Settings is where nearly every "where do I change…?" question ends up. This is a map of it — click Settings in the side menu.
You won't see all of it. Sections appear based on your plan and your permissions, so your menu may be shorter than what's described here. That's normal.
Bookings
The settings that decide how and when customers can book. If something about availability looks wrong, the answer is usually here.
Preferences | Whether online bookings are on, how far ahead people can book, how much notice you need, and how the time slots are spaced. The most useful page in Settings. |
T&Cs | The terms customers agree to when they book. |
Revenue Protection | Deposits, no-show fees and late cancellation fees. |
Wait List | How the wait list behaves when you're fully booked. |
💡 If customers say they can't book, start with Preferences — Online Bookings, Minimum Lead Time and Booking Window between them explain most cases.
Business
Who you are, where you are, and when you're open.
Locations | Your sites. Add, edit and set which staff and services belong to each. |
Payments | How money is handled for bookings. |
Settings | Your business profile — see below. |
Schedules (Legacy) | An old feature kept for long-standing partners. 👀 See the warning below. |
Closed Dates | Bank holidays, refurbishments, anything that shuts a location for a day or more. |
Emails | The emails Styler sends your customers. |
Your business profile
Settings → Business → Settings holds the details that appear to customers and drive how Styler behaves:
Business name and bio — what customers see on your booking page.
Address — unit, street, city, county, postcode and country.
Currency, Language and Timezone.
Email, contact number, website and Instagram.
👀 Timezone is the one to get right. Availability, your calendar, when reminders go out and the date ranges on your reports are all worked out in your business's timezone. If everything looks shifted by a consistent number of hours, this is why.
👀 Currency isn't cosmetic either. It's the currency you'll actually be charging in, so check it before you take your first payment.
👀 About "Schedules (Legacy)"
The name is honest — it's carried over from the previous version of the Hub for partners who already relied on it. If you're a newer partner, don't use it. Staff working hours are the modern equivalent.
It isn't harmless, though. It controls which days of the week your business operates at all, and it sits above everything else — switch a day off there and nobody can be booked that day, whatever your staff hours say. Styler sets it up with all seven days enabled when your account is created, so the right move is to leave it alone.
Booking Widget
Details — your booking link, how the widget looks, and how to embed it on your website. This is where you find the link to share with customers.
💡 There's an Open button on the Status card. It shows you your booking page exactly as a customer sees it, which is the fastest way to check whether a change worked.
Staff
Accounts | Add and remove people, and control who can sign in. |
Permissions | What each role can see and do. |
👀 You'll only see these if your own role can manage permissions. It's the setting that controls access to every other setting, so it's deliberately restricted.
Hub
Appearance | Colours and branding for the Hub itself — what your team sees, not your customers. |
Notifications | What Styler tells you about — new bookings, cancellations and so on. |
💡 Worth separating these two in your head: Hub → Notifications is what your team receives. Business → Emails is what your customers receive.
Integrations
Stripe | Connect Stripe so you can take deposits and charge no-show and late cancellation fees. See getting paid. |
Show your Instagram feed in your customer app. |
👀 If you take deposits, check the Stripe page reads Connected from time to time. An incomplete Stripe account silently stops customers being able to book.
App
Only relevant if you have a branded customer app.
Status | Where your app is up to, and whether it's live. |
Push Notifications | Send a message to everyone with your app installed. |
Preferences | How your app looks and behaves. |
Courses
Preferences — defaults for classes and courses. Only worth visiting if you run them.
Why can't I see a section?
Two reasons, and they're easy to tell apart.
Your permissions. If a colleague can see it and you can't, it's your role. Ask whoever administers your Hub.
Your plan. If nobody at your business can see it, it isn't included on your plan. Speak to your Styler Consultant.
💡 Most of the Settings menu needs the settings permission. Closed Dates and Schedules (Legacy) need the dates permission instead — so it's possible to have one and not the other.
