    SOS. With my business I go to certain locations on certain days (i.e. I go to building A and C on Mondays and Tuesdays and building B and D on Wednesdays and Thursdays) so I need a schedule software that only allows clients to schedule appointments for the day that I'm at their building. Is there a software that gives clients the ability to pick their building location and then from their pick an appointment out of the available days?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  3 года назад

      Not sure if Square does different locations. Check out my video on 10to8. That is one platform that can do different locations. ruclips.net/video/mbGetXNcVNI/видео.html

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  2 года назад

      There must be another setting that is limiting the schedule. It could be settings for specific services, availability in a linked calendar, or something else.

    Thanks for demonstrating, short and sweet, I enjoy that. You said they charge $30 a month, however, do they charge their traditional percentage fee, per transaction?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      Yes, you will pay for credit card processing as well as the monthly fee.

  • @htown2d3

    I have been searching for someone to explain if you are able to check a client out using square appointments. Or do I have to go to my register and create te transaction?
    I'm wondering if it will link my clients from appointment with square to my transactions on square register?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  8 лет назад

      +Sindii Yadira I think the video shows pretty clearly that clients can pay within the Square Appointments interface. I'm not sure how this would integrate with your Square Register POS. You'd have to ask Square that question.

  • @karihankins2506
    @karihankins2506 9 лет назад

    Ryan - this was very helpful ! One question I have if you can answer that would be great. The option at the end about adding other staff members.
    We have two coaches and I am wondering if it would be able to: Let the client click on the appointment link or drop in. Then be given the choice of which coach they work with and then the appointment types. We want them to be able to pick who they work with. I hope that makes sense.

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  9 лет назад

      Kari Hankins Good question. I was playing around with a 1 staff account in the review, but I believe if you have 2 staff active, the booking widget would have to give the option of selecting staff at some point before choosing the date and time.
      Also, the advanced widgets I mentioned would allow you to manually do this. You could have a page on your site for each coach and then put an advanced widget dedicated to that coach on their specific page. Then on your appointments page, visitors would first click a link you create to take them to the appropriate page for Coach 1, Coach 2, etc.

      Hi Ryan when you have staff on the online booking and some one books with them will the money go in there account or the busniss because we are all indepented contractors? and one more question is it easy for clients to cancel and reschedule or just move there appt. hour up or down, website i use now you can't and my clients are little frustrated by that. Thanks

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  8 лет назад

      +Theresa Anderson I believe $$ all goes in one Square account even if you have multiple staff. I think you can cancel and move appointments pretty easily. Although it may be an admin that needs to do it and not the customer. I didn't try that when I was demoing the software. Sorry.

    Thank you for this informative video. I actually use Booker for my scheduling at my studio, but Square as my processing. I do have Gift Cards, managed through Square, that I need to keep track of. What I definitely need to keep track of are my Gift Certificates. Does this software also have "online" gift certificates"? I have the "old school" gift certificates printed and sold on my site through a button configuration and processed through Square. But having a customer able to order a gift certificates online and sending via email to a friend is really perfect. Thanks! Anna M. TEMPLEWORK LA

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      This video is about Square Appointments specifically. You said you already have gift cards through Square. I would imagine they do electronic gift certificates as well using codes but I have not used them or seen them myself. You should contact Square about this.

      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      You can definitely customize the time. If you want a different price, it may need to be a different service for each stylist. Not sure if you can set prices by stylist for the same service but I think not.

Will that show? Is there an option to hide or block out time with name hidden and i will be able to see all on my backend and synced calendar right?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      Yes, the names of customers will not show on the public calendar. I believe that's shown in my video.

  • @missyl313
    @missyl313 7 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the video. I saw you covered how to invite clients, but is there a way to import a client list? I've used an online scheduling system for years and have over 1200 clients in my directory. The system I'm currently using has really gone downhill and I'm looking to change .. but I really don't want to move all of that client info over manually. I know I can download/export info from the one I'm using now.
    Also, does the $30 per month for one person subscription include email marketing? I like to send out emails once in a while to fill last minute spots or let clients know when I'll be out of town. (I apologize if you covered either of these and I somehow missed it.)

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      Hi Missy,
      I don't think I covered these these on the video. And I don't remember seeing an import option in Square Appointments. You may need to ask their sales team about that. I also don't think they have a built in email marketing platform except for basic notifications about appointments. My video is a bit dated so there may be some newer features that have been added since I looked at it.

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      Yes, I believe you can use the appointment calendar and not charge anything. You can then take payment later with the square app or some other way. There may be a way to authorize a card and then charge it later or take a down payment as deposit and then charge the balance later.

  • @kellystrong9213
    @kellystrong9213 8 лет назад

    Thanks for the informative video... I use Vagaro as a booking website, but like Square for my cc transactions. Do you know if regarding the online booking function; are they charged the full amount up front, or can you dictate the portion of deposit according to the service provided? For instance: I charge $200 for a full set of eye lash extensions, but only need $50 deposit to hold the appointment. Would Square want to charge the full $200 at the time of booking? Thanks again for the help!!

