Scheduling that suits your style.

Make it easy for clients to find and book you with Square Appointments.

Live by the sword

“Square Appointments has been one of the most important tools we’ve implemented. It’s helped us maximize our availability and our staff’s time.”

— Rudy Temiz,
Co-Owner of Live By The Sword Tattoo

Your craft brings the crowds, booking gets them through the door.

Painless scheduling

Let your clients book the appointments. A free booking site enables clients to book their preferred artist — or whoever is available — even when you’re closed.

Give clients more ways to book.

Social media integrations enable clients to find you, view your work, and make an appointment with a few taps.

Keep conversations organized.

Message your clients via text or email. No matter how you send it, every conversation lives in Square Messages. To save time, your (digital) Square Assistant confirms, cancels, and reschedules on your behalf.

Send forms ahead of time.

Build custom forms and waivers and attach them to booking confirmations so there are no surprises. Ensure clients understand your policies by requiring them to acknowledge the terms and conditions before booking.

Work better as a team.
