Wow you helped saved my a**! The Square doesn't have the "Deposit $" feature yet & after chatting with 2 of their reps. last night that were clueless about this, your instructions were awesome & especially about this work-around!"

Thanks so much!! & thank you Jesus as I prayed for the Lord to help me get this figured out & used you as a blessing to me & our business! pride-heart-rainbow-philly :) Unlike your preference though; I wanted the extra deposit to be very visible & noticeable as it's added onto the full price of the rentals.
I have been searching for this for the last 3 months not even sqaure explained the full process when I called. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. I subscribed immediately
LADY LADY LADY-------YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I've been trying to do this for the freaking longest!!!!!! You literally made homework for me to do, changing all my services. But, it's needed. Awesome tutorial.
You’re literally a lifesaver! Omg! Wow! Thank you soooo much! I too just switched from Acuity to Square for the same reasons as you stated it just makes sense & to me square is a lot more user friendly & easier to navigate than Acuity. Thank you again so much! The exact answer to my only issue with this system, accepting deposits!😩🙏🏾🙌🏾♥️
I wish I could hug you through this phone screen. You just helped me solve my BIGGGGGEST business issue since converting to my square site. Whew. God was good when he sent you ❤
Omg, thank you so much. I have been spending hours trying to figure all this stuff out. I probably never would have figured all that out. Thank you!!!!!! Probably will be watching this several times. lol
That was AMAZING! Thank you so very much. You answered all my questions and then some and straight to the point. I really appreciate your time and putting this video out there.
Thanks for this video helped me so much don’t ever delete it pls! Your voice is easy to follow. Can you make more square tips and tutorials, I have it but I still can’t figure it out 😶🥰🤍
OMG! You're a life saver! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ♥ I just came here to figure out how to set up deposits & I ended up learning how to actually set up my site the way I want it to look.
i was so happy to find this so clear... but they updated their site and now it allows for full payment only sadly and were it says price describtion for you it now pricing describtion so now it not quite the same but i will see if it still works.. thanks for this video !
@@pisceantouch How do I charge them the remainder? Sorry and Thank you! Such a novice at this. smh I looked in a previous comment that you connect it with your terminal? Do you manually type in an amount or how does that work? I've never done that before.
Square appointments connects with my square stand and terminal so i charge the remainder balance on there. You can do it as a custom amount or however you want it.
OMG girl this was so helpful!! I had my services listed individually with a prepay option. I had to re-ring them up when it was time to check out. This saves me so much time and confusion.
Thank you for this helpful video! I hope square implements a deposit feature in the future, but this is a great method to use until then. Thanks again!
Absolutely amazing this helped me a lot thank you for this video. I have one more issue im trying to also figure and its how you get your categories to drop down on your website. When i go on my square appointments it shows my different categories but when i go to my website my services are all together as one and its a very long list to scroll through. Thank you in advance
Are you able to do a video on the check box where they have to agree on your cancellation policy and like your terms and conditions? I’m having trouble adding that I’ve looked in the community search internet and no luck. The exact way you have it set up is perfect that they must check the box to agree before continuing to pay deposit and book. Thank you 😊
Hello fellow Natalia, i swore that i was the only black woman with that name until this video lol. Great video with valid information and great detail it really helped me setup my new site! God Bless :)
Hey beautiful! Mine spelled with a y Natalya. There is another one of us in Texas also. A lady yelled “Hey Natalya!” as she walked up to me just to be disappointed and apologized because she thought she knew me, she said I looked like a friend of hers. I said “but my name IS Natalya lol” it was so weird.
Your video was so helpful, the only issue that I’m having is when booking multiple services it’s charging a deposit for each service instead of just a flat rate
This was so helpful! Thank you so much for posting this video. I am working on transitioning from Acuity to Square for the same reason. Thank you again. 💜
This is so amazing! You are the best ! Been looking for how to add deposit payment to my square and your video showed it all . Thanks so much . Keep it up !
