Feature Request - Group Bookings for Square Appointments

[AHWT]

I run a variety of exercise services.  A weekend bootcamp that goes for 8 weeks each so once people sign up they are automatically in for the next 8 weeks.

Kids bootcamp which are only on at set times each week based on age group.

And then one-to-one personal training which I have a few appointments a week available.

I am struggling to organise the various bookings on Square.  Is it possible to have one service that is booked and paid for once every 8 weeks.  

The kids bootcamp people can sign up each week but I can't work out how to limit the two sessions to only one particular age group.

The one-to-one sessions are okay, I've managed to get those done. 

Any advice appreciated.  TIA

Need some help with this one, as I have no idea if it will work or not.

Can the same appointment time be booked repeatedly with only one 'staff' members calendar in use?

Ie: I'm selling 10 tickets to a class I am running in my cafe, and want to be able to let people book online.

Can this be done?

PLEASE say yes o.o

Hello, just wanted to add my request for a group booking feature as well! 

I am looking for solution where multiple customers can book in for a group class on a casual basis - but I can cap the number of bookings per session.

I do hope that this is something that will be introduced in the not too distant future!

I ended up using the 'event' option when creating the item in my store. Had the ability to put in a certain time, & how many 'tickets' to the event could be sold.

Setting up my pilates business online. Immediately found Square to be the most intuitive, value for money platform but was disappointed to find they did not allow for group bookings which meant I couldn't proceed any further. Would strongly encourage incorporating group bookings function.

Thanks for adding your feedback @Pilates_O - I hope this is something we'll be able to incorporate into Appointments in the future, and will update this thread if I hear of any news on the feature!
