Hi I tried every possible way to make the book button on my Instagram business account and I canāt.
Hi again, @MtLaurel š This should be under "Appointments for Square", as shown in the screenshot below
Hi @utpmiami - Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Square Seller Communityš
I went ahead and merged your post to an existing thread where other Square Sellers have discussed this as well. We merge duplicate conversations together to keep like comments in one place, and to make it easier for others to find the thread in the future.
I suggest starting out with these troubleshooting steps:
When youāve synced Square Appointments with Meta for Business, you may receive an Admin Permission Required message. This error occurs when the admin of a Facebook Business page or Instagram Business profile requires admin access to the Facebook Business Manager account to make changes.
For a staff/team member trying to connect, they will need to enable the permissions set via Facebook Business Manager. To do so, go to Account & Settings > Manage subscriptions to Square services.
To get admin access granted to add a Book Now Button, visit the Meta Business Help Center, particularly this help article: Add People to a Business Account and Add a Business Asset.
If this doesn't improve things, please reach out to Support directly by logging into your Square account and heading here for further assistance.
I hope this helps!
Square says you can post a "book" button on your business Instagram profile, but what I have read online says that Instagram is not set up with Square. Does anyone know how to do this?? HELP!
Hello @thelashbabe904! Square Appointments does integrate with Instragram now! Follow the steps below to add the Book button from your Instagram business profile.
First of all make sure you have:
Then, from Instagram:
Iāve done all of that but for some reason, the āadd an actionā button does not show up on mine! š« under Contact Options all I have is email, number, address.
Hmm, that's strange @thelashbabe904. Just to confirm - do you have a business profile on Instagram (the steps to switch are here)?
So strange! Yes itās a business profile, Iāve attached a Facebook page to it, Iāve added my address and everything! š
Thanks for double checking that for me! I just checked with our Appointments team and this is an issue that Instagram is working on as we speak - I'm so sorry for the trouble and confusion it has caused!
I'll post here again when this has been resolved. (I anticipate it'll take 24-48 hours but I can't make any guarantees yet!) Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!
@thelashbabe904 I'm sorry for the delay. I wanted to let you know we're still working on this and I'll reply here as soon as I can confirm this issue has been resolved! Again, I really appreciate your patience with this.
Iām having an issue with adding the book me button to my business Instagram account. Doesnāt say why.. please help
It doesnāt say why - no error message.. and reaching out to fb/IG is completely pointless as they never respond.
Hmm. Okay, that's unfortunate @Lenadi. Please give our Support Team a call. They can take a look at your account on the backend. Sorry about this š
Hi again @thelashbabe904. I've just heard that this issue has been resolved and you should be able to add the Book button to your Instagram account.
Please reply here to let me know if you're still experiencing issues with this!
It doesnāt show any square appointments any where
Hi @Flashwashh-
I moved your post to this thread. We're experiencing some issues with the Instagram integration but should be back up and running soon. We'll post an update here once we've confirmed that it's resolved. Sorry about that!
Hi Helen, I have followed instructions and I get all the way to the end, then it says, Ôdmin permission required“. Please help.
Hey there @CoastalBliss I am sorry you are experiencing this as well, how annoying. To confirm these are the steps you have followed?

It doesnāt allow me to sign in. I try to type to sign in and it wonāt allow me to but it does allow me to type to set up. I already have one set up, I donāt want to create another. Do I redownload insta for it to allow me to type?
Iām in the exact same position. Canāt type in the sign in box but can create a new account? Odd. Need help asap
I get as far as entering my square email/phone number and it will not let me type anything. I have tried on multiple devices, refreshing, closing and reopening, absolutely everything. It will not let me add my information so that I can add the booking button. Send Help!!
