Booking & payments
Square Appointments
Free-to-start booking tied to the Square payments ecosystem, ideal for solos and small teams.
What it does
Square Appointments brings online booking to the widely used Square payments platform, so scheduling, checkout, and hardware live in one account. Solo operators can use it free, with paid tiers adding multi-staff scheduling, and it includes reminders, deposits and no-show protection, a booking site, client profiles, and retail. Its biggest strength is tight integration with Square's card processing, POS hardware, and broader small-business tools.
AI features
Square has been rolling out AI across its ecosystem, including automated messaging and reminders, review requests, and generative help for marketing content and item setup, but Square Appointments itself is more a solid booking-plus-payments tool than a dedicated AI receptionist.
Pricing
Free for a single location, paid plans from about $29/mo per location, plus processing
Pricing signals are indicative and change often. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.
How Sheen fits
Square Appointments solves one part of the picture. Sheen builds and runs the whole digital operation (website, online booking, reminders, review replies, marketing) as one system, and stays booking-system-agnostic, so you are not stitching a dozen vendors together yourself.
