Switching from Square Appointments

Built for retail, not for stylists

Square is a great payment system, but Square Appointments is a generic scheduling tool — not built for the specific needs of beauty professionals. No portfolio, no branded profiles, no stylist-first features.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export my appointment history from Square?

Yes. Square allows CSV export of appointment history, which is more than most competitors offer. Your client data transfers cleanly to THROWNE.

Square processing fees are lower. Why switch?

Square's 2.6% + $0.10 is slightly lower than Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30. But THROWNE gives you a branded booking page, portfolio, product storefront, and stylist-specific tools that Square lacks. The feature gap matters more than 0.3% on processing.

Will I lose my clients if I switch?

No. You export your client list from your current app, import it into THROWNE, and send a quick announcement text to let them know your new booking link. Most stylists complete the switch in under a day.

Can I run both apps during the transition?

Yes. Keep your old app for existing booked appointments. Send new clients to THROWNE. Within 2-4 weeks, all your clients will have naturally migrated.

What if I have upcoming appointments on my old app?

Honor them there. New bookings go through THROWNE. As old appointments complete, your schedule naturally transitions. No lost revenue.

Is THROWNE really free?

The Starter plan is always free — up to 5 services, 25 clients, 25 bookings/month. No trial, no credit card. Pro is $24/month for unlimited everything, or $199/year (save $89).
