Fynn books, moves and cancels appointments in Square Appointments

Connect Square Appointments with your Square sign in, and Fynn offers the free times of your Square online booking in every conversation. After the client's yes, he books, moves and cancels appointments right in Square, and your team sees each client's next appointments next to the chat.


Overview

Clients of salons, barbers, spas and studios write on every channel: WhatsApp, the website chat, email. Many want an appointment, a later time or to cancel. With Square Appointments connected, Fynn answers with real times from your Square online booking, up to 3 at once with the time zone of the location, and books the one the client picks.

Square stays in charge. Your Square settings decide the hours, the services, the notice and how far ahead clients can book, and Fynn offers only what your online booking offers. In Deskwoot you pick the team members and services Fynn offers. Services with a cancellation fee, services that are not bookable online and services at the client's place stay in Square.

Before he books, Fynn repeats the service, the team member, the time and the name, adds your cancellation policy and asks "Is that right?". On his own he books only for a client your team linked or whose email address or WhatsApp number Deskwoot verified. Everything else waits for your team, and bookings by SMS always wait. If you accept each request in Square yourself, the client hears your answer in the chat.

Next to the conversation, your team sees the linked client with up to 5 upcoming and 3 earlier appointments, and can link a client or create a new one. On Square Appointments Free, Fynn changes only the bookings he made. On Plus or Premium he also changes bookings made in Square, and your team can cancel them from Deskwoot. Changes made in Square show up in the conversation too: Square reports them, and Deskwoot checks every 5 minutes.

Square Appointments connects for Square accounts based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia, one Square account per workspace. You sign in with Square, so Deskwoot never sees your Square password, and it never copies your client list or reads payments or cards. Connecting works on every plan, the Free plan included, and Fynn books on every paid plan and in the 7 day trial. The integration is in beta.

Square Appointments integration FAQ

The short answers are here. For anything else, ask Fynn below.

Which countries does it work in?

Square Appointments connects for Square accounts based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia. Square accounts in other countries cannot be connected yet.

Which Square Appointments plan do I need?

Square Appointments Free is enough for Fynn's own bookings: he books them and moves or cancels them when the client asks. With Plus or Premium, Fynn can also change bookings made in Square, and your team can cancel them from Deskwoot.

Why does a booking wait for my team?

On his own, Fynn books only for the client your team linked to the contact, or for a verified email address or WhatsApp number, so nobody can book under someone else's profile. Otherwise your team picks the client on the card. A text message does not prove who sent it, so bookings by SMS always wait for your team.

What happens close to an appointment?

Fynn follows the cancellation window you set in Square. Inside it, he tells the client that you will get back to them and hands the conversation to your team. Payments, deposits, tips, gift cards, packages, memberships and 2 services in one visit go to your team too.

What does Deskwoot never read or keep?

Deskwoot never asks Square for payments, cards or gift cards and never copies your client list. When it looks up a client, it drops the birthday, address and notes at once. It never changes an existing client profile.

What does it cost?

Connecting Square Appointments costs nothing extra in Deskwoot and works on every plan, the Free plan included. Fynn's booking comes with every paid plan, and a 7 day trial includes it. The integration is in beta.
