Square Appointments
#5 in Salon Reservation · Rated 4.5
Booking and payments integrated with Square POS
Square Appointments is the scheduler built into the Square ecosystem, designed for solo practitioners through multi-location teams. It provides a free online booking site, automated reminders, class booking, and resource management. The platform leverages Square Payments for checkout and offers a straightforward path to scale with additional locations. The solution is particularly attractive to businesses already using Square for payments, since it aligns booking with the existing POS and loyalty tools. Drawbacks include a tiered pricing model where some features live behind higher plans and the dependence on Square’s payments framework for full functionality. Ideal for small to mid-sized salons that want seamless scheduling and payments in one vendor stack.
