Create and set up your place

Web panel

Complete the initial setup in the web panel. Use Umovi Calendar afterwards for day-to-day bookings, calendars and clients.

1. Create a place

Verify your account email first. Enter the public name, unique page address (slug), time zone, currency and default communication language. Add contact details, a description and the map location. You can edit these later in settings.

Activate your subscription

The panel shows setup guidance after you create a place. Select Activate place, complete the company details and choose a plan and payment method. A subscription is required to activate client bookings. You can prepare services, opening hours and the team beforehand using Continue to panel.

See Billing for charges, limits and renewal.

2. Complete the place profile

Check the name, contacts, address, map location and default language. Set booking rules and notification channels. Clients should be able to recognise the business and the correct location.

See Place settings.

3. Set hours and resources

Add weekly opening hours. Use a date range for seasonal changes. Create workstations required by services, such as a room, chair or device. Add a resource only when its exclusive availability matters.

See Opening hours and workstations.

4. Add services

Prepare categories, then services. Check each service's name, duration, buffer, price, currency, visibility and status. Keep internal services hidden from clients; the team can still use them for manual bookings. Assign a workstation if required.

See Services and categories.

5. Add your team and assignments

Create each person's profile, set their role and active status, then assign the services they perform. An employee profile defines their work at the place; a linked user account lets them sign in. Grant only the access their role needs.

See Employees and assignments and Roles and permissions.

6. Check availability

Check place hours, employee schedules, availability exceptions and required workstations, in that order. Use an exception for leave, training or an extra shift instead of changing the regular schedule.

7. Share bookings with clients

Create a link to the place, a service or a service with an employee. Open it in a private browser window and continue to time selection. Check the name, location, services, employees and free times.

8. Check you are ready

Make one test booking and confirm that:

• the client sees the correct service, price, duration and place;
• the time respects the employee schedule and workstation;
• the booking appears in the booking centre and Umovi Calendar;
• the right people receive notifications;
• you can update the status after completion or a no-show;
• the public link and QR code open the intended destination.
