Square Appointments and CustoDesk, side by side
What each one covers for appointment businesses. Square Appointments's side is from its own pages, checked September 25, 2026.
What comes with you
Move one thing at a time. Nothing here asks you to switch the whole business in a day.
Square's customer directory exports as a spreadsheet. Import it into Contacts and match its columns to profile fields. You can undo an import for 7 days if something looks wrong.
Square exports your appointment history as a spreadsheet for your records. New bookings start in CustoDesk once your services are set up.
Tell us where it is and we rebuild it on a CustoDesk theme, with your words and photos, on your own domain.
When Square Appointments is the better fit
A move only makes sense if CustoDesk does the part you rely on most. These are the cases where it may not.
- You ring up retail on Square hardware and want services and products in one checkout. CustoDesk has no card reader.
- The free plan covers everything you need today.
- You run the rest of the business on Square, like its point of sale and banking.
Moving from Square Appointments
Can I bring my customers from Square?
Yes. Square exports your customer directory as a spreadsheet, and CustoDesk's contact import matches its columns to profile fields. You can undo an import for 7 days if something looks wrong.
Do I have to move everything at once?
No. Turn on one app and keep the rest where it is until you are ready. Apps switch on and off one at a time, so there is no big day.
Can clients pay a deposit when they book?
Yes. A service can take nothing, a deposit or the full price at booking, through your own Stripe account.
Does CustoDesk have a card reader?
No. You can record a payment taken on another terminal, but CustoDesk does not sell or run card readers.
Do I pay per staff member?
No. There is no charge per person on any app. Every staff calendar is included.
