Appointments Booking for Square

Appointments Booking for Square puts your Square Appointments booking flow on your own WordPress pages with one shortcode. Clients book without leaving your website, and every appointment is created in your Square account, exactly like a booking made on Square's own booking page. Nothing to re-enter: services, prices, durations, team members, opening hours and intake questions are read live from Square. You keep managing everything in your Square Dashboard.
