I was told when booking a service online, people can't pay for that. They would have to pay in person. But Items are payable online. Is there any way to set up an item, and once purchased, have someone book time on our appointments?
With customer prepayment, you can easily manage your cash flow by requiring that customers prepay for fixed-priced services when they book online. The fee for accepting prepayments is 2.9% + $0.30 and any payments accepted this way will be transferred according to your transfer schedule. Customer prepayment can be enabled from your online Square Dashboard and the Square Appointments iPhone and iPad App, or on your Square Register.
