WISH LIST ITEMS FOR SQUARE APPOINTMENTS

[JoeBritz]

AUTOMATED WAIT LIST - A waitlist that my staff can use that allows options/thresholds such as > date time frame > appointment/service > service provider or any employee then if the criteria is met, square automatically text/emails the client to offer the spot

CLIENT CHECK IN FUNCTION - When clients walk in, I would like to select the appointment and have a button that functions as a pager for staff to come out and greet their clients.

"BOOK NEXT" FUNCTION ON THE REGISTER - It's only available on my laptop and would increase prebooking workflow and moral, why isn't this option available on square registers?

DRAG AND DROP/COPY APPOINTMENTS - drag appointment lengths longer or shorter, drag appointments to other service providers (e.g. a service provider calls out or client needs different appointment > it would be AMAZING to drag and drop anywhere), copy appointments to a side bar then find dates and paste it in. 

GRATUITY ON SERVICES ONLY!? - We have a service business but also have retail, this issue has been on the radar for years and still no fix. If a client gets a service and buys a purse from our boutique they shouldn't tip on the purse. When can we expect a fix on this?

Love this!!!!!

I’d like to add….

Option to print client info for each appointment.  Sometimes it’s not feasible to cart around a laptop or tablet. Having a printable option so they stylist can make notes about formulas, consult topics, etc.  Then at the end of the day transcribe those details into the clients notes. 

[JoeBritz]

Is there a way to add pop-up notes for clients? I haven't been able to figure that out.

Hello @JoeBritz! 

I wanted to thank you all for the great feedback provided on what you'd like to see changed with the Appointments platform to benefit your businesses. 

When you have a moment, could you take a look at our Ideate Board for these? We started a new way to gather feature request to help streamline the process with our Product Team. 
 

If you don't see your feature request, please feel free to add a new one. And if you see your request, you can add a comment or like to show how many sellers are still interested in seeing this feature be added to the roadmap. 

[JoeBritz]

Great thank you!

[LusterSalon]

I’d love a pop up feature too but I’ve been using the notes feature and setting a date/time to get an alert. Let’s say you want to remember to talk to a client about something, you could make a note then set a day/time to remind you. It could be the day of the appointment or a week before. It’s not exactly like a pop up but helpful.

Your suggestions are great, but literally all I want is Square Appointments to sync to my Google Calendar without having to pay $29!!!!! It’s outrageous Square doesn’t offer any sort of notification reminders (for team members, not clients) or calendar sync for free.

[mdgolden01]

Whooohooooooooo we now have a notification alert now when someone adds them selfs to the waitlist!! 

Square Employees you are all amazing!! Thank you so much for adding this!! 

[JoeBritz]

What wait list? Where do I find this functionality? 

[mdgolden01]

I’m in the beta program, 

I had someone help me join the waitlist when it opened. Maybe one of the admins can help ?? 

@Olive @Stephanie have been super helpful with things 

[JoeBritz]

Oh! I thought it was a waitlist within the appointments software not for the beta program. My clients could use a wait list.

[mdgolden01]

Technically it kind of is. It’s apart of the appointments. So a client can go to my online booking and if they don’t see a date and time that works they can add themselves to the waitlist. 

feel free to have a look at how it works on the client end.  Then when someone puts themselves on my waitlist it notifies me on my end. Which is awesome!!

>Book Now button!! 

[JoeBritz]

I see it! But my appointments don't offer it and I cant find where to toggle that functionality on! @Olive @Stephanie do you know how to do this? 

[Doran]

YES to all of this!  I hope you pop over to ideate section and gold star all of these in there and a review.  The more of us in that section asking for these things the more likely they will get delivered.  I know a few of them are in beta but pop over to the feature request secions of each of these and add your two cents!

[Stacelyn24]

This wish list is amazing!!!! Yes and yes to all of these things.  We do now have an text alert to show when a client adds themselves to the wait list.  Square is working on the wait list feature as we speak so remember we're at the basic features at the moment...but...with a wish list like this we can definitely all benefit from.   But I thought that there was an option that you could turn tipping off on "items" and that the bug was fixed by Square.

[JoeBritz]

I would love to know about the tipping option ... if it was category specific maybe? Asking everyone to "custom tip" is kind of a pain.
