Booking solutions, 2 part question…

[ARaytheBarber]

Has anyone figured out a way to let SQUARE know that people are unlinking their cards on file to not be charged when skipping out on appointments… is there a way that a hold is made to capture funds to prevent this other than requiring upfront charging for every client?

is there a way to allow clients to book multiple, same services on the same appointment?? Like a father wanting to schedule his sons two faded haircuts

I see now on the updated booking people can select multiple services if your hours reflect enough time to do so. 

also they did take away the deposit thing I think they should put it back I didn’t have any issues with it, but you can go on individually put the deposit amount as the price…be sure to post somewhere they can read that they will still have a remaining balance due at time of service, no they don’t let you know. However I do nails, and I charge the full amount up front and created policies around having to cancel and rebook for a pre paid service

There needs to be a way to collect deposits at the time of booking. You can make clients put a card on file in the event of a no-show then charge them after the fact, but I haven’t had an issue with folks unlinking their card. 
I’ve started sending an ‘Invoice’ for appointment deposit but it’s a cumbersome process and a lot to keep track of manually. 
Other beauty -oriented booking platforms offer automated deposit requests at time of booking that is then credited to the clients profile. Gloss genius offers this even with their free service.

As for parents scheduling appointments for multiple kids, the only way I’ve found is to make a profile for each child and book them as 2 separate appointments. It’s a PIA. Again, beauty-oriented platforms make this much easier. Catch up Square!!!

Absolutely agree SPIRO_SPERO SPA

Also, I have an assistant and there’s no way to for me to book another client while my assistant is finishing up for me. 
I end up losing that time unless I manually book someone.

Square, please find a way around this
