About Square Appointments

Square Appointments sells an online booking site, staff calendars, reminders, deposits and checkout on Square's own payment processing. The pricing page lists the monthly fee per location and the processing rate for each plan.

Its med spa page describes waivers, room and equipment assignment and pay-over-time through Afterpay, and quotes LaserAway as a customer. The same page says Square's payments are HIPAA-compatible, and the user agreement links a Business Associate Agreement.

Who it is for

A med spa that wants booking and card processing from one company, keeps its clinical records in a separate EHR, and wants to start without a monthly fee.
