Is there "recurring appointment" option in Square Appointments?

TheNailAlchemis — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 14:05:55 GMT

I am a nail tech and most of my clients are recurring appointments. On StyleSeat I'm able to choose where they come back weekly or every 2 weeks, 3 weeks or 4 weeks and so on. Does square also have this option?

Hello @TheNailAlchemis, thanks for surfacing!

Yes, you can schedule their recurring appointments from your Calendar tab in your Square Appointments Dashboard.

To do this:

Click and drag the block of time you'd need to book.
Enter your client's information, service, notes, and book a staff member.
Click Repeats and set the repeating schedule.
Click Save.

Find more information on this in our Support Center. Hope this helps! 📅 💅 ✨

Is there a way to allow clients to do this?

Hey @SwimFreak, welcome to the seller community!

At this time, there isn't a way for your clients to book recurring services themselves, though this is something that we're tracking. Apologies for any inconvenience, and please let us know if you have any other questions.

Just popping in to see if clients can "recur" their own appointments. I hope so. For me, the single biggest benefit of online booking is for me to NOT have to do it. Any of it.

Thanks, Tom!!!

Reoccurring appointment

Clementine — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 18:07:57 GMT

I have many clients that book their appointments on a reoccurring status and sometimes up to 1 yr in advance, is this a possibility to do this automatically without going into each month and setting up an appointment

How would i schedule a reaccurring appointment say, every 4 weeks on a wednesday specificly?

@Ayeager81 When creating an appointment from your Appointments Dashboard Calendar, you'll want to check the "Repeat" box from the Appointment Details section.

You'll have the option to select "Weekly" as the frequency, and set the date to the Wednesday that the series will occur.

Ok thank you. What about one of my clients wants to come in on the first Wednesday of each month. How would i do that?

Re: Is there "recurring appointment" option in square appointments?

EJ_ — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 20:47:58 GMT

@Ayeager81 Unfortunately you're only able to setup recurring appointments on a specific date (e.g. 1st of the month every month). Since the first Wednesday of each month could fall on different dates of the month, there isn't a way to do this automatically.

My question is regarding the client's ability to schedule a recurring apppintment

Hi @TextureExpert

Only the Square Seller is able to set up a recurring appointment series at this time.

While customers can book a one time appointment only, you can click on the appointment they've booked from your Appointments Calendar and check the "repeat" box and set up a recurring series from your end.

How to customize the frequency of an appointment. I am looking for 2 weeks.

Tashatl — Sun, 03 Dec 2017 19:45:08 GMT

This reply created from merging an existing thread: "How to customize the frequency of an appointment. I am looking for 2 weeks."

I need to make a reoccurring appointment for every two weeks at the same time.

Why is there not a feature to book appointments for varying repeat options, i.e. "every 3rd Thursday of the month"? For example, Google Calendar has that option and more. Prior to Square Appointments, I used Google Calendar for my scheduling.

Please give this feedback to your engineers. I have numerous clients who I see every 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th (day of the week) on an ongoing basis.

Thanks!

Hi @KuaBody - are you asking about setting up recurring appointments from your side or the client's?

@EJ_ shared below that although clients aren't able to schedule recurring appointments, you as the merchant can set appointments to be recurring. His response with instructions for how to do this is below 👇

@katieand Thanks for asking. Yes, I would like to setup reoccuring appointments on my end for my clients. I don't allow clients to book appointments online at this time. The current feature on Appointments doesn't allow for varying scheduling options, i.e. every 3rd Thursday of the Month, etc. It creates a huge problem on the calendar (for me) with many of clients who have this arrangement. I submitted a ticket, still waiting for a response. I also use Google Calendars for other purposes and it has this "scheduling" feature which is very helpful. This should be an easy fix for Square Appointments programmers. Hope they can upgrade it soon. I've used Appointments from it's inception (2+ years ago).
