How do I set up my studio on first login?
A checklist guide walks you through each step: studio, hours, payments, social, service. Each step opens in its own panel.
Updated on July 3, 2026
On your first login, a setup guide appears on your dashboard with a checklist of steps to complete: your studio, your hours, your payments, your social accounts, your first service. You click a step, a panel opens, you fill it in and confirm, and the step is marked complete.
How the guide works
The most urgent step to complete opens automatically first. A progress bar at the top of the guide moves forward with each validated step. Until the required setup is finished, the rest of the dashboard (calendar, clients...) stays locked: the guide always brings you back to the current step if you try to access it directly.
Steps to complete
- My studio: address (with automatic lookup by business registration number to prefill details), legal information, public studio profile (photos, bio, styles), and artist profile.
- My hours (or team, on Business): your weekly schedule.
- Payments: connecting Stripe to take card payments (you can skip it and continue without, but some payment methods will then stay unavailable), then selecting your payment methods.
- Instagram: connecting your account to sync some content. You can skip it and connect later from settings.
- Google My Business: depending on your setup, connecting your Google listing. This step can also be skipped.
- Service: creating your first service or flash.
- Publishing: posting your first content.
Resuming a step in progress
If you leave the guide before finishing everything, it picks up exactly where you left off on your next login, including sub-steps for the studio panel. No data already entered is lost.
Once every step is complete
A celebration screen appears with a button to access your dashboard. After that, a carousel of optional tasks may show up (completing your profile, sharing your booking link...): these tasks don't block anything, they simply help you get the most out of your account.
Edge cases
You skipped a step by mistake. Instagram and Google My Business stay accessible afterward from settings, without going back through the guide.
You don't want online payments. You can explicitly decline online payments from the Payments step; it will then be marked complete with the corresponding note.
The studio form looks empty after a refresh. Your legal information already entered is automatically reloaded, refresh the page if the display looks inconsistent.
What's next
Once your studio is set up, head to defining your hours if that's not already done.
