How do I set up online appointments on Square?
Short answerSquare's help page describes enabling online booking in the dashboard under Appointments, then Online Booking, then Channels [1]. You can then publish a booking site or copy a booking link or embed code for your own website [1]. The steps below paraphrase that page, which should be checked for current wording.
The explanation
According to the vendor's help center, the path begins in the dashboard: open Appointments, go to Online Booking and Channels, and switch on online booking [1]. If you have several locations, you choose which ones appear [1].
There are two ways to publish. One is to preview and edit a booking site and then publish it, after which the vendor shows the site address you can copy [1]. The other is to add the booking flow to a site you already own, using either a link or an HTML embed code that opens the flow in a new tab or window [1].
The page also notes that accepting prepayments requires card processing to be activated, and that some website themes need a paid subscription [1]. Switching booking off uses the same toggle [1]. Because menus change, follow the vendor's page while you work instead of relying on this summary.
