User Manual
User Manual
Section titled “User Manual”This guide covers two roles: customers using a business’s public booking page, and business owners and team members signed in to the dashboard.
Part A — Booking as a customer (public page)
Section titled “Part A — Booking as a customer (public page)”Customers do not create a BOOKIN login. You book through the link, QR code, or embedded widget the business shares.
The flow
Section titled “The flow”- Open the business’s booking page — usually its own address, like
your-business.bookin.biz, or a custom domain of its own. - Service — pick what you want to book.
- Date & Time — choose from the available slots.
- Your Info — name and contact details.
- Verify Email — enter the six-digit code sent to your inbox. It expires after 10 minutes.
- Confirm — review and submit.
Some businesses add extra questions of their own just before the final step.
After you book
Section titled “After you book”- Status: new bookings usually start pending until the business confirms them. Your first email is “Booking Request Received” — confirmation follows separately. Statuses you may see: Pending, Confirmed, Completed, Cancelled, No Show.
- Check status: use the business’s booking status page with your booking code (format
ABC-123-XYZ). Links in your emails open it with the code already filled in. - Cancelling: if your booking is confirmed, cancel it yourself with the Cancel Booking button on that page. The exception is bookings made without an email address — for those, contact the business.
- Rescheduling: not self-service. Cancel and rebook, or contact the business.
- Reminders: typically a week before, a day before, and three hours before.
- Check spam for verification and confirmation emails.
- Keep your booking code somewhere safe.
- If no times appear, try other dates or another service — availability is set by the business.
Part B — Running your business (dashboard)
Section titled “Part B — Running your business (dashboard)”Sign in at bookin.biz with the account your organization uses. Every sign-in lands on the Calendar.
First-time setup (owners)
Section titled “First-time setup (owners)”There’s no setup wizard. Signing up creates your organization, business details, booking subdomain and a starting schedule automatically, and the Calendar shows a “Finish setting up your business” checklist: complete your business profile, confirm your business hours, confirm your booking slots, add a service.
Main areas
Section titled “Main areas”| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Calendar | Your schedule, the setup checklist, and where you create bookings |
| Insights | Booking, revenue, demand and customer reports (Pro) |
| Bookings | Every appointment in a searchable, filterable list |
| Customers | Customer records, notes and history |
| Services | What customers can book |
| Website Builder | Build and publish a website for your business |
| Slot Management | Business hours, slot settings, date overrides |
| Media | Images and files used across your account |
| Billing | Plan, invoices, payment method — owner only |
| Settings | Team, general, business, notifications, notification providers, domains, booking form, security |
What you see depends on your role. Media, Billing and Settings are permission-gated; a member gets read-only access to the core screens plus Security.
BOOKIN has exactly three roles:
- Owner — everything, including billing and removing team members.
- Admin — most things, but not billing or pricing.
- Member — read-only on bookings, dashboard, slots and business hours.
Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”- Settings → Notifications controls which categories you receive: System, Appointment, Marketing.
- Settings → Notification Providers controls the channels: dashboard, email, Slack, Discord and LINE. Everything except dashboard needs Starter or above.
- The bell in the header shows in-app activity.
Security
Section titled “Security”Under Settings → Security you can change your password and manage two-factor authentication and passkeys. This tab is available to every role.
If you signed up with Google, set a password first — 2FA can’t be enabled without one.
Support
Section titled “Support”For product or billing issues, use the contact options on bookin.biz.
