Design and publish your booking page

Common questions

Which changes go live without publishing?

The page’s address under “Booking link”, the directory listing and a paid promotion take effect straight away; a promotion on a licence paid by bank transfer starts the day its invoice is paid. Everything else waits for “Publish”, including your social pages and website under “Links” and the text under “Promo”.

Who can edit and publish the page?

Anyone whose role may change bookings settings, usually an owner or admin. Everyone else sees a short note and the page’s link with “Copy link”.

I changed a place on the Places screen. Does that change the page?

No. The place’s window holds its own facts, such as the name, address and hours, and its link. The page’s look, logo, links and promo are edited only here, as a draft you publish.

What do clients see if my workspace becomes read-only?

Your page stays up, but in place of the times it says “Online booking is paused — call …” with the public phone you set on Bookings › Public page, or asks clients to contact you directly if there is none. It opens again as soon as a licence is paid; until then the line at the top of the app says how many people opened the page.

Can people buy a gift card on my page?

Yes, once you turn on “Sell gift cards on your booking page” on Loyalty & gift cards, with a payment gateway connected. A “Gift card” card with “Buy a gift card” then shows near the top of the page; it is not one of the sections and needs no publishing. The cards sold appear on Loyalty & gift cards › Gift cards.

Can I edit the booking page on the phone?

Yes, if you manage booking settings: More → Bookings → Booking page. It shows Published or “Unpublished changes”. Preview opens the page with your draft in the app’s browser, Publish puts it live, and “Discard draft” asks first. The sections are Link (old links keep working), Directory (it needs a city), Brand (palette, colours, corners, typeface, business name and a logo from the place’s photos), Hero, Links (Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, your website and more), Promo, “About & gallery”, Sections (order and on or off; services come first and the terms last), Team and Search engines. Each section’s changes are saved as a draft when you leave it. Promotion is managed on the web.

Does my page’s look carry into the client app?

Yes. In the Setvos app your place, its people, the shop, booking, visits, the wallet and invoices take your colours, corners and typeface, shaded where needed so that text stays readable in light and dark mode; the client’s own light or dark choice decides the background. Your page in the app shows no other salon.

How do clients find my place in the client app?

The app has four tabs: Explore, Visits, Wallet and Me. In Explore, a client’s own salons come first, under “Your salons”; listed places follow under “New on Setvos”, and a place created in the last 30 days is marked New. Clients choose a city, search by name, city or street, and filter by category. A paid placement always carries the label “Promoted” and never appears among a client’s own salons.
