Getting started

After you sign up, the panel guides you through Guided setup, step by step. Progress is saved, so you can stop and continue later. Everything you enter can be changed later.

Plan about half an hour to set up one location with a few services and staff.

What to prepare

• The firm’s name and logo (the logo can come later).
• The address and contact phone of each location.
• A list of services with price and duration.
• Names and email addresses of your staff.
• Opening hours of each location and staff shifts for the next few weeks.

Steps

1. Owner account

On tempact.app click Sign up. Enter your name and email, then confirm the email address with the link you receive. This account becomes the firm’s owner account.

2. Your firm

Enter the firm name as you want clients to see it. The panel suggests a link name, for example studio-luma for “Studio Luma”. You can change the suggestion. The link name may contain only lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Your booking link is built from it.

3. Choose a plan

Choose a plan: Solo, Team or Studio. Prices and differences are on tempact.app. Every new firm first gets a 30-day trial, without a card. If you agreed on a longer free pilot, we activate it. See Subscription and free pilot.

4. Locations and rules

For each location enter the name, city, address, public contact and public hours. Booking rules are checked here as well: how far ahead clients may book and until when they may cancel on their own. See Locations and publishing.

5. Services and prices

Build the price list: service name, price, duration and, if needed, preparation after the service. The price list is shared by the whole firm, and a location can change it for itself. See Services and prices.

6. Staff and shifts

Add staff, assign their location and services, and enter weekly shifts. You can send a staff member an invitation by email so they set their own password. A staff member appears in the calendar once they accept. Publish services before assigning staff, and publish the location again after assigning them. If you work alone, turn on I also work as staff in Account and team, with no separate invitation. See Team and shifts.

7. Connect a site

Choose how clients will book: link, dialog over the site, inline form, ready sections, or JSON for developers. This step is not required for activation: the link works right away, even without a website. See Site connection.

8. Check and activation

The panel makes a trial booking to check that everything works together: location, service, staff member, shift and rules. The trial booking is not written to the calendar, does not count in statistics or rewards, and sends no messages. When the check passes, turn on online booking for the location. From then on clients can book.

If something changes after the check

If you change services, prices, shifts or rules of that location after the check, the panel asks for a new check before activation. This makes sure clients see exactly what you checked.

What activation needs

The panel does not allow activation until all of this is ready:

• a confirmed owner account;
• a published firm profile;
• a published location with city, address, time zone and at least one public contact;
• reviewed booking rules;
• at least one published service and an active staff member who does it, with a weekly shift;
• a successful trial booking;
• an active subscription, trial or free pilot, with room for that location.

The logo, English translation and phone notifications are not required. You can add them later.

After activation

1. Install the panel on your phone and turn on notifications: The app on your phone.
2. Make one booking yourself, through your link, to see what clients see.
3. If you have several locations, activate them one at a time. Each has its own check.

Tip

If someone else builds your website, invite them as a partner. They see only your firm’s themes and site connection, with no client data. See Firm-only themes.
