About Acuity Scheduling

Join the thousands of businesses who have booked millions of appointments already through Squarespace Scheduling! Easily offer appointment booking directly through your website with Squarespace online appointment scheduling software. Clients worldwide or local can schedule their appointments online, complete custom forms, and pay with a credit card, online 24/7. Whether your schedule is regular or irregular, you can manage any availability easily.

Squarespace acts like a superhero for your schedule (with way better taste in capes). Squarespace saves the day for business owners, freelancers, consultants, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs, so they can get back in control of their businesses, their time, and their calendars—without breaking a sweat.

With automated appointment scheduling, Squarespace's superpowers relieve you of the back-and-forth email grunt-work, and lets your clients see your real-time availability, pick the date and time that works best for them, pay in advance (in-full, via deposit, or not until time of service), and book themselves.

A responsive scheduling page means that clients can book appointments from their desktop, tablet, or phone. You can also manage appointments directly from your own desktop, tablet, or phone.

With customizeable everything, Squarespace makes sure it’s not just another tool you have to deal with, manage, or remember to use. Squarespace works seamlessly in the background of your business, helping you look professional and get results. You can be as picky or nonchalant as you want with the level of flexibility your business needs. Have different offices that operate on different schedules? Got you covered. Want different staff members to have different calendars? No problem. Need everything to match, almost as if you built the software yourself? You got it! (After all, everyone knows that a true superhero doesn’t take the credit.)

Whether you’re booking hourly appointments, doing phone consultations, selling classes that students need to sign up for, or anything else that involves you selling your time, don’t put yourself at the mercy of hundreds of clients constantly badgering your inbox or your telephone.

Squarespace even helps you eliminate no-show appointments with automatic text message and e-mail reminders to clients.

Let Squarespace handle the busywork for you — so you can focus on your business.

    Checks all my boxes

    Reviewed on 21/10/2019

    I’m managing my time for multiple groups of needs and Acuity is allowing me to do that all in one...

    I’m managing my time for multiple groups of needs and Acuity is allowing me to do that all in one place. I can manage my personal needs, my life coaching needs, and my nonprofit needs all in one place and still keep my hair (because I haven’t pulled it out trying to keep myself afloat). I look forward to continuing to use the software as it has room for me to expand and handle other needs that I foresee in the future. For me, Acuity is a great one stop shop to manage and connect people to the services provide.

    Pros

    I switched from Calendly because I was having people make appointments at the last minute and back to back. I really appreciate that Acuity has functionality to account for my preferences in both situations.

    I really enjoy the ability to personalize my different scheduling links since I set up scheduling for a few different scenarios. I tend to use the specific appointment type scheduling link, which is great to have separated from the overall link so that there is no confusion in booking.

    There is so much other functionality that I haven’t had a chance to use yet link the intake forms and billing, but I’m looking forward to using it.

    Also, I really enjoy the emails and correspondence that I’ve had with organization. I haven’t even submitted a help ticket, but every email is funny and engaging and it feels like someone is personally attending to me!

    Cons

    I had a little bit of confusion with the set up of my calendars. It took some searching to figure out how to combine all my appointments to one calendar. All in all I figured it out and still love my account.

    Reasons for Choosing Acuity Scheduling

    The ability to add buffer time between meetings and to disable the ability for a last minute meeting to be scheduled overnight without giving me time to prepare for it.

    Calendly

    Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

    The ability to add buffer time between meetings and to disable the ability for a last minute meeting to be scheduled overnight without giving me time to prepare for it. In addition, I use Squarespace as well. I love that product and wanted to maintain fluidity between both products. Both are made well and make my life simple so I can do what is most important to me rather than spending all my time on designing a website or figuring out scheduling.

    Easy scheduling, integrates calendars and online meetings

    Reviewed on 17/07/2022

    Features like package and discount management, an embeddable design, and support for several time zones are only the beginning. When compared to the prior scheduling program we utilized, this one has far less issues. It's so simple, yet so effective. Client calendars are synced and alerts are sent out automatically. Zoom's user interface makes setting up online meetings a breeze.

    Pros

    Easily its most appealing quality is how simple it is to use. You may go right in with no prior knowledge of CRM or CS and you'll pick this stuff up quickly. I was finally able to find a convenient way to organize my time, communicate with my clients, and keep track of all of our scheduled meetings. The search function responds quickly and accurately and ignores case. Accessing customer information is simple, and I can keep tabs on scheduling alterations and other variables with ease. The survey design was also straightforward. I like how it adapts to your time zone automatically.

    Cons

    Crunchy user interface. It's not user-friendly, and the drop-down selections don't always appear. Banning user-submitted content is inconvenient since you can't just blacklist any new content that users could submit. I fear that, as an administrator, I would encounter several difficulties when first delving into the matter. When integrations fail, it really stinks. Not terrible overall.

    Loved it, but Acuity is not with the times and the technology wasn't modern enough to continue to trust it and use it for our business.

    Pros

    I like how the admin has great control over the backend and has full use and capability. I also like the ability to brand everything.

    Cons

    It doesn't natively integrate with third-party calendars. We had to switch to Calendly solely because of this reason.

    Alternatives Considered

    Calendly

    Reasons for Choosing Acuity Scheduling

    At the time, I wasn't in charge of the switch from Calendly so I'm unsure. I just know that at that time Acuity fit our company better than Calendly, but now we've switched back to Calendly.

    Switched From

    Calendly

    Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

    Unsure because I wasn't a decision-maker at the time. I believe it was because the admin features on the backend were far more developed than Calendly and admins had the complete control necessary.
