Discount Codes to be used when booking an appointment online

[JuniperRising]

I'd like to offer a special for clients for booking online, but there is no option for them to enter in a discount code when booking their appointment. This would be an essential asset to business marketing, promotions and bookings. It's important to have pre-paid booking options, but if i want to offer a discount, there doesn't seem to be any way to do this

This will never release. Square just doesn't care that much. It is unfortunate. An optimist at heart, but just not when it comes to Square making timely product updates. Square Appointment Exceutives move slower than rock formation.

They could turn their customers into ambassadors. Instead, critics. 

Do better, Square.

@Stylezbeautyco , Square will NEVER develop this. They move too slowly. 

Prove me otherwise, Square. And don't be spineless and ban me. Own up to your shortcomings. Be better, Square.

Hi @JuniperRising - Thanks for stopping by the Ideate Board!

Your request is one that is very popular that we also hope to see implemented soon.

It would be awesome to see service providers also able to give their customers discounts when booking services, especially now as we zoom into the holiday season.

While there is no exact announcement date for this roll out we want you to know that our engineers do have eyes on this request and we are more than happy to update you with information as soon as we know more about a release date for this feature.

Thanks again for stopping by with your request.

My business speed tours and experience. When you book a tour, you enter the checkout on square appointments. You select your date and time for your tour and then enter your credit card info. But there is nowhere to enter a coupon code or redeem a gift card. It only shows a box for your credit card info. No other input boxes are available. How do I make those appear?

Welcome to the Seller Community, @Newportclassics 👋

I merged your post to a feature request thread since it is not currently possible to use a coupon code with the Square Appointments checkout page. 

We will make sure to update this thread if this changes in the future. 😊

Thanks, and welcome again to the Seller Community!

This is really absurd.

Square, please make it possible for gift card holders, both Egift cards and plastic, to pay for a full or partial Square appointment.  We can't promote the sale of gift cards because they can't use them to book the appointments.  Instead we have to tell them to buy a card, call us they we have to use a multi step workaround only available in one of the POS setups to apply the gift card.  It's maddening.

Has this happened yet?!

The more money we make by adding this feature, the more Square makes as well!

@JJ_ any updates? It’s 2023 now and still waiting on this feature.

I need to give a discount to some of our clients. We do house calls, and people book an appointment...is there an option in Squere to set up a booking with a promo code?

Or what is the way for the client to use the promo code?

Yes Square is a little behind on features and things offered on the website. I’m thinking to switch over to acuity because they have everything you need. 

we need promo codes, organized categories for when clients select an appointment, prices shown in the Confirmation email and so much more.
