Square simplifies point-of-sale transactions and payment management for your business. By combining Square with Setmore, you can book customer appointments and take payments online and in-person.

Not only that, your Booking Page displays options to prepay using Apple Pay and/or Google Pay (G Pay), giving customers extra flexibility.