Thank you SO much! This is super helpful!! You have a calm teaching voice too ☺️ You mentioned if we want to know about anything else so you can make more videos to ask in the comments … I noticed you have a “squeeze in/stay late” fee? How do you enforce that? Or word it? Do you say “It’s this much more if I stay late? “ I feel I am always staying late for clients but never charge more even though I’ve always thought they should pay more if they don’t prebook!? And the late arrival fee? I’ve never heard of this and have a hard time cause I often run late so I feel silly charging a late fee. How long do you give them before they are charged?
Aww thank you 😊 So I now call it an after hours fee. For anything before or after my set schedule. I don’t do squeeze ins anymore but i will send a notification to my clients through my app for any appointment cancellations that need to be filled in. That’s the only time I don’t charge an extra fee.
Since the prices are now different to reflect the deposit, how do you charge the actual price when it comes to checking the customer out? Do you have separate services with the remaining balances to use during checkout? Thanks for the informative video. It was super helpful
@@ashleyhaith6890 Yes i use my square reader to take the remaining balance at the time of service but I’ve switched to acuity because that got old fast.
Hi! Thank you for this video. It was VERY helpful and I was able to set up my website with a deposit. But how do we check out clients with the remaining balance? It now only shows the deposit so I'm having to manually enter transactions into my Square app, but I would like to check out in the appointments app to make it easier.
This was the MOST helpful and BEST video I came across after researching for weeks! I tried to look through comments to see if anybody asked but I'm not sure if anybody did, since I couldn't find it. So, I followed the same exact steps as you! Although, I do not have the option when my clients book for them to authorize to store the card on file. Neither is their card saved. So whenever I have last-minute cancellations, for example, I can't charge their card because it isn't saved. But they do put their card on file for the deposits! How do I have the clients save their card on file in case I need to charge the remaining balance?
I collect the remaining payment using my square terminal after services are rendered. Here is an updated video. ruclips.net/video/jf5Ni6muIY0/видео.html
@@LWrightProductionsLLC i had it as a service on my square reader since it connects to square appointments but I also just create custom amounts on square at checkout
This was a very helpful video. I wish there were more videos like this because I am currently having trouble displaying my availability on my square website so clients can book. 😩😩😩
this video was the most helpful I've seen thus far!!! thanks so much for the easy to follow step by step, I'm an independent nail tech struggling on how to get my site set up. question is there anyway to set up square so that it only shows certain times I have available for booking? I have a set routine such as 10am, 2pm & 6pm and I can't figure out how to make my booking availability like so? pleaseeeee respond :(
Hey beauty! Yes I know how but its a bit of a process 😂 1. Go to update your Business hours so that you open at 10am. That means that's the 1st appt your clients see. Press Save. 2. Go click Appointments > Calendar > Small Clock on the right 3. Update your Availability there and press Save 4. Then click Appointments > Services > Select your service 5. Set the duration (length) of service and BLOCK EXTRA TIME so this way the next opening is 2pm🥰 WHEW! had to learn on my own. Hope this helps 🎉
Hello there! Thank you for your video! How did you get to add the CC on file notice agreement and your policy agreement at check out at the same time? For me it only allows me to add one item only
hey love i love this process but when the clients are in person and the service is done what is your check out process with out your prices charging them deposit prices at check out when you click on the service
@@Baby203Phat i use the square terminal and they can swipe their card or they pay cash and I document it to my square. However you’d like to take the final payment. I’ll do a video on it.
@@pisceantouch please. Like for an example if my service is $90 I require a $30 deposit and they will owe $60. But When you try to cash them out you can see no option to charge the difference and it also don’t allow you to add anything for you to charge.