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  8 лет назад

      +Kelly Strong I don't think they offer partial payments. I believe it will only charge the full amount at time of booking. I'd consider just taking the full payment up front. Or you can list the deposit as the price and then swipe a credit card with Square to take the remaining balance at the time of the service.

  • @cassiejones9004
    @cassiejones9004 7 лет назад

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  9 лет назад

      No Sweat The payment method is pretty seamless, but I'm not sure this would work well for bus tours or airport transfers. It's a continuous schedule and 1 per slot as far as I can tell. If I was taking payments for bus tickets, I'd probably just list the times and have a payment button.

    @swimgirl1977 8 лет назад

    Thank you. This is very informative. I do have a question for you. I'm looking to schedule appointments and classes. Right now, I use Schedulicity but I wanted to combine my POS and scheduling service. I saw that Square has appointment services for the fitness industry so I would assume that they must be able to have clients book classes with multiple openings. Would you know?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  8 лет назад

      That's a good question. I believe Square Appointments cannot do classes. it's only for 1 person per timeslot. there are other options like MindBody Online or Bookeo. Both of them can handle classes.

    • @Webeminence

    With this appointment calendar can you schedule multiple services during the same checkout? Like a massage and facial? or would you have to checkout multiple times?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  8 лет назад

      +Elizabeth Bryan (HouseOfMassageGreenDaySpa) Good question. If you look at my video at the 5:26 mark, you see it says "Select One or More Services". So it looks like it is possible even though I never tried it. I'm not sure how it would handle multiple services. You would probably need to select more than one time slot to schedule the appointment or maybe the system will automatically create a longer block of time to cover all services. Then you can purchase them all in one checkout.

  • @dianediane6421
    @dianediane6421 5 лет назад

    I have a question. I hope someone can help me out. Can client book two or three services at the same time? I test book myself and I can only book one service at the time. There’s no option to add service. Can anyone help me out? Thank u!

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  5 лет назад

      Good question. I believe it does have to be one at a time. It's tricky with time slots because if they book 2 or 3 services, I'm not sure how the system would handle the additional time in the calendar. One idea is to do separate services that are packages of popular services that people often combine. You may have to check with Square on this.

    • @dianediane6421
      @dianediane6421 5 лет назад

      Ryan @ Web Eminence thanks for replying so fast! ;) yes, I’m thinking of combining package services as two together. Do you know a contact number to square? I don’t seem to find it anywhere online. Thank u!

    • @Webeminence

    I'm trying to use this feature to schedule birthday party rooms in my business. I would think to set up each room as an 'employee' with the rental fees and catering as 'services' but not sure it would work best that way. Anyone have any suggestions or used Square appointments in this way? Thanks!

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      Yes, I do think it may work to setup the rooms as different staff. Not sure if you can get everything to display the way you want though. Maybe someone else can comment, although it's probably people deciding whether they should use Square Appointments who are watching this video. There may be a forum or support area for Square users.

    • @Webeminence

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      That sounds pretty complex. Unfortunately, I don't think either of those is possible with Square appointments. I think all the revenue goes into one Square account. You may want to contact Square with these questions though.

Do you know if there is a way to schedule multiple clients for the same hour? 2. I sell packages of lessons. Do you know if this software tracks those accounts? Thanks!

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      Hi Sophia,
      I don't believe Square has the ability to do classes with a capacity greater than 1 person. You may want to look at a different option. I will be posting a review of 10to8.com, another booking platform that offers group booking and 1to1 bookings. I don't believe I've seen any system that allows you to sell packages of lessons. This could probably be done with a credit system or gift certificate system. I believe Bookeo has a gift certificate system that might work for this.

      Hi Diane, You would want to use the booking website that Square provides. It's explained on my video and you can find the URL in your account. You would send people to that URL to make a booking. For example. copy the URL in and email.

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  5 лет назад

      That's a good question but I don't believe they have categories to organize the services. If they do, there would just be a category selection when you create or edit a service. I don't recall seeing this but I believe you can reorder them so they are in a logical order.

  • @rachaelwilder1625
    @rachaelwilder1625 6 лет назад

    Thank you for making this! I have two questions:
    -Does square keep peoples' info/card info on file so they don't have to enter it in every time?
    -Right now I use square for in person card swipes, but my online scheduler is Full Slate and cc processor is Stripe. Stripe doesn't allow customers to go in and change their card info, so whenever that needs to happen, I have to log in in person and it's super clunky. Evidently, there is a way to embed something on my website for that, but you need to be a programmer to do it. So...are customers creating an account that they can log into and edit?
    Thanks again!
    Rachael

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      Hi Racheal, That's a good question. I don't know the answer but I'm planning on doing a follow-up video soon since I've received many questions on Square Appointments since doing this video. I'm gonna compile all the questions and answers into one follow-up video. I'll consider including your question on there. Having said that, I did some quick research on their sales page and found the following...
      Store and charge credit cards on fileSquare can securely store payment details for your customers. Charge them with a tap of a button and save time at checkout.
      So it appears it does do what you're asking.

