Any way to change service availability?

[BeautyJustice]

In our Salon, we have a secondary section that is permanent makeup. We wanted to change the availability for scheduling these appointments to be only on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Each of these days would have their own time constraints as well, but I have no idea how to implement this into the booking side of things for the specified services.

Any idea how I can make this a thing without the use of the new team member work around? If not, it feels like a huge issue that should be addressed.

Thanks for posting, @BeautyJustice 👋

I'm going to tag some Super Sellers that are more familiar with using Square Appointments in real time. I'm hoping someone will have some feedback in regard to your availability question.

Hi, all! I'm once again asking for a favor from you wonderful people! Does anyone have a suggestion for our new Seller Community member? 

Thanks in advance!

@BeautyJustice Hey there! After playing around with a few settings here is my work around for your question! 

1. Create a New Location under your account settings. 

   From your dashboard... Go to Settings > Account & Settings > Business Information > Locations > Create a New Location I would name this something on the line of "Permanent Makeup Room" From here you can set the hours and days you want to use these services. 

2. Go to your appointments 

   Once on your appointments page... go to Services > Create Service > "Here is where it gets tricky, you would need to create a service in my option as either TIME SLOTS or ACTUAL SERVICES" for instance 45 min session or Eye Lash Extensions. The important part here is to make sure that you select a RESOURCE when creating your service, YOU WOULD CHOOSE THE NEW LOCATION YOU DID IN STEP 1 

3. Test the work around. 

   Go to your appointments page, from there select the NEW Location at the top of the page. You should then be able to book from there. 

I hope this helps! If so please make sure to mark this post as Best Answer! Again this is just how I would do this!

You are a rockstar, @JJSMEATSHAK1! 🤩

I really appreciate you chiming in here! ❤️

No worries! I will talk to the Community managers and have your name removed from the Appointments section. 😊

This is helpful. Do you need to pay an additional location fee for every one that requires a different schedule as you described?  This seems like it could get out of hand.

So sorry, I don't use Square appts.

Question about the answer for the workaround for specific resources and schedule for appointments: if you create another location you would have to pay another location fee for it?
