There are three steps* that must be completed for your site to be live, and we’ve already done one of them for you!

1. Active packages

Great news: you already have two default packages ready to go:

  • Free Discovery package with 1 x 30 min session
  • $100 Breakthrough package with 1 x 60 min session

You can edit those packages and create new packages — or just stick with those first two packages and add as you go.

2. Add availability

You need to add availability, so clients can book time with you once they’ve got one of your packages.

3. Connect Stripe or PayPal (so you can get paid quickly & easily)

*One optional (but encouraged) step:

4. Connect your Google, Outlook, or Apple calendar (so you’ll never be double-booked)

That’s it! After you’ve completed these 3-4 steps, you can start sharing your homepage URL (you can find the link here) so that clients can buy packages and book time with you.

You know how you can buy a package of 10 yoga classes, then use their booking software to book the actual classes whenever you like? Your clients do the same with Paperbell! Your client pays for a package up-front, then goes into the system to book the actual sessions. It’s up to them if they’d like to go ahead and schedule everything ahead of time, or log back in and schedule when they’re ready for their next session. When they purchase through Paperbell they will create their own client account, just like you do at a yoga studio.

This ensures that you get paid up front, instead of chasing down invoices. If you prefer that your clients pay as they go, you can create single-session packages for your clients to keep re-purchasing whenever they’re ready.

Appointments

You can check out your appointments page to see an upcoming list of all your appointments. If you choose a “publish” calendar on your calendar settings, these will also appear on your Google Calendar automatically.

This is where you tell Paperbell when you can be booked to work with your clients.

Packages

Your packages are your offerings in Paperbell — go to your packages section to create new and modify existing packages. Your packages will all live in your Paperbell website!

Personalize your Paperbell website

You can share your site URL or you can share a link to an individual package by grabbing the URL from a package’s Sharing tab.

Clients

You can click on a client’s name on the clients page to see all of their details – which packages they’ve purchased, how much they’ve spent, and how many sessions they have left. You can also add your own notes that only you can see, or that you can share with the client if you’d like.

🛎 Learn all about your clients

Sales

And your sales page is where you’ll find a list of all packages you’ve sold through your Paperbell site. It can be sorted by package to make it more easily digestible.

Settings

Finally, check out your settings page to change your time zone, or edit the meeting URL you give to your clients. This will automatically appear in your Google Calendar appointments, to end any confusion about which meeting room you’re using or who is calling who. (You can also enter your Skype handle or a conference line number here.)
