Beta Features on Square Appointments
When using Square Appointments, you may encounter a feature labelled “Beta”. Beta features are early versions of a feature that are stable and available for immediate use, developing with more functionality over time.
We are always iterating and improving upon the Square Appointments experience and seeking feedback to ensure it meets the needs of our users. The first iteration of a new feature may have some limitations, but it will continue to be improved upon by our development team. If you are actively using beta features, your settings and data will not be compromised.
Square Appointments Beta features are now publicly available based on your Square Appointments subscription.. As we continue to add more functionality to these features over time, we would love to hear your feedback.

FAQ
Beta is a term used in hardware or software development where features can be tested by a subset of customers before being released to the public. With software solutions, beta features can be released publicly for general use as minor improvements are added over time. Sellers can expect stable performance of publicly available beta features as they will function as intended and any changes will be incremental to the feature.
While there is no set time frame for how long a feature will be in beta, a user should expect that a feature will eventually become generally available when it has gone through most major iterations. We may still make minor changes or adjustments over time based on seller feedback.