I have a question after we add the deposits. When for example I want to check out a client for a full set it only pulls up the deposit amount not the full price, am I missing something? This video was also very helpful on setting up my deposits :)
@@romiesbeautyplace1203 I am still having trouble trying to figure this part out- all my services look as if I am charging way less since its only showing the deposit amounts
@@julia9506 so now mine shows the full amount when they wanna book but makes them pay just my $$20 deposit. So when they come in I just checkout and charge whatever the balance is. I’m done playing around with it. I can’t seem to figure out how to fix it
Amazing video so easy to follow. I have an issue with the square appointments app. I have figured out the online part and all working perfectly however when trying to book a client in manually myself on the square appointments app, the total price it is showing under the service is the deposit amount that Iv set for online payment and there’s no option to charge them the remaining amount when I check them out at their appointment. Some of my clients book multiple appointments in one go so I override the need for them to pay the deposits as that adds up if booking several in one go. Could anyone help?
You can make the deposit for appointment add ons cheap. Like maybe $1. If they are usually scheduled with a primary service. For example a lash fill can have a deposit amount of $25 and a lash bath can be a $1 deposit. Then you will have to take the remaining payment at the time of service. I use the square stand. It connects to square appointments. Some may use zelle or take cash only. But you can’t charge the remainder through square appointments.
@@pisceantouch Thankyou for replying sorry I don’t think Iv explained myself very well! So I have got the deposit function working perfectly for bookings done online it’s when i want to book a client in myself. The amount showing when booking a client in is the deposit amount not the full treatment amount. I’m assuming because my prices for online bookings are set at the deposit amounts as per your video. The clients I am booking manually - would I just need to ignore the price showing in the square appointments app and just use my square card reader to charge them the full amount at time of their appointment?
Thanks for the video!! Very helpful!! One issue I am having after setting up my Square this way is that a person with a gift card cannot use it to secure an appointment. I sent Square an email 2 days ago and I'm awaiting a response. If Square just took deposits these workarounds and problems would disappear. Does anyone know why Square won't take deposits on appointments? Ever other appointment software does, thinking of switching to Squarespace (Acquity).
This helped me so much! Is there a way to require pre-payment for certain services, but not for others? Example: I want to require pre-payment for my lash full sets but not fills.
Life saver!! I've been looking forever trying to figure out how to take deposits only!! Now after they pay a deposit is an invoice created on its own with the balance?
@@pisceantouch I’ve been wondering this cos I can’t see the balance on their appointments anymore it just says the deposit is prepaid. So does the balance amount come up on their appointment day?
This is excellent, thank you. Like me you have multiple services they can schedule, does it total everything like in a shopping cart and give you a total deposit?
Thank you for this! Super helpful! How do you take it out of their total at checkout? Do you just apply discount manually or does it automatically do it for you from the total?
Hi! Thank you for this video and for explaining how to set up a deposit, however; for some reason for the day of the appointment, the remaining balance is not updating. It only shows the pre payment (deposit) that was made at the time of booking the appointment. Has anything changed? Am I missing a step? Thank you in advance.
I'm trying to do it right now. I no longer see a prepay option other than FULL prepayment and they want you to have Square Plus to hold a card on file at booking. :/
So sorry to come back to you but I just had my first client setting this up the way that you did and I can’t figure out how to manually and put their card. Once I accept the appointment and charge the client is showing the service as complete
Thanks beauty!🥰 Im super tech saavy but this layout for the site is an Absolute NO NO🤣. So thanks for clarifying this. Will def upgrade to Acuity after I get settled in my business💓
@@pisceantouch Oh my gosh that's awesome lol. Now Im trying to confirm how to send both CC auth form and Consent form at once. They only let you send either or. Currently waiting on their reply *Sigh lol
It will ask if you want to collect a fee after you mark them as a no show. But I never use it. I block them from booking and if they reach out to book I let them know the fee has to be paid first plus the full cost of service before I let them schedule. They usually know how to remove their card before you charge it so charging after the fact is a hit and miss.
I really appreciate you making this video. I have been up for hours trying to figure things out. My question if you are willing to answer it for me and maybe others. When and how do you get the balance of the service fee? My soft opening is a week away and the balance is due, how do they pay it?
