Appointments: Can I book an one appointment but have an open block of time in the middle?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Book back option in Appointments

 

Im looking to see if there is an option in square apointments where I could book something with an open block of time in the middle?
Example; booking a hair color job, appointment is at 1:00, takes 45 mins, leave 45 minute block open in the middle for processing, then comb out 45 block at the end.

Welcome to the Seller Community, @SupaStylist!

 

I went to check on this and it looks like another seller brought up a similar request in this thread: How to create processing time after a hair color service?

 

Have a look there and let us know if any questions remainโ€”hopefully the workaround suggested by Helen helps for now. Appreciate your patience as we make improvements based on seller feedback.

It doesnโ€™t look like you offer the feature Iโ€™m looking for. In not offering this simple feature, it would double appointment making time and confuse things at my salon. If it werenโ€™t for that I would try using square for all my business needs! Too bad! ๐Ÿ˜ž this would have streamlined everything beautifully

@IAmCourtney I'll share your feedback with the Appointments team, I know that being able to have an open block of time in the middle of an appointment would help a lot of other sellers too. We'll let you know if this feature is available in future!

@IAmCourtney My apologies, we're not quite at the point of testing this in CA yet, but I will keep both of your interests and let you know when we're ready! Hopefully soon!
