What to Set Up After Onboarding

You've completed onboarding and your booking page is live. Here's how to customize the rest of your SuiteCal account so it actually matches how you run your business.

Customize your booking page

Your booking page is the first thing clients see. Make it yours.

Go to Settings → Branding to update:

  • Business name — defaults to your Google display name. Change it to your studio or brand name.

  • Brand color — defaults to a soft pink. Pick a color that matches your brand.

  • Logo — no logo is set during onboarding. Upload yours here.

  • Tagline — add a short line that tells clients what you do.

Your booking page URL (like janedoe.suitecal.com) was auto-generated during signup. You can update your subdomain in Settings if you want something different.


Edit or add services

SuiteCal seeded your account with service templates during onboarding. These are a starting point — update them to match what you actually offer.

Go to the Services page to:

  • Edit prices and durations — make sure each service reflects your real rates and session length

  • Update descriptions — add details clients should know before booking

  • Add new services — create services that weren't in the templates (lip blush, eyeliner, color boosts, scar camouflage — whatever you offer)

  • Remove services you don't need


Set your real availability

During onboarding, availability defaults to Monday–Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM. If that's not your actual schedule, fix it now.

Go to Settings → Availability to:

  • Turn days on or off (if you work Saturdays, turn Saturday on)

  • Set your actual start and end times for each day

  • Block off specific days you know you won't be available

Your availability controls what time slots clients see on your booking page. If a time isn't in your schedule, it won't show up.


Update your booking policies

Defaults are set to the simplest configuration — no lead time, no buffer, no cancellation window. That works to start, but you'll probably want to tighten things up as bookings come in.

Go to Settings → Booking Policy to adjust:

  • Lead time — how far in advance a client needs to book (e.g., 24 hours). Prevents last-minute bookings you can't prepare for.

  • Advance window — how far into the future clients can book. Default is 1 week.

  • Buffer between appointments — add time between sessions for cleanup, setup, or a break. Default is no buffer.

  • Time slot intervals — how your availability is divided. Default is 15-minute increments.

  • Cancellation/reschedule window — set a cutoff for how late clients can cancel or reschedule (e.g., no changes within 48 hours of the appointment).

  • Auto-confirm — on by default. Turn it off if you want to manually approve each booking.


Connect Square for payments

SuiteCal integrates with Square to accept deposits or full payments at the time of booking. This is set up separately from onboarding.

Go to Settings → Payments to connect your Square account.

Once connected, you can require deposits or prepayment on individual services — a strong move for reducing no-shows on $500+ sessions.


Share your booking page (again)

Your booking page link is always available from the dashboard. You don't have to dig for it.

Best places to put it:

  • Instagram bio — this is where most of your clients will find it

  • Text messages — send it directly when a client asks to book

  • Your website — add it to your contact or booking page

  • Email signature — include it in every email you send

  • Google Business Profile — add it as your booking link

The URL is yourusername.suitecal.com. Share it anywhere clients might be looking for you.
