Keep bookings clear with Google Calendar

Google Calendar connects your Google Calendar with your Square appointment calendar so your outside commitments affect your bookable time. Busy and free events import from Google to Square, and busy events block time on your appointment calendar. It's designed for sellers who use bookings to manage services, staff availability, and customer appointments.

Square imports both busy and free events from Google Calendar. Busy events block your appointment availability, while free events appear without blocking bookable time. This helps customers book only the times you're actually available.

Google Calendar can help prevent double-bookings. Busy Google Calendar events automatically block time on your Square appointment calendar, helping prevent customers from booking over personal or business commitments. For best results, mark events as busy in Google Calendar when you need that time unavailable.

Google Calendar is available with Square Plus and Square Premium subscribers who have advanced booking capabilities added. Square Free includes booking tools to schedule appointments and manage staff calendars, but this sync feature is tied to Plus or Premium booking capabilities. You can compare plans and start from the plan that fits your scheduling needs.

You can set up Google Calendar from Square Dashboard if you're an account owner or a team member with appointment permissions. Connect the Google Calendar you want to import, then choose the calendar settings for your appointment schedule. Sellers using Square Point of Sale also need bookings mode enabled.

Yes, team members can configure appointment settings when they have the right appointments permission. Account owners can manage permissions in Square Dashboard so the right people can connect calendars and manage availability. This keeps scheduling access clear as your team grows.

Square's Google Calendar sync is built to import Google events into your appointment calendar and block busy time. Manage Google events in Google Calendar, and manage Square bookings in Square. This keeps each calendar organized at the source and helps avoid confusion about where to make changes.

Refresh the synced calendar first, then confirm your Google Calendar connection and appointment permissions. If the calendar is no longer needed or the connection is outdated, remove it and reconnect it from Square Dashboard. Also check that events in Google Calendar are marked busy if you want them to block bookable time.

Yes, sellers can use synced availability with Square booking tools, including when bookings mode is enabled on Square Point of Sale. Setup and calendar management happen through Square account settings, while day-to-day scheduling can happen across Square's appointment tools. This helps you manage appointments from the devices your business already uses.
