Start Your Free Acuity Scheduling Trial: A Step-by-Step Guide
Start a free 7-day trial of Acuity Scheduling's Emerging plan to test all features except customized automated notifications. If you have a Squarespace website, you'll get a 14-day trial and must choose between using Acuity independently or integrating it with your site.
To begin your trial:
- Visit acuityscheduling.com and click "Try Scheduling"
- Sign in with Google, Apple, or email
- Choose whether to use Acuity alone or with Squarespace (if applicable)
- Complete the registration process
During your trial:
- Access all core scheduling features
- Process payments by integrating a payment processor
- Set up your business settings and availability
- Book appointments with clients
After the trial:
- Your settings and information remain saved
- Clients cannot book appointments until you upgrade
- Choose from monthly or annual paid plans to continue service
To upgrade to a paid plan:
- Click the upgrade invitation in Acuity
- Select payment frequency (monthly/annual)
- Choose your preferred plan
- Enter payment details
- Confirm payment
Important notes:
- Trials cannot be canceled but automatically end after the trial period
- Remove available hours to prevent new bookings if you decide not to continue
- You may be eligible to reactivate an expired trial
- Starting a new trial later will not transfer previous settings
If using Acuity with Squarespace, removing the Appointment Booking block from your site prevents visitors from accessing your booking page. The Acuity shortcut in your Squarespace dashboard disappears 30 days after trial expiration.
