Feature Request: Allow my client to pay for multiple appointments in one transaction

[JenVerg]

The title of this post has been edited from the original: Appointments Application: How do I checkout and include multiple appointments on one ticket?

I recently did a soft launch of my business. I tried to close out my appointments and process them all under one ticket but quickly realized this was not possible. In my business model, I can go to a location with multiple contractors. Each contractor can have 1 to many services booked for the day. I need the ability to check out, add multiple appointments to one ticket, and charge that payment to one customer. - Example 1: Jane gets her cut by John, her makeup done by Carol, and her hair styled by Miguel. Jane is just one customer and should not have to process her card 3 different times. - Example 2: John gets his hair done by Max, his beard trimmed by Joe, and decides he wants to pay for Jane's bill in example one. In addition, there is a contractor attached to each service and they get a 70% commission and so this needs to be tracked accordingly for payroll. Currently, I do not see a way to do this. So I figured I'd post here to see what my options may be... This is a big problem for my business model. Thank you in advance for your help and guidance. JenVerg

Ah, so you're asking if it's possible to pay for two appointments in one card swipe.

This feature has been requested by others in this thread so I've moved your post here - thanks for letting us know how it would benefit your customers. I circled back and this is currently still a feature request. We'll update this thread if we hear any updates!

Hi @JenVerg, thanks for your post. At this time it's not possible to check out multiple Appointments at the same time, you will need to check out one appointment at a time. 

I understand that this isn't ideal for your business model but I'm glad you let us know how you'd like to use Square Appointments. I'll share this feedback with our Appointments team and it will help them to prioritize which features to build next!

We need the option for one guest to pay for multiple guests’ appointments, and check out all appointments. I’m currently the 10th person to request this- any chance this feature request could be escalated from “being tracked” and implemented?

how to credit two workers on same ticket. ie..a dad and son get hair cut from two different barbers.  they are independent contractors and we are new to square.  1 week.  trying to figure out proper setup for barbershops

It isn't currently possible to check out two different appointments at the same time, @barber2007. This is a highly requested feature for us, though - thank you for adding your voice here so our Appointments team can see how many people are interested in this. I've moved your post to the thread where we are currently tracking interest in this feature.

We'll be sure to post here if we have an update to share, to stay subscribed to the thread to be notified.

Hi there, @alexdoeshair! Thanks for taking the time to add your voice to this thread. We don't have any shareable update for you at this time, but when there is news to share - we will be sure to vocalize it heavily on this thread. Thanks for your patience!

Concerning the option to add a tip with cash or check payments, this would also be considered a feature request. I would recommend taking a look at this Best Answer from Sean as a workaround.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey @Joe - any update?

How do I combine appointments for checking out on one credit card.  For example I have a lot of Moms that come in with siblings plus themselves for services.

Thanks for your post, @DreamscapeSalon. There isn't a way to do that right now, though it would be a great addition. I'm going to merge your post into another thread about this so you can get updated if we add this feature.

Are there any updates on this? This is a very basic and necessary feature in the spa setting.

Hi @Atabeira,

We do not have a public timeline on this feature request at the moment. Rest assured we will update you the minute we launch a new product or hear about any new workarounds.

I too would loooove to have this feature. As a hairstylist, I often have 2, 3, 4... members of the same family come in. I’d like to bundle them all together and pay from their appointment and not have to do a separate POS transaction for them all. It’s such a sloppy receipt and I like keeping a detailed history of each client’s service and payment history
