New Point of Sale Features in Square Appointments

All the functionality from Square Point of Sale is now available in your Square Appointments app! 

 

This new feature includes the ability to:

 

  • Further Customize your services 
    • Create services with variations or modifications—like the ability to charge less for a short haircut vs. long haircut or upsell hot stones for a client’s massage. Select which services are available per location.
  • Get cleaner reports
    • Services are now categorized in sales reports, making it easier than ever to keep a pulse on your business.
  • Automatically apply taxes 
    • Taxes are now automatically applied at checkout. Add  to all items and services or only a select few—your call. 

 

To create a service from the Square Appointments app:

 

  1. Visit the Items & Services menu in your Square Appointments app.
  2. Click All Services > Create Service and add the service details. 
  3. Choose whether this service will be available for clients during online booking.
  4. Choose which staff members can be booked for this service.
  5. Block off any necessary transition time between appointments and click Save.

 

Keep in mind: time-based units, such as hours and minutes, are not yet supported with Square. However, you can always use custom units to track these items.

 

In case you’d like to continue with the previous price types, here are a few workarounds which can be helpful:

 

  • Starting At: Set your service price to your base amount and use the Display Price field to communicate to your buyers that this price is the starting price. For example, typing in “Starting at $50” into this field will display this phrase on your online booking site next to your service. 
  • Free: Setting the price to $0.00 creates a free service. The price description on your online booking site will also say Free. Please note: You will need to tap into the field and type “0” instead of leaving it empty.
  • Price Varies: Leave the price field empty. Like the “Starting At” method, you can enter “Price Varies” into the Display Price field on the service edit page and that phrase will be displayed by the service on your online booking site.
  • Call Us: Leave the price field empty. Then enter “Call Us” into the Display Price field on the service edit page and that phrase will be displayed by the service on your online booking site.
  • Blank: Leave the price field empty. Then enter “blank” into the Display Price field on the service edit page and no pricing information will be displayed by the service on your online booking site
