Getting started with BookOrielle
From sign-up to first booking in 7 steps. Most businesses are fully set up in under 15 minutes.
Create your partner account
Go to the partner sign-up page and fill in your name, email address, and a password. You will receive a 6-digit verification code at the email you entered. Type it in to confirm your account.
You can also sign up using Google if you prefer not to create a separate password.
Complete your business profile
During signup, you will enter your business name, select a business type (salon, spa, barbershop, etc.), and provide your business address. The address field uses Google Places autocomplete to help you fill it in quickly.
After signup, go to Settings in your portal to upload your logo, write a description, and fine-tune your profile. This is what customers see on your public booking page.
Set your hours of operation
The signup flow lets you set your initial weekly hours. After that, go to Hours in your portal to edit them anytime. You can set different hours for each day of the week, add break times, and block off specific dates for holidays or vacations.
If you have staff members, each person can have their own schedule that overrides the business hours. This is useful when team members work different shifts.
Add your services
Go to Services in your portal and click Add Service. For each service, set:
- A name (e.g., “Classic Manicure”)
- A price (e.g., $45.00)
- A duration (e.g., 60 minutes)
- A category (Hair, Nails, Massage, Facials, etc.)
- An optional buffer time between appointments for prep or cleanup
- An optional deposit amount (Gold plan only)
Add staff members (optional)
If you work solo, you can skip this step. Your account is already set up as the owner. If you have a team, go to Staff and click Add Staff.
For each staff member, provide their name and assign a role:
- Owner has full access to everything
- Manager can manage bookings, staff, and services
- Staff can view their own bookings and schedule
- Front Desk can check in clients and manage the calendar
Then assign which services each person can perform and set their individual availability if it differs from business hours.
Connect Stripe to accept payments
Go to Billingin your portal. You will see a prompt to connect with Stripe. Click it and follow Stripe’s onboarding flow to verify your identity and connect a bank account.
This is a one-time process. Stripe handles all security and PCI compliance. Your banking details are never stored on BookOrielle’s servers.
Share your booking link
Every business gets a unique booking page at bookorielle.com/b/your-business-name. Go to Booking Link in your portal to find your URL, download a QR code, and copy embed code for your website.
Share your link on:
- Your Instagram bio or Facebook page
- Your website (as a link or embedded widget, Gold plan)
- Business cards (with the QR code)
- Text messages to existing clients
What happens next?
When a customer books through your link, you will see it on your dashboard and calendar. They get a confirmation email with a management link. You get notified too. Payouts happen automatically through Stripe after each completed booking.
