Calendly made me switch as it not much organised in terms of multiple appointments scheduled between a small time intervals. Even I couldn't add my vranding to appointment mails in calendly.

    Although acuity has some issues, the dollar value provided for the software is unmatched

    Pros

    Acuity helps me in keeping track of my ever growing list of clients, and allows me to better store and search information on said clients

    Cons

    While acuity is useful as a POS tool, it doesnt seem to have information streamlined as some of the other POS software ive used in the past

    Loved it, but Acuity is not with the times and the technology wasn't modern enough to continue to trust it and use it for our business.

    Pros

    I like how the admin has great control over the backend and has full use and capability. I also like the ability to brand everything.

    Cons

    It doesn't natively integrate with third-party calendars. We had to switch to Calendly solely because of this reason.

    Alternatives Considered

    Calendly

    Reasons for Choosing Acuity Scheduling

    At the time, I wasn't in charge of the switch from Calendly so I'm unsure. I just know that at that time Acuity fit our company better than Calendly, but now we've switched back to Calendly.

    Switched From

    Calendly

    Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

    Unsure because I wasn't a decision-maker at the time. I believe it was because the admin features on the backend were far more developed than Calendly and admins had the complete control necessary.

    Perfect Scheduling for Small Businesses.

    Reviewed on 2022/12/03

    Pros

    It integrates well with Google Calendars, which my business relies on to manage our time and get efficiency higher. The easy scheduling is perfect for my small business.

    Cons

    I do wish that it could work with more website solutions, like if I would like to use my own website to host, not a Squarespace website.

    Alternatives Considered

    WordPress

    Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

    Acuity Scheduling works better with my existing website, so I chose it instead of WordPress.
