Getting Started with SuiteCal

Set up your booking page, add your services, and share your link, all in under 2 minutes.

Create your account

Go to SuiteCal and tap Sign in with Google. That's it — no password to create, no email to verify. SuiteCal uses your Google account to sign you in.

Once you're in, the app creates everything you need to get started: a booking page, default availability (Monday–Friday, 9–5), and a 14-day free trial of the Premium plan. No credit card required.

You'll land in a short setup flow — 5 quick steps to get your booking page ready to share.


Step 1: Confirm your timezone

SuiteCal detects your timezone automatically from your browser. Double-check that it's correct and tap continue.

Your country and currency are set based on your timezone:

  • US → USD

  • Canada → CAD

  • UK → GBP

  • Australia → AUD

You can change any of these if the auto-detection is off. This is the only step you can't skip.


Step 2: Tell us about your business

Two quick screens:

Experience level — Are you just starting out, building your book, or established?

Primary goal — What matters most right now? Stopping no-shows, looking more professional, or saving time?

SuiteCal uses your answers to seed your account with service templates that match your experience level and currency. A newer artist gets starter pricing; an established artist gets pricing that reflects where she actually is.

You can skip either screen. Default service templates will still be added to your account.


Step 3: See your booking page

This is the fun part. SuiteCal shows you a live preview of your booking page — your business name, brand color, and the services that were just added.

Your business name defaults to your Google display name. The brand color starts as a soft pink. Both can be changed later in Settings.

From here, you have two options:

  • "Tweak it" — adjust your service prices and availability hours before sharing (Step 4)

  • "Share now" — skip the tweaks and go straight to sharing your link (Step 5)

If your defaults look close enough, go ahead and share. You can always come back and fine-tune later.


Step 4: Tweak your setup (optional)

If you chose "Tweak it," you'll see two screens:

Service prices — All your seeded services are listed with editable price fields. Update them to match your actual rates. At least one service needs a price above $0.

Availability hours — A weekly grid showing each day (Sunday–Saturday) with a start time, end time, and on/off toggle. Defaults are Monday–Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM, with weekends off. Adjust to match your real schedule.


Step 5: Share your booking page

Your unique booking link is displayed — something like janedoe.suitecal.com. This is the URL your clients will use to book with you.

Three ways to share it:

  • Copy link — paste it anywhere (Instagram bio, website, email signature)

  • Share via text — send it directly to a client

  • Share to Instagram — open the Instagram sharing flow

Important: Your booking page goes live at this step. During Steps 1–4, anyone who tries to visit your link sees a "not found" page — so you don't have to worry about clients seeing an incomplete setup.

Tap "Continue to dashboard" and you're done. Onboarding complete.


Skipping onboarding

A skip button is available on Steps 2–5. If you skip, onboarding is marked complete and you go straight to the dashboard. All defaults stay in place — you can adjust everything later from Settings.
