A Square Appointments alternative for consent forms

Square Appointments is built for booking and getting paid across many kinds of business. Its forms, called Square Contracts, are general-purpose agreements such as intake forms and cancellation policies. Wavrr starts from body art consent.

• Tattoo, piercing, and PMU consent templates you can edit
• Health and medical questions on the form
• Minimum age and guardian signature settings
• Optional photo ID attached to the waiver
• Automatic signed PDF and client confirmation email

If Square Free covers your booking and payments, adding Wavrr can cost less than moving to Square Plus just to send forms automatically. If you already pay for Plus or Premium for other reasons, compare what its forms cover against what your consent process needs.

• Free plan with three consent forms to try the full product
• Artist plan at $14.50/mo with unlimited consent forms
• Studio plan at $39.50/mo for multi-artist studios
• No per-waiver fees on paid plans
• Change or cancel your plan at any time

Wavrr does not take bookings or payments. Send the Wavrr consent link to clients before the appointment, or put a QR code at the front desk and let them sign on arrival.

• Works next to Square Appointments on any plan
• Signing by link, QR code, or on your own phone or tablet
• One consent history per client
• Ink registration and ink passports per session
• iOS and Android apps for signing in the studio

Square's help centre describes Square Contracts as digital forms you can attach to appointments, with examples such as intake forms and cancellation policy agreements. You can start from a template or build your own, and see signature status on the appointment.

That can work for a tattoo studio, but you write the consent text, health questions, and age rules yourself. Wavrr starts from tattoo, piercing, and PMU templates, asks for a guardian signature below the age you set, and can attach a photo of the client's ID to the signed record. Check Square Appointments's current feature list for anything that has changed.

On Square's published pricing at the time of writing (October 2026), the Free plan has no monthly fee, Plus is $49/mo per location, and Premium is $149/mo per location. Card processing fees apply on every plan and fall slightly on the higher tiers. Square's help centre lists automatically sent forms for Plus and Premium subscribers.

If you only want consent forms, compare the jump from Square Free to Plus with Wavrr Artist ($14.50/mo) or Wavrr Studio ($39.50/mo). If you want Square's other Plus features as well, such as no-show fees and more advanced booking tools, the upgrade may be good value on its own. Prices change, so check Square's pricing page before deciding.

When someone asks to see a client's consent, you need to find it quickly and show what was signed, when, and by whom. Wavrr keeps every signed PDF in the client's history and lets you export waivers and ink passports in bulk.

Wavrr stores client records, signed waivers, and ID photos inside the European Union. Square does not say on its appointments pages where form data is stored, so ask Square directly if that matters to you or your clients.

Book a test appointment, then sign the consent form on a phone the way a client would. Look at the signed PDF, check how a minor and a guardian are handled, and see how long it takes to find an old record.

Wavrr's free plan lets you run three real consent forms through it, next to your existing Square setup, before you pay anything.
