Signing up and the setup wizard — and why a phone's browser sends you to the app
From sign-up to a bookable page: the confirmation email, the first questions about your business, the setup steps, and why setup continues in the app when you open it in a phone's browser.
Signing up
You register on the web, at slotora.io, with your email address and a password — the eye in the password box shows what you typed. We send you a confirmation link; press it and you go straight on to setting up. If you left the first tab open, it notices the confirmation on its own.
Your business
Next come your business name, your country — which sets your time zone and currency — the main language of your booking page, and what you do. What you do decides the four starter services you begin with. Their prices start at 0, so put your real prices in (see 'Setting up your services').
The setup steps
The setup wizard walks through your services, hours, team, the basics, money, booking rules and sharing your page. The progress bar follows what is really set up, so you can leave and come back. The last step also asks for your Instagram and Facebook links — 'instagram.com/yoursalon' and '@yoursalon' both work.
On a phone's browser, setup continues in the app
That is on purpose. Open setup in a phone's browser and Slotora asks what your services cost, then sends you to the Slotora app to finish — or, with 'Email me the link so I can finish on a computer', to a computer. The app's own setup asks for your Instagram and Facebook links from version 1.0.20. Day to day, the admin still works in a phone's browser.
When guests can book
Your booking page works from the moment your business exists. Until at least one service has a price, your salon stays out of the Slotora directory.
