Synching Your Client List
When using multiple applications, it’s important that your customer base is up to date in each platform. It’s important to keep one central customer base that is up to date, and shared throughout all your applications. Every time a new client is added, they are also added as a new client to Square. However, it is recommended to do a first sync up between Booxi and Square, to start with the full and up to date list on both sides.
Follow these steps to do it :
In your Booxi account, click on the Clients tab
Click on the Option icon, and then on the option "Sync with Square CRM".
Then click on the green button Sync to synchronize your two CRM. You're done.
How to Accept Online Payment Using Square
After you have enabled the Square module in your Booxi account, you can also start accepting online payment at booking for selected services. You simply need to configure your individual services to request an online payment in part or in full to complete the booking.
Your Clients Can Easily Pay Online
When your clients create an online booking, they will be informed that a payment is required just before the confirmation. Once they have confirmed their booking, they will be requested to pay online using any major credit cards through the secured Square online payment system, within the Booxi booking process.
You can also set up Booxi to request the payment by email, giving your client more time to complete the payment after booking. Booxi will simply send a payment request email to the client with a Pay button to capture the payment online.
Track Client Payments per Booking
You will be able to see the current payment status and the balance for each appointment and group reservation. Each booking will show you if a payment has been requested and completed.