    Is this a good solution for booking rooms in time increments - like a tanning salon, or would you suggest Mind Body/Booker?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  5 лет назад

      Square Appointments works with staff members. So people would be booking a staff member for a specific time slot. You could call the different Staff members Room #1, Room #2, etc.

      Hi - yes it will. The Square Appointments page says "You can adjust schedules, give employees different levels of access, and manage every location from one account." You'd like need a paid account and not a free account to do this since I believe this is considered "Staff Management" and you only get 1 staff member in a free account.

    Ryan I have a massage therapy business and I want to list my services. I do the same type of massage but for different increments of time, i.e. Deep Tissue Massage and I do it for 60 mins, 75 mins and 90 mins. Instead of having to list each massage and it's time in the title like Deep Tissue Massage - 60 or Deep Tissue Massage -75, etc. is there a way to have one selection, say Deep Tissue Massage and when you click it, it gives you the option to select the duration?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      As you see in my video, the services each have a set duration and price, so I think you'd need a different service for each time increment of a service. That is - unless they added this in a newer version of their software. You can do a free trial to try it out.

    I am concerned about overbooking. I have some staff that can only take one appointment at a time (massage therapists) where as other staff can take multiple appointments at a time. Also can I put a cap on the number of clients a staff member can see in a day?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  5 лет назад +1

      Square is designed for one appointment at a time. I don't believe it can handle multiple appointments in a time slot. That's considered a "class" on many booking platforms. I supposed you could have 2 staff calenders (Sally 1, Sally 2) for each slot that is available. I'm not aware of a cap per day but this would be accomplished by the number of time slots in a day based on your settings.

    Hey thanks for the video. Is there a way to incorporate user registration required in order to book appointments with this which you can then push register user info into mailchimp, use for follow up emails, etc. I’ve been looking into Zapier as well.

    • @bradfranklin-j66co
      @bradfranklin-j66co 7 лет назад

      i guess you could hide the “book appointment page” unless they are logged in or a redirect to register. Issue then though is you don’t want the user to have to retype all their info into square book appointment section. Maybe there’s a way to connect woocommerce, pull saved user data that links wp registration/woocommerce - into - square appointments??

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад

      Hey - I don't know of any way to incorporate registration into Square Appointments. It probably would need to be a separate process. They may allow people to save info for future registrations and they may incorporate the ability to email all users. I haven't looked at it in a while. Your idea of hiding the registration except to logged in users on your site is an idea to force people to register first. But you're right that people will probably need to enter their info again unless you custom-code something.

    Hi Ryan,
    I have a question. Can you take deposits with the Square Appointments system? For instance, in my business I would need a $100 deposit in order for appointment to be booked, is that possible with the Square Appointments?
    Please let me know! Thank you!

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  7 лет назад +1

      Good question. I don't remember seeing that option. However, you could set the price at $100 for a service but make sure to state that this is just a deposit and then take the balance payment manually at the time of service. It would be a nice option if they had a deposit then an automatic payment of balance at the time of booking.

    @tradefastllc2027 6 лет назад

    I am trying to utilize square appointments into my website. My question is, if you use square appointments do clients have to prepay to set an appoint/enter their credit card information? Is there a way that they don't have to, and after the service is completed they can pay via cash or whatever? I value the scheduling system, but I don't want to require prepayment or card information just to set an appointment. Is this possible?
    My second question is if you have multiple locations, can you see different calendar layouts for a given location? Or can they be color coded to distinguish different sites for appointments?

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      Those are good questions. I do believe you can let people book without paying ahead of time. Payments is one of the things Square Appointments does nicely so you may want to look at other options if you don't need payments. But I do believe it can do it without payments.
      Square Appointments allows for different staff members but I don't believe it handles locations. You might be able to use the "staff" functionality for distinguishing between locations. I do believe there is color-coding. To see how it works and IF it will work for you, you might want to do the free trial. That's the best way to see if it will work. I'm reviewing another booking option called 10to8 soon that I believe does everything you need very nicely.

    • @tradefastllc2027
      @tradefastllc2027 6 лет назад

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  6 лет назад

      Great - thanks for the update. I think the Locations feature was added since I did my review. I imagine the color coding (if they have it) would be in the settings for each staff member or the calendar. It's possible they don't offer it.

    • @Webeminence
      @Webeminence  8 лет назад

      +Danny Blanco I don't think Square is what you need in this case. You need some kind of user account where they purchase sessions. The only way I could see it working is if you sold the sessions somewhere else and Square allowed a coupon code to take 100% off the price. Then you could give someone 10 coupons when they buy 10 sessions. I've not seen any other services that do this for you. Have you checked out MindBody? They might have something like this.
