Life is hectic, especially when you’re trying to run your own business. Relying on a pen and paper approach to booking appointments can mean confusion and missed opportunities—double bookings are frustrating for customers and can negatively affect your reputation.
Customers like to plan ahead, so offering the option to easily book an appointment for services like a spa appointment, food tour, or fitness class can give you the edge over your competition. An appointment scheduling software will provide your customers with a convenient way to schedule an appointment. And it will make managing all of your appointments more efficient for you.
The Square App Marketplace offers a number of appointment scheduling software apps that fully integrate with Square Point of Sale. These apps are suited to a variety of industries and website types.
Appointment scheduling software integrated with Square
Here’s a look at what’s available:
1. Checkfront
Integrates with online travel agencies such as Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, AirBnB and Facebook, so it is ideal for sellers offering rentals, tours, activities, and accommodations. Square supports online transactions and in-person payments via Checkfront’s mobile POS app, and the booking system works with any existing website.
2. Acuity
Ideal for sellers offering lessons, training, or classes (such as fitness or dog training) since advanced reporting lets you know about no-shows and other performance metrics. Acuity also supports tipping from clients, allows you to offer coupons and vouchers to customers when they schedule, and lets you easily upsell clients with additional add-ons during the scheduling process.
3. Wix Bookings
Works with any Wix website and supports group classes and automatic email reminders. It also syncs with Google Calendar to manage staff calendars and appointments. It’s ideal for salons, fitness studios, photographers, designers, lessons, tutors, and cleaning services.
