Make Booking and Payment Easier

Link your existing Square account—or open a free Square account—to help clients schedule appointments and make payments easily and securely.

Not having a reliable management app can cost you bookings.

When booking is confusing—or payment is awkward—clients hesitate… or they go somewhere else.

  • Administrative confusion can cost sales
  • No deposits can lead to last-minute cancellations
  • Manual reminders waste staff time

A cleaner booking + payment flow protects your calendar and your artists’ time.

Why Integrate Square into the Tattoo Shop System?

Square is the best system for shops looking for simple, reliable scheduling and payments.

Once your Square link is added to your Tattoo Shop System, clients can book an appointment and complete a digital informed consent form all at the same time.

Why Use the Square Free?

There's no need to pay a monthly fee for a shop scheduling and payment system.

Square offers what we believe to be the best system for free. 

Here's what you get when you link you Tattoo Shop system account with a new or existing Square Free Plan:

  • A POS app for any payment
  • No monthly charges, only pay a processing fee when you take a payment
  • A scheduling system for your artists
  • An online website, if you don't have one already
  • An item library for menu items, products, and services; keep track of inventory and sales
  • A clear path from appointment scheduling to informed consent
  • Square technical support 
  • Checking and savings accounts
  • No contracts with Square. Cancel at any time.

Scheduling & Payments is Part 2 of the Tattoo Shop System

The Tattoo Shop System brings together three connected tools that help your studio stay organized, reduce paperwork, and create a smoother client experience.

1

Exposure Control & Infection Prevention Plan

Create a shop-specific ECIPP with Easy Wizard®.

2

Scheduling & Payments

Use Square to help clients schedule appointments and make payments.

3

Paperless Informed Consent Forms

Send clients a secure link to complete and sign informed consent forms.

Use Square to Connect Scheduling to Paperless Informed Consent Forms

Scheduling is only one part of the client workflow.

After an appointment is booked, the client is automatically sent a digital Informed Consent Form to collect the information, signatures, artist notes, procedure details, and images needed for a complete digital record.