Thank you so much! It seems that square updates often because I can never find a RUclips video that looks exactly alike. Is there a way to customize the message in the confirmation email/reminder texts?
Yep, just go to the desktop version, click appointments, click settings then click communications. Scroll down and you can edit from there. I’ll do a video on it soon.
As of right now, square does not offer the option to customize your online booking site URL. It is important to note that the URL will include the text that you've added in the Business Name section of your Account & Settings tab in the Online Dashboard.

So I have got the deposit function working perfectly for bookings done online it’s when i want to book a client in myself. The amount showing when booking a client in is the deposit amount not the full treatment amount. I’m assuming because my prices for online bookings are set at the deposit amounts as per your video. The clients I am booking manually - would I just need to ignore the price showing in the square appointments app and just use my square card reader to charge them the full amount at time of their appointment?
Yep and you can send them an invoice if you want them to pay the deposit. I used square for sending invoices.
Or if you are in person you can add the deposit amount to the balance due and they pay the deposit before they leave for the next appointment.
Thanks for the video!! Very helpful!! One issue I am having after setting up my Square this way is that a person with a gift card cannot use it to secure an appointment. I sent Square an email 2 days ago and I'm awaiting a response. If Square just took deposits these workarounds and problems would disappear. Does anyone know why Square won't take deposits on appointments? Ever other appointment software does, thinking of switching to Squarespace (Acquity).
I recently switched back to acuity. I missed it lol.
This helped me so much! Is there a way to require pre-payment for certain services, but not for others? Example: I want to require pre-payment for my lash full sets but not fills.
Just put $0 as the price but make the display price your regular price
@@pisceantouch That's what I was thinking too, thank you so much!
@@maryredacted my pleasure
Life saver!! I've been looking forever trying to figure out how to take deposits only!!
Now after they pay a deposit is an invoice created on its own with the balance?
Nope they’ll have to pay the rest at their appointment.
@@pisceantouch I’ve been wondering this cos I can’t see the balance on their appointments anymore it just says the deposit is prepaid. So does the balance amount come up on their appointment day?
@@romiesbeautyplace1203 no you just have to charge them the remainder. I use square. Others use zelle, cash, ect
Thank you fellow Pisces!! This worked great!!
🥰🥰
Omg! Thank you so much!! I was so confused but you helped a lot!
Im so glad! Go make that money!
This is excellent, thank you. Like me you have multiple services they can schedule, does it total everything like in a shopping cart and give you a total deposit?
Yep!
Thank you for this! Super helpful! How do you take it out of their total at checkout? Do you just apply discount manually or does it automatically do it for you from the total?
No you have to charge them the remainder separately
@@pisceantouch How do you charge them separately and still have square book keeping accurate?
I use my square credit card terminal and it connects everything
Hi! Thank you for this video and for explaining how to set up a deposit, however; for some reason for the day of the appointment, the remaining balance is not updating. It only shows the pre payment (deposit) that was made at the time of booking the appointment. Has anything changed? Am I missing a step? Thank you in advance.
You will have to charge the remaining balance as a separate payment
@@pisceantouch so I will have to calculate the remaining balance manually each time?
Thank you so much for posting this. Do I need to upgrade or I can do that in the free version. Thank you
I'm trying to do it right now. I no longer see a prepay option other than FULL prepayment and they want you to have Square Plus to hold a card on file at booking. :/
@@lizplathe9125 It's weird for such a big company, they don't have option for collecting partial payment/deposit. I don't like it.
You can use the free version. Here is an updated video. ruclips.net/video/jf5Ni6muIY0/видео.html
Here is an updated video. ruclips.net/video/jf5Ni6muIY0/видео.html
This was perfect!! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Perfect!!! Only question is do the pre payment go towards total? Or do you make the service the difference of the pre payment?
The prepayment is the total. Youll have to charge the remaining amount separately.
