Appointments Subscription FAQs
There are three Square Appointments subscription plans: Free, Plus and Premium.
Square Appointments Free provides access to all the essential features you need to run your business.
Square Appointments Plus provides access to the core Appointments features to help you save time, expand your business and operate smoothly.
Square Appointments Premium gives you access to everything Square Appointments has to offer and is best for large teams and multi-location businesses.
If you have created staff accounts and they are assigned to more than two custom permission sets that determine their access level, you are utilising Advanced Access features. Advanced Access, which is included with Appointments Premium, allows you to define unlimited permission sets, set up commissions for your team, pull labour and sales reports and more.
If you subscribe to Free or Plus, you will only be able to create one set of permissions for your team under Team Permissions. To change a staff member’s permission set:
- go to the Staff tab on your Square Appointments Dashboard.
- Click the staff member that requires a changed permission set.
- Under Staff Member Permissions, select the Team Permissions permission set.
- If you see a message that this permission set does not have Appointments access enabled, click Enable team permissions for Appointments and follow the prompts to enable the proper permissions for this permission set to access Appointments.
- Click Save.
You can always edit permissions by editing the Team Permissions set in the Team Permissions settings on your Square Dashboard.
If you’d like to keep access to create and assign unlimited custom permission sets, you’ll need to subscribe to either Appointments Premium or separately subscribe to Advanced Access.
You may see information about the new pricing plans and features in your Appointments mobile app, but subscribing to an Appointments plan can only be done through your online Square Dashboard.
Yes! Appointments will still be available at no monthly cost under the Free plan, which enables you to manage bookings and payments for a single location. However, some features will only be available to paying subscribers. You only pay for processing fees.
Yes, custom pricing is available to businesses that process more than $250k in card sales annually. With the custom pricing plans, you get access to all the features for free and are eligible for subscription discounts on additional Square business tools. To find out if you’re eligible for custom pricing, please Contact Sales.
Any changes to your plan will be reflected in your next billing cycle (the first of the next month).
If you upgrade to the Plus or Premium plan, you will get access to those features immediately, and your next bill will be prorated based on your activation date.
If you downgrade to the Plus or Free plan, you will get access to those features immediately, but we will not be able to provide a refund for any unused time under the paid subscription.
You can also pause your subscription for up to three months – you won’t be charged during this time. Resume your subscription at any time and pick up where you left off. To learn more about pausing subscriptions, visit our Pause Subscription FAQs.
Yes. With Square Appointments Plus or Premium, you can select the specific location where you want to use Square Appointments. However, you cannot apply different plans to different locations, so any location you do not select with your Square Appointments plan will not be bookable.
You can select which location you would like the Free plan to be applied to. The data for your other locations will always be stored there, should you upgrade to a plan that manages multiple locations.
Please feel free to contact Square Support with any questions you may have. You can speak to our team via live chat, phone or email.
No – whether your client pays the prepayment on the booking site or you create the appointment in your dashboard and apply the prepayment, the rate charged should be the same. However, if you create the appointment and apply the prepayment, as a best practice, you should always receive credit card authorisation from your clients in order to save and charge a card on file.
If you have a no-show or cancellation policy in place that charges clients a fee for missing or cancelling their appointment, your clients consent to this policy at the time of their booking on your site. If you take bookings by phone, you should receive verbal consent and credit card authorisation from your clients in order to save and charge a card on file for future bookings.
