Install & first-time setup
Installing takes one click from the Shopify App Store, and the app opens right inside your Shopify admin. Here’s what you’re looking at, and the three steps between you and your first booking.
Your dashboard
The app opens on the Calendar page, your home base. From top to bottom:
- The status card: the master switch for the booking widget, plus the Manual booking button for phone and walk-in customers. Its pill shows the widget’s real state: green Enabled means customers can book on your storefront, amber Hidden in theme means the app embed is switched off in your theme (the card links straight to the one-click fix), and grey Disabled means you turned the master switch off.
- Analytics: revenue, bookings, views, and conversion, with selectable time ranges and CSV export.
- The calendar: every booking across services and staff, in month, week, or day view.
Three steps to your first booking
- Create a service: what customers book: price, duration, staff, and schedule. Saving it automatically creates a matching product in your store.
- Turn the widget on in your theme: one app-embed toggle in the theme editor. Your service’s product page swaps “Add to cart” for “Book now”.
- Make a test booking: open the service’s product page on your storefront, pick a slot, and book it. It appears on your dashboard calendar and sends a confirmation email.
Testing payments? On a development store,
use Shopify’s Bogus Gateway to pay for a test booking with the card number
1. On a live store, you can create a free service to test
without money moving.Worth doing early
- Connect your calendar so bookings land where you already look, and busy time blocks your slots.
- Set your hours, breaks, and closed dates so only real availability is offered.
- Skim the email templates. They work out of the box, but your logo and wording make them yours.
