Acuity Scheduling: How to Start Your Trial and What to Know

To upgrade to a paid plan:

If you don't subscribe after the trial:
- Your settings and information will be saved

Managing your trial:

- Remove available hours to prevent new bookings
- You may be able to reactivate an expired trial
- Starting a new trial is possible, but previous settings won't transfer
For standalone Acuity use, you can delete your trial following the subscription deletion process. If integrated with Squarespace, Acuity cannot be deleted separately from your website.
