Can my customers book multiple days at once?

Can my customers book multiple days at once?

Hello! I run a dog-walking business and am wondering if there is a way for my customers to book appointments on multiple days at once instead of having to re-enter their info every time.

 

I.E., Rufus needs a walk on 5/22, 5/24-5/25 and 5/28. 

 

Thank you!

Re: Is it possible to allow my customers to book multiple dates?

Hi @EthanK

 

Welome to the Seller Community!

 

While you can enable your customers to book multiple servies with the same staff member, you're not able to book multiple days for the same appointment. 

 

They'll need to go through the booking flow for each day, or have you manually add these appointments for them on your end through your calendar in your Appointments Dashboard.

Re: Does Square Appointments accept full day bookings for use at a bed and breakfast?

Hi @festivewestbnb, welcome to the Community. 

 

Hmm, I'm not sure Appointments would be ideal for this scenario. At least currently, Square Appointments does not offer full day or overnight booking. You could create a "service" that would act as a reservation, and have it fill your available appointment time for a particular day, but it may look pretty confusing from the customer's perspective. 

 

Definitely see how it would be a useful feature in this example, so thanks for sharing. Let us know if you have any other questions around this!

I run a pet sitting business and would love to be able to have my invoicing, and booking all in one place. However the inability for clients to book for multiple services in one day and set that to repeat until X date is highly limiting.  For Example: We have Jane Doe and she would like to book the following services. 

Starting January 4th
Quick Cat Visit
Times 8:00am and 5:00pm
Repeating until January 8th at 8:00am

Still not updated?  I would love to set this up for my kayak rental business that does weekly rentals.  Not usable for me now.  

I am booking equipment, and need to set this up in intervals by day.  My bookings are for 2 days or 5 days (I could have other intervals in the future)

If I set my equipment up as staff, then I need the ability to manage and book that by these day intervals.  I also need to be able to add extra time up to 1 or 2 days when I am 'picking up' this equipment from the customer.  Thanks in advance!

Creating appointments with a duration longer than 24 hours is currently a feature request, @tossandtote

On that note - welcome back to the Seller Community  I've moved your post to this thread where others have expressed interest in this capability so that you will be the first to know if we have news to share about this feature request!

The original request for longer appointment times was made 3 years ago. I've been wanting to use the Appointment portal to schedule rentals at our campsite. By the number of subsequent requests and replies this would seem to be a popular feature. However, after all this time no upgrade to the app has been made. 

Hi, I'm currently working on trying out different booking sites for a pet boarding business and I can work with what I've done so far, but I was wondering if there was a way for clients to book multiple days? Example: March 15 - March 26. If not I can work with that is available but I was just seeing if anyone could help me out. Thanks!

Not at this time. I found the thread where we're tracking this feature request. @spertuit

On square appointments is it possible to set a service to span two days?

Hi and welcome to the Seller Community! 👋

 

This would be considered a feature request at this time, @SoftSilkyWaxing.

 

I've moved your post to this existing thread where others have asked for this to be built out.

We'll be sure to post an update here if something changes in the future!

Hello!

 

Is there a way to allow customers to choose a block of days, or a start and end date, for services?

 

For instance, we are a dog sitting company and our clients need to choose multiple days for their services.

They also don't need to choose service times.

 

Is there a way to allow customers to schedule multiple appointment dates, no time, and choose them at the same time rather than have to schedule each day separately?
