Embed the Appointments Booking Widget on your Website

[Kpay]

You can embed a Square Appointments booking widget or button on your existing website, making it easy for your clients to find your availability and book an appointment.

We know the embed process can be confusing, so we put together a how-to guide for some common website builders - Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, and Wordpress. Keep in mind that our community admins and support team can’t help troubleshoot non-Square products, since we’re not the experts! If you’re having any trouble with your website management system, you’ll have to reach out to them directly, or ask fellow sellers here in the community.

How do I customize css for the embed to match my site's styling?

[EJ_]

Great question @luxbarber 

You're able to change the button colors, but full customization would be a feature request. This specific feature request isn't something that's on our road map at the moment, but I'll let the right teams know that it's something you'd like to see available in the future 👍🏼

[Antbalf]

This is pretty crucial for me, and I would imagine for others. This needs to become a priority on your road map! The solution of going to a new page/tab on Square to do the actual booking is a disconnect for users, and the business-specific branding is poor. You really need to provide two things:

1) The ability to truly and easily embed the widget on sites using WordPress. You need to make a WP plug-in that provides short codes so we can place the widget on our own site. And within that, much more control over font sizes, colors, overall size and layout. I can force it to embed on my WP site through code tinkering, but the widget's display area is way too large for my pages, and the styling is totalyl different.

2) Until then, if we have to bounce out to Square, MUCH better control over the appearance of the booking page/widget, even if it's on Square - better branding, and ability to adjust font sizes, colors, overall size and layout. Maybe even allow linking to a CSS file on our site so we can tinker.

BookFresh had this down much better, so I'm surprised you don't just follow their lead since you own BF now. We like Square's integration with payment and other features, so we'll probably live with the functionality as-is for now, but it leaves a lot to be desired, especially compared with competitors.

@Antbalf! I'm sorry that the current widget hasn't met your expectations but I really appreciate your detailed feedback. I''ll share it with the Appointments Product team. I don't have a timeline on when we'll be able to offer additional customization, but the Appointments team is actively tracking this. If we have any updates in future we'll update this thread. 👍

[carrotflower]

@Helen - any updates on this? Hoping to be able to drop the appointments feature into my Squarespace site -- but want to make sure I can match the design / styling of the rest of my site.

[eCommpower]

I think the Square Widget is not the most comfortable for the scheduling system.

Firstly because I can't adapt it to the sizes of my website or the colors so that it doesn't break the corporate image of the business.

Second, the fact that the product list is fully displayed and not grouped by category makes the widget too long.

Thirdly it should be more compact, from the same screen choose service and staff. then calendar. then the customer data, giving the option to make the agenda without registration and leave the possibility to do it if you like. and payment.

In addition to each section allow you to place the necessary legends, such as telling the customer that you are booking a service and the total cost is x but you must cancel 50% to make the reservation.

This way it is much easier for the client to schedule with comfort.

It is also important to add custom fields in the customer data collection area.

Name
Last name
Phone
Email
Date of birth
Notes

among other fields you may need.

Giving an example if you are allergic to any medication for saying something.

How exactly can you change the button colours? 

Also when I try to embed these appointments into my website ... the page simply skips my page all together and links directly to square appointment. No headers, nothing. 

I am using PageCloud.

Cheers,

James

"You're able to change the button colors"
How can I change the button colors? I either can't find the documentation, or the documentation I'm looking at is inadequate. I'm embedding in a WordPress site, and the only instructions are to copy and paste a code snippet into a new block. There's nothing in that documentation about how to customize the css this block uses, or where to include css this block uses.

Any help will be appreciated!

The embed widget is only displaying a very very small portion of the menu on desktop. How does this get expanded? Thank you!

[laowaichris]

Hi hydrabot, did you ever fix this problem? I'm in the same boat too and wondering what to do. 

[Woodland]

I just want to know how to make it show my calendar rather than my items???

[Kassi_]

Welcome to the Community, @Woodland - 

Are you wishing your services would show on your Calendar instead of listing under your Service Library? 

I wanted to get more information on what you're looking for. 

[Woodland]

No I want the embed code to show my calendar on my website.

[Zody]

Add this into your widget code, it allows you resize and place a border (optional) most importantly resizing gets rid of that annoying scroll bar.

<div style="height:500px; widget:600px; border: 1px solid black;">

[GroveandBaker]

Hey Zody, where exactly in the iframe embedded code does this line get placed?

Thanks in advance!

[InspiredLifeCoa]

This isn't working on WordPress.com - it's stripping the javascript code.

[Helen]

Thanks for flagging @InspiredLifeCoa and I'm so sorry for the late reply! 

If you're still experiencing this issue go ahead and contact our Support team directly so we can take a closer look. It might also be helpful to reach out to WordPress about this (if you haven't already) to see if the issue might be on their side. 

[buckndbeard]

[buckndbeard]
