Is it possible to set a service area in square appointments?

Can a service area be defined in square appointments? It is true that we are able to set a service area for the delivery of products, but can we do the same for services? We are a mobile company that visits clients at their homes. We do, however, charge a mileage fee for individuals outside of our service area. In lieu of adding the additional charge at checkout as is the case with delivery, we are currently required to send an invoice for the additional charge. Is this an existing feature I am missing?

 

Before a workaround is proposed, I would like to make it clear that I am not able to offer every service as a product, as this would require clients to purchase a product and then go back into the system to schedule an appointment. Therefore, online booking does not provide the convenience that it was intended to provide.

Hi @AcuLabPros 👋 Welcome to the Seller Community

 

I do not believe it is possible to set up a service area through Appointments.

 

I am going to tag some fellow Sellers that may have an alternative suggestion for you.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

So I have dabbled a little with Appointments and used it once or twice but not much. That is a good question that I need to know myself. I was actually planning to start testing it out and do away with what we use now. If you can wait a few days I’ll dig and see if I can figure out myself.

We deliver, but when customers order from us, they pay upon delivery so I can always add a delivery fee.
