The settings screen with grouped rows

Profile

Your business name, handle, categories, up to three specialisms, location, contact details and social links. Anything here that appears on your website updates in both places at once.

Settings rows with pencil edit buttons
Tap the pencil on any row to edit it, then save.

Policies and FAQs

Deposit, cancellation and lateness policies, plus the questions clients always ask. They show in read mode with a pencil to edit, and appear on your booking site and in confirmation emails.

Notifications and add-ons

  • Email confirmations and reminders are included in your plan.
  • SMS reminders are an add-on at 2 per month on top of your subscription.
  • WhatsApp reminders are an add-on at 3 per month.

Team

Invite staff by email, choose what they can see, and assign them to services so clients can pick who they book. An email that already owns a business cannot be reused for a staff invite, so invite team members on a fresh address.

Security and billing

Change your password, review privacy and terms, manage your card and subscription, and close your account if you ever need to.
