Cobbtree is your calendar, till, Marketplace listing and website in one place. This checklist gets a new account ready to take bookings. Do it on the web at partners.cobbtree.com.

There is no separate setup wizard. Work through the list below, then use Today for the day-to-day shortcuts.

Before you start

You need a Cobbtree for Business account. If you picked a plan on cobbtree.com before signing up, that plan is already on the account, including any free trial.

Your setup checklist

  1. 1
    Sign in at partners.cobbtree.com with your work email and password. See Sign in to Cobbtree for Business.
  2. 2
    Check your business details. Go to Settings → Business details and add your name, logo and links. This is what customers see.
  3. 3
    Check currency and region. Go to Settings → Currency and region. You cannot change the currency after a booking or a payment, and past amounts stay in the currency you used.
  4. 4
    Add your locations and opening hours. Go to Settings → Locations.
  5. 5
    Create your services. Open Services and select Add +.
  6. 6
    Add your team and their working hours. Go to Settings → Team, then open Rota. Each person needs working hours before they appear in online booking.
  7. 7
    Connect Stripe so you can take card payments, deposits and no-show fees. Go to Settings → Payments.
The Settings page

Your Today page

After you sign in you land on Today. The Quick actions row is for the jobs you do most often:

What your customers see

Once a location is listed, customers can find you on cobbtree.com and book from your website or the Cobbtree app. Being listed and taking online bookings are separate: you can be listed without taking online bookings, and you can take bookings without appearing in search.
