Call for beta testers! The Setmore-Square integration has moved from alpha to beta, and we need a crew of intrepid Setmore users to help us test it out. Also \u2013 you can now let customers book appointments from Instagram, and automatically push payment data from Setmore to Xero. Continue reading for more info!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help us beta test the Square integration<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

Our upcoming Square integration is nearing completion, but we need more beta testers to help us out. The more transactions we can successfully complete in Setmore, the closer we\u2019ll be to an official launch. Oh and have we mentioned? Once the Setmore-Square integration is launched, <\/span>it\u2019ll be free to use for all Setmore users!*<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post a comment below to request beta access to the Setmore-Square integration.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll add candidates to the beta list and reach out personally with additional instructions. Note that the beta includes taking payments both from the Setmore platform via browser on any laptop or desktop, AND taking payments from the Setmore mobile app on your iPhone or Android device. <\/span>We need testers on both our browser and mobile platforms.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a beta test, but rest assured your payments will be safe and secure. Square handles the payment side of things, we\u2019re primarily just testing specific interface enhancements that will make it possible to take payments in Setmore.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Note:<\/i><\/b> Square equipment and transaction fees still apply. Square beta testers must be in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Appointments from Instagram<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can now add a \u201cBook\u201d button to your Instagram business profile! This will give your customers and followers the ability to book appointments to your Setmore calendar through Instagram, without having to exit Instagram or tab into another app. Please note, this integration only works for Instagram business profiles, and not personal profiles. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xero is beautifully designed accounting software for small businesses, and now you can integrate it with your Setmore calendar to help automate your accounting practices! With this integration, Setmore will automatically push any payment data you\u2019ve logged into your Setmore calendar to your Xero account, saving you the time and hassle of having to manually log these transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get step-by-step setup instructions for how to activate the Setmore-Xero integration. <\/span>Read the Setmore-Xero support article ><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This integration works great when paired with one of our payment integrations, such as with Stripe Payments<\/a> (requires Setmore Pro), or Square (in beta testing \u2013 usable with the free version of Setmore). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
