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.

    Overall, I love Acuity Scheduling, it's my right hand in this business I'm running by myself. It takes a huge load off of my plate.

    Once things are set up - which can be as easy or a grueling as you want to make it - it's just a seamless part of my life and business.

    Pros

    I love the customizability of the software, I can integrate it with many programs, and I can make things super simple for my clients.

    Cons

    I've had several times where I've had to go delete a whole series of appointments and there's no easy option to delete an entire section of appointments.
    For instance I had a series of webinars that were Group Appointments with several dates each. I decided to discontinue that program in lieu of a new direction and initiative for the company. I had to manually delete each one, typing DELETE each time. If I could delete an entire "category" of appointments, this would be much better.

    Calendly

    Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

    Acuity Scheduling was already available and easily integrated into my Squarespace website. This was good because I decided that I didn't want to create a website from scratch, rather I would use a "drag and drop" system with some customizability. It just so happened that Squarespace met my needs there, AND as a vital part of their services, they already had a scheduling application that I would receive a DISCOUNT on if I bought into their services. Squarespace, and of course Acuity Scheduling, were a "no-brainer" decision for me and my solo consulting business.

    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.

    Great Scheduling Option for Robust Scheduling Needs

    Reviewed on 30/10/2023

    Pros

    I like the customer support most, I was advised on the best way to set up the calendars and how everything worked. Can set up within a day or so. Can create a seamless, highly customized experience for your customers. It's worth exploring as a scheduling option.

    Cons

    Not entirely intuitive, had to do a few workarounds to set up multiple team members at multiple locations, but once it's set up its relatively smooth. Can be slightly challenging when you're onboarding admin team, it can seem a little intimidating.

    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.

    Overall positive

    Overall positive

    Pros

    Ease of use, ability to set schedules. Links are easy for clients to use and navigate.

    Cons

    I would like the ability to open xx amount of spots for different call types; for example, xx amount of calls per day for consults and also for regular calls, as they have different call durations. I also would like the ability to set different amount of calls available on specific days vs a blanket limit per day.
