Square Appointments: How do I set up scheduling for ONLY two specific days?

[HHP]

I do not want to use the scheduling booking feature for all appointments, only for a specific event I have for 2 days.  How do I ONLY show the schedule/calendar to clients for those 2 days?

Hello @HHP! 

What I recommend doing is creating a repeating personal event leading up your specific event. This will block off your calendar leading up to the event and then you can create another one to block the rest of the dates.  

That way only the two dates will be displayed.

I am a photographer and want to use Square Appointments to let clients book a 30 minute slot for their photo session on an announced  mini session event day. I need take advantage of the systems ability to require a payment at the time of booking as well as reminder notifications.  Possible?

@Keithmtx You can use Square Appointments for one event. I'm adding your post to this thread so you can read how to set that up - though it does involve a workaround.

You can also require prepayment for all Appointments, and you can choose to sent text and/or email reminders to your customers — to manage reminders, navigate to the Communications section of your Appointments Dashboard.

After your event you can either change the service settings so the service isn't available to book online anymore, or you could disable your online booking site until your next event.

i created a personal event leading up to the date i want to do the mini sessions on, but there is still the option to book after that date, looks like you can only input one personal event at a time with no interuptions... is that correct?

You are correct @marcophotoco at this time the Square Appointments calendar will only work based on your established availability so if your event ends before your availability ends your customers will be able to book appointments on those available slots.

I hope this information is helpful!
