Your first 5 minutes: the setup checklist

Five steps to set Stippa up and be ready for your first bookings.

2 min read

Welcome to Stippa

With Stippa your customers book their own appointments through your personal booking link. Five steps and you are ready.

Step 1: Fill in your business profile

Go to Settings and fill in your business name, contact details and time zone. Your time zone decides the times customers can book, so it matters more than it looks.

Step 2: Create a service

Services > New service

Go to Services and click New service. Fill in:

  • The name of the service ("Haircut", or "30-minute consultation")
  • How long it takes, in minutes
  • The price, if you want one
  • Whether customers have to pay up front

Save the service.

Step 3: Set your availability

Availability: on or off per day, with hours

Go to Availability and say which days and hours you work. You set a start and an end time for each day separately.

Customers can only book at times you have made available.

Step 4: Share your booking link

Booking widget > Copy link

Go to Settings and copy your booking link. Share it on your website, in your Instagram bio, over WhatsApp or in your email signature.

You can also embed the widget in your website. The embed code is on the same page.

Step 5: Make a test booking

Open your booking link in a new tab (or a private window) and make a test appointment. Check that you get a confirmation email and that the appointment appears in your calendar.

Done? Then you are ready for your first real bookings.
