Feature Request: Schedule classes + group sessions + multiple clients during one time slot

The title of this post has been edited from the original: Use Square Appointments to schedule classes or group sessions?

Has anyone successfully used Appointments to schedule classes taught to clients/gneeral public?  Looking for tips. Thanks!

Hey @exdub-

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community. 

The ability to book group sessions or an appointment for multiple people is one of our most popular feature requests. I went ahead and moved your post over to this thread to prevent duplicates.

We do not currently have an ideal workaround to suggest. Square Appointments right now isn't optimized for group classes, events, etc. For your business, I may suggest that you use our Square Online Store instead. You will be able to list items as Events, and then sell tickets to the events per person so they can select a quantity:

Let me know if this would work as a workaround for you. Cheers!

We don't currently offer class or group booking with Appointments - certainly a popular request and I know how helpful it would be for you (and many others.) 

For now the only workaround I can suggest would be scheduling overlapping sessions for each client in the group/appointment. However, it's only possible for you to create overlapping appointments manually on your calendar, so this isn't something your customer's could book.

Thanks for your patience while we work to expand the features in our Appointments app. We'll definitely let you if a better solution is available in the future.

Thanks RickG for your response, how embarrassing for them!  Yikes.  Oh well.  🙂

Similar request here - I have a spa where we offer memberships. Some type of account credit that isn't a gift card, or a session number tracker would be extremely helpful. We also offer packages that require multiple service providers. Being able to do this at all would be helpful. I have been waiting for this since I signed up, and I'm now exploring other software solutions. It's just too much manual work and it takes up way too much of my time.

I'm in the same boat with others. Please update me when/if booking multiple appointments at the same time because without it Square calendar is useless to my business. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for checking in here, @hurtsellers. I went to check for developments but there isn't anything that I can access and share out at this time. We will certainly ping this thread as anything comes up. Appreciate your patience in the meantime—keep in touch.

It's been almost two years since this thread was started and still no development on this widely requested feature. Disappointed. How much upsell revenue could be gained from existing Square customers who would love to enroll in scheduling but are currently going to third-parties?

@Devon Please don’t keep us hanging. Any plan for this feature soon?

I am trying to create more of an event than a service such as an open house that multiple people can sign up to go but not necessarily block out the time or schedule for a specific time. We have classes we'd like multiple people to sign up for during the same time frame as well. Is there any way to do this?
