Tips

  • The menu on the left is grouped the way you work: Run the day (Today, Calendar, Bookings), Sell (Experiences), Grow (Reports) and Set up (Settings). Dashboard sits above them all.
  • Experiences holds what you sell and when: each experience has its prices, photo, repeating times and booking button. The old Services and Sessions pages open there, and you can still find them by typing services or sessions in the search box.
  • Share all, at the top of Experiences, holds your booking page link, QR code, Book now button and booking widget.
  • On a phone, the menu runs across the top of the screen. Swipe it sideways to see every page. The search box is on computers only.
  • During the tour you can also use the arrow keys to move between steps, and Esc to close it.
  • Read your dashboard: See your last 30 days of bookings and revenue, the week ahead, today's sessions, anything that needs you, and what is left to set up.
  • Run your day from Today: check guests in: See every session running today, open the next one's guest list, check parties in as they arrive, and find any guest fast.
  • Find a booking: Search your bookings by reference, guest name, email or phone, narrow them by date or status, and open the one you need.
  • Share your booking page: link, QR code and FAQ: Copy your booking page address, show its QR code, and add the questions and answers guests see before they book.
