Can Shopify and Acuity be used together for online booking?

Hi, danielle14.

Thanks for posting and Welcome to the Shopify Community.

I was excited to see your question as I just found out about Acuity a few weeks ago for my own business.

If you’re looking to add Acuity to your store, here are a few options:

  1. I did some digging and it looks like Acuity has their own tutorial to embed a booking button into a page on Shopify. You check out their tutorial here: Shopify - Acuity Scheduling. To learn how to add to your Pages in the Shopify Admin, check out our help doc here: Pages.
  2. You can use an app like BookedUp, which allows you to have Acuity added as a button anywhere on your store. This app is a third-party app developed by a third-party developer. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach out directly to the third-party provider by using the information under the “Support” section of the app’s page.

The only downside to these options is that you won’t be able to take payment directly on Shopify, as Acuity does not link directly to Shopify’s payment and uses their own payment provider. You’ll still be able to take payment on Acuity’s end, just not with Shopify.

I know that it’s important for you to have everything you need on one site, so I’d love to pass your question as feedback to our developers so that they are aware of how we can support you and all of our merchants to succeed. If we move forward with this, we will post an update in our changelog or announcements page. I’m open to hearing any other suggestions you have and can pass them along to our developer team for you.

I’m curious… what are you thinking of using Shopify POS for? Do you also want to sell products from your cafe?
