Square + Planification Lawyers & Law Firms
Law firms manage billable hours, court dates, client consultations, and document deadlines that all compete for calendar space. Your integrations keep client-facing availability separate from internal obligations, automate conflict checks for new matter intake, and ensure retainer-based clients can self-schedule within their agreed hours.
Professional services firms—consultants, advisors, law offices, accounting practices—lose significant revenue to unqualified prospects and no-show meetings. The payment integration solves this by creating a financial commitment at booking time, filtering out unserious inquiries and protecting your billable calendar.
Structure your payment requirements by meeting type: discovery calls might remain free to attract leads, while strategy sessions, legal consultations, and financial reviews collect a consultation fee that compensates the professional for their preparation and expertise. Prospects who pay for a meeting are dramatically more likely to attend and more likely to convert to ongoing clients.
For engagement-starting meetings, collect retainer deposits that signal client commitment and fund the initial work. Different service lines can have independent pricing—a 30-minute tax question at $75 versus a 90-minute estate planning session at $350. The professional checkout experience also signals credibility; clients who encounter a polished payment flow associate your firm with the premium service they expect.
For lawyers & law firms professionals specifically, SchedulingKit's Square integration addresses a common pain point: the disconnect between booking and payments workflows. Rather than toggling between tools, your lawyers & law firms team gets a unified experience where every appointment automatically flows into Square—saving time you can reinvest in serving clients.
Law firm billing involves trust account deposits, operating account consultation fees, and retainer prepayments—each with bar-mandated segregation requirements. The payment integration handles per-meeting-type payment routing while maintaining clear documentation for compliance purposes.

Questions fréquentes
Can retainer deposits be collected at the time of consultation booking?
Yes. Configure your consultation event type to collect the retainer deposit at booking. The payment is processed through your connected payment provider and can be credited toward the initial engagement if the client proceeds.
Can trust account deposits be separated from operating account consultation fees?
While payment processor routing is configured outside SchedulingKit, you can create separate event types for trust-account and operating-account payments. This provides clear documentation for bar-compliant financial segregation.
Can I offer free discovery calls alongside paid consultations?
Yes. Create a "Free Discovery Call" event type with no payment requirement and a "Paid Consultation" type with your hourly or flat-rate fee. Prospects book the free call first; those who want to proceed book the paid engagement.
Can I charge different rates for different service types?
Yes. Each event type has independent pricing. A 30-minute tax question might be $75, while a 90-minute estate planning session could be $350. You set the rate, and clients see and pay the amount when they book.
How do retainer deposits work?
Configure a deposit amount or percentage for engagement-starting event types. When a client books a "Strategy Session" or "Engagement Kickoff," the retainer deposit is collected at booking. The deposit appears as a line item on the payment receipt.
What if a client disputes a payment?
Payment disputes (chargebacks) are handled by your payment processor's standard dispute process. SchedulingKit provides booking confirmation details, timestamps, and cancellation records that you can submit as evidence during the dispute resolution.
Can I use Square hardware for in-person payments alongside online booking payments?
Yes. Square's ecosystem connects online payments from SchedulingKit bookings with in-person payments through Square Terminal, Square Reader, or Square Register. All transactions appear in your Square Dashboard, giving you unified reporting across both channels.
Does Square offer business management features beyond payments?
Yes. Square includes invoicing, inventory tracking, team management, customer directory, and sales analytics at no additional monthly cost. When combined with SchedulingKit, you get a complete booking-to-payment-to-reporting workflow from a single payment provider.
What lawyers & law firms-specific configuration should I set up in Square?
Collect retainer deposits at booking that credit toward the total engagement fee, with automatic trust-account compliance for jurisdictions that require segregated client funds. This is the most impactful setting for lawyers & law firms professionals—configure it during initial setup and revisit it quarterly as your lawyers & law firms workflow evolves.
Will the Square integration scale as my lawyers & law firms business grows?
Yes. The Square integration handles increasing booking volume without any configuration changes. Whether you're running a solo lawyers & law firms practice or managing a multi-location team, the integration scales with your SchedulingKit plan. There are no per-booking limits on the Square connection—growth in your lawyers & law firms business means growth in integration value, not additional integration cost.
Is the Square integration included in my SchedulingKit plan?
Yes. The Square integration is available on all SchedulingKit plans, including the free tier. You may have separate costs from Square itself depending on your usage level and the features you need from their platform.