Okay I see. I just asked that question. That kind of a bummer though. Square should change this.
Could you do a separate video on how you do you separate transactions smoothly ?
@@ashleyhaith6890 yes its posted. Let me know if you need a more detailed one
Thanks so much for this video . This was very helpful ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Can you do a tutorial on how to create time slots for appointments ?
I sure can. Did you figure it out?
So sorry to come back to you but I just had my first client setting this up the way that you did and I can’t figure out how to manually and put their card. Once I accept the appointment and charge the client is showing the service as complete
Yes so the day of their appointment you have to charge them for the remaining balance
Thanks beauty!🥰 Im super tech saavy but this layout for the site is an Absolute NO NO🤣. So thanks for clarifying this. Will def upgrade to Acuity after I get settled in my business💓
I ended up going back myself lol
@@pisceantouch Oh my gosh that's awesome lol. Now Im trying to confirm how to send both CC auth form and Consent form at once. They only let you send either or. Currently waiting on their reply *Sigh lol
Very Helpful Queen !!!! Question do you know if Square appointment will allow me to create a Questionnaire Form or is that more for Acuity platform
I use square contracts for my forms
But that’s mostly for consent forms. You may need to use jotforms for questionnaires
I typed up a client form on good notes to go over with clients at the start of the appointment.
Alsooo 😝 how does the cancelation fee execute? Do you send a invoice? Is the card stored on file? Does square automatically do it?
It will ask if you want to collect a fee after you mark them as a no show. But I never use it. I block them from booking and if they reach out to book I let them know the fee has to be paid first plus the full cost of service before I let them schedule. They usually know how to remove their card before you charge it so charging after the fact is a hit and miss.
How do I apply the agreement for storing their card info during checkout? Where would that be located at?
Hey did you figure it out?
Please do more video about square apts.
Will do!
I really appreciate you making this video. I have been up for hours trying to figure things out. My question if you are willing to answer it for me and maybe others. When and how do you get the balance of the service fee? My soft opening is a week away and the balance is due, how do they pay it?
My clients pay the remaining balance at the salon on my square terminal
Thank you so much for this video! Amazing ❤
You're so welcome!
Hey. How do I add on extra/ services under a lash set like Lash removals and Lash bathes?
You can’t do add ons with square. You have to add it as a service and your client will have to select them along with the main service.
Can square appointments have deposits and a cancellation fee set up at the same time?
Are u able to make a new video with the updated site? A few of the steps you are showing it’s not the same way of the new look of the site 🤷🏽♀️
I no longer use square for appointments so I won’t be able to make an updated video. I only use it for payment processing. My apologies.
Thank you thank you!!! This helped so much. New Subbie :)
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you so much! It seems that square updates often because I can never find a RUclips video that looks exactly alike.
Is there a way to customize the message in the confirmation email/reminder texts?
Yep, just go to the desktop version, click appointments, click settings then click communications. Scroll down and you can edit from there. I’ll do a video on it soon.
Its under email notification customization
@@pisceantouch thank you kindly!
Girl thank you so much!
My pleasure 😇
this helped so much !! thank you
My pleasure 😇
Very informative! Thank you!
Very welcome!
Thank you for this content! How do you customize your square appointment link with your company name? Thanks in advance.
As of right now, square does not offer the option to customize your online booking site URL. It is important to note that the URL will include the text that you've added in the Business Name section of your Account & Settings tab in the Online Dashboard.
YOU ARE A GENIUS!
😇😇
Why won’t it show the remaining balance of the service ? It’s showing as if the full amount is paid but it’s not. I set everything up like you said
Unfortunately Remaining balance will need to taken separately. I’ve switched to acuity booking ❤
Hey love how do you input add ons? Really in need of help
Square doesn’t have an add on option like acuity. You have to make it a separate service
Awesome! Question, how do you get them to book 4 day packages in the appointment function? All I found was 24 hours max.
Im not familiar with the packages function. i havent used them yet. my apologies.
