Your first week with Kinhour

Most studios are ready to take bookings in an afternoon. You have 14 days free with everything switched on, so there is no rush. This is the order we suggest.

Day one: the essentials

1. 1Create your account. You get a studio of your own straight away. If sign-up is not open to you yet, write to us first. Creating your account
2. 2Open Set up your studio. It walks you through nine steps, and the first six are the essentials. The guided setup
3. 3Check your studio details: currency, language, country and whether your prices include tax. Change the currency before you sell anything. Studio details
4. 4Add your location and rooms. One room is enough to start. Locations and rooms
5. 5Add your classes and place them on the week. Classes and the timetable
6. 6Add your prices: a drop-in, a pack, a membership and an intro offer is a good start. Passes and prices

Day two: money and people

1. 1Connect Stripe so clients can pay online. The money goes into your own Stripe account. Payments and Stripe
2. 2Set your booking rules: how far ahead people can book, the free cancellation time and the waitlist. Booking rules
3. 3Add your teachers and front desk, and invite the ones who need to sign in. Staff and Team sign-ins and roles
4. 4If you charge VAT, add your tax rate. Taxes

Day three: bring your clients

1. 1Import your clients, passes, memberships and future bookings from your old system, or ask us to do it for you, free. Importing from another system
2. 2If your members pay by card every month, bring their saved cards across too. Bringing saved cards across

Then go live

1. 1Publish your booking page and, if you like, put the timetable on your own website. Your booking page and widgets
2. 2Run through the go-live checks and make a test booking yourself. Going live

You can come back to any step later. Everything you add is saved as you go, and nothing is sent to your clients until you choose to.
