🌍 Overview
Square POS allows any business to manage their payments, digital receipts, open tickets, inventory, reports and more, all from one place.
We partner with Square to allow you to take payments for your bookings at the point of the customer booking via your customer-facing booking tools or by sending the customer a payment request email.
Square offers various channels to take payments, allowing you to view payments for bookings alongside your other payments e.g. point of sale payments.
Card payment acceptance with the Square app is currently available in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, France and Spain.
Square is PCI and SSL compliant and your customer details are sent straight from your booking tool to Square's secure servers.
Square offers a simple signup process, allowing you to get set up in just a few minutes.
Square offer competitive prices and products to support small and growing businesses. Check out Square's prices here.
Appointedd also has an integration with Square Point of Sale, allowing you to take payment for your bookings at your till and have that payment reflect back on Appointedd. To connect your Appointedd account to Square just go to payments under the integrations tab.
The Appointedd integration with Square POS allows UK businesses to manage your POS and your bookings all in one place. The integration includes:
Two-way customer sync;
Adding bookings to the till to take payment;
Reflecting Square POS payments on a booking in Appointedd.
⚙️ How to connect your Appointedd and Square accounts
To connect your Appointedd account to Square, go to the Connect tab and click Connect to a payment gateway, then select connect with Square.

⚒️ How to enable the point of sale functionality
Once you have connected with Square, you'll be given the option to turn on the POS functionality. To do so, click Enable Square Point of Sale functionality:
When you're on your tablet or mobile device, you'll be able to create a transaction in the Square POS from any booking in Appointedd.
To do so, simply click on any booking in the calendar then click create Square POS transaction:
If you have multiple customers on the booking, simply click the customers tab on the booking (in the screenshot above) and then click the three dots next to the person whose transaction you'd like to add to the till and click Create Square POS transaction.
This will take you to your till app to take payment from the customer.
❗️Please note that Square POS is only available on tablet and mobile devices.
It's not currently possible to create a Square POS transaction from a booking on your desktop device.
If the customer has already made part payment for this booking (e.g. 25% deposit), only the outstanding amount will be added to the till.
When you have taken payment for the booking via the till, you'll return to Appointedd to see that the customer's booking has been marked as paid:
As of 2nd of January 2023, any new connections to Square incur a 1% transaction fee for any online payments in GBP taken via Appointedd. These charges are be visible on the reports page on your Square POS dashboard as well as on individual transactions on your Square account.
