How to customize settings

Step 1: Customize Your Account Settings

To update your basic profile and platform preferences, go to Settings > Account Settings.

Here, you can:

• Upload a profile photo (min. 400x400px, PNG or JPEG).
• Customize your username and publicly displayed name.
• Add a phone number for SMS notifications.
• Set your country, time zone, and language.
• Choose your preferred date and time formats.
• Select your default currency and distance unit (miles or kilometers).
• Scroll down if you ever need to delete your account permanently.

These settings help personalize your profile, manage how your availability and prices appear, and ensure your account reflects your region and preferences.

Step 2: Set Up Notification Preferences

Navigate to Settings > Notification Settings to manage how and when you receive alerts from Bookme.

You can toggle Email Notifications for:

• Bookings – Be alerted about any booking status changes.
• Messages – Get notified when clients message you.
• Reminders – Receive reminders for upcoming bookings.

Note: Service-related emails (e.g., security or payment confirmations) are required and can’t be turned off.

Customizing these settings ensures you stay updated without overwhelming your inbox.

Step 3: Update Your Security Settings

To ensure your account stays secure, head over to Settings > Security Settings. You'll find two key tabs:

Change Email

Update your login email by:

• Entering your new email address
• Confirming with your current password

Password Settings

Change your password by:

• Entering your current password

  Choosing a new password that meets the requirements:

  • At least 8 characters
  • One uppercase and one lowercase letter
  • One number
  • One special character
  • Confirmed correctly

This ensures your account stays secure and only accessible to you.

Step 4: Integrate Your Calendar

Under Settings > Integrations, you can connect your calendar to automatically sync availability and avoid double bookings. Choose from:

• Google Calendar
• Apple iCloud Calendar
• Microsoft Outlook

Just click Connect under the calendar service you use, and follow the prompts to authorize access.

This step ensures seamless scheduling for both you and your clients.

Step 5: Add Review Integrations

In the Reviews tab under Settings > Integrations, you can showcase social proof by connecting trusted review platforms:

• Clutch – Highlight your business expertise with verified client reviews
• Google Maps – Build local trust with your Google reviews
• LinkedIn – Display your LinkedIn recommendations
• Yelp – Showcase customer satisfaction and gain credibility

Click Connect for each platform and follow the prompts to sync your reviews directly to your profile.

Step 6: Set Up Payout Settings

To get paid for your services, head over to Settings > Payout Settings:

• Start Verification: Click this button to complete the legal and compliance requirements needed to activate payouts.
• Add Payout Method: Select your preferred payout method to receive earnings. You can usually connect a bank account, PayPal, or other supported methods depending on your region.

Tip: Make sure your verification is completed early so there’s no delay in receiving payments.

Step 7: Manage Your Subscription Plan

Navigate to Settings > Subscriptions to view and manage your plan:

• Current Plan: Displays your active subscription (e.g., Starter $0/mo).
• Change Plan: Click to explore and switch to another plan that fits your growing needs.
• Add Payment Method: Set up a card or billing method in case you choose a paid plan later.
• Transaction History: Track past invoices or charges (will appear once you've made any payments).

Tip: The free Starter plan is perfect if you’re just getting started — upgrade anytime as your business grows.
