Set up your shop

This page is the shortest route from a new account to a shop that can take a real booking, in the order the steps have to happen.

Signing up creates two things at once: the shop itself, and your account as its first administrator. That account belongs to that shop only. If you later open a second shop, it gets its own account with its own sign-in, and one shop cannot see the other.

1. Open the pricing page and choose a plan. Free covers one staff member, fifty bookings a month, twenty products and one location; Studio removes those limits.
2. Select Create your shop and complete the signup form with your business name, your email and a password.
3. Confirm the email that arrives, then sign in. You land on the Dashboard.
4. Open Settings in the left navigation and fill in General first — business name, currency, time zone. Everything that shows a price or a time reads from these.
5. Add what you sell. For appointment work, go to Bookings then Services. For retail, go to Products.
6. Add your team under Bookings then Staff, and give each person the hours they actually work.
7. Connect a payment provider in Settings, then Payment, so a booking or an order can be paid for.
8. Open Bookings then Booking Config and check the hours your shop accepts bookings. A service with no staff hours behind it shows no available slots.

If you sell in more than one language, the storefront can serve both from the same catalogue — the language is a property of the shop, not a second shop. Set it once the catalogue exists, because translating names before the products are right means translating them twice.

If a step fails, the reason is almost always the step before it: no staff hours means no slots, no payment provider means no way to pay, no currency means no price can be shown. Work backwards one screen at a time rather than re-entering data.
