Get Started with Square Go
Square Go seamlessly connects with Square Appointments so clients can discover, book, and rebook local beauty or personal care professionals. Square Go automatically syncs with Square Appointments to show the same services, prices, and calendar availability—any bookings made via the Square Go app on iOS devices will immediately appear on your Square Appointments POS app.
