Square Appointments

One of the easiest to set up app for appointments

Pros:

I loved how easy it was to set up. There were quite a few steps involved, but the app provided the steps needed and let me know if I was missing anything.

Cons:

I don't have many cons right now. So far it's met all of my needs.

Good but with limitations

Comments: If had a local business I would not shift away from Square, but since my business serves customers globally I needed a better alternative.

Pros:

The best thing about Square Appointments that the free feature gives you most of the options, most important being to collect payments and deposit them straight into your bank account. No fuss. Easy to use and integrate.

Cons:

However, Square Appointments is best for people who serve local clientele and do not serve clientele based in another time zone. In my case, I have a business where I meet up online with people located in different time zones and across the globe. The biggest disadvantage is that Square Appointments does not show booking times in their local time zone. It uses my time zone everywhere, it makes it super confusing for people who are booking. Another con, is that it will collect payments only in your currency, it won't convert or collect payments in another currency. I am based in Australia, but my customers in Canada would want to pay in Canadian Dollars and not Australian dollars, thus is a bit of hinderance for me. The last thing is that if you wish to go paid then it is pretty expensive starting at $35 per month, per location. All this when other competitors are giving the same features for much less.

Don't know what I would do if I didn't have Square Appointments - it's a life saver!

Comments: Just a fantastic experience overall.

Pros:

Ease of use for both me and all of my clients.

Cons:

Nothing! I have not experienced any short commings

Square Appointment

Pros:

I like having the availability on my website for my customers to see it

Cons:

But it is a little difficult setting it up on the website I had to reset it a few times.

Great app for salon and bridal events!

Comments: Overall love square appointments way more than other scheduling apps we’ve used. It is the easiest and most customizable.

Pros:

User friendly, easy to edit, easy to customize in general appointments. Individual appointments are easy to customize but a little more time needed.

Cons:

The app glitches when it comes to the required cc on file. Even if that option is selected in settings, some clients somehow still bypass it. This is a big deal when they are new clients and end up being a no show.
