Create your professional account

Start from the CHAIR sign-up page. Choose the Professional account option to set up a business workspace.

  1. Select Professional on the sign-up page.
  2. Enter your Full name, Email and Password, then select Create professional account. You can also choose Continue with Google or Continue with Apple.
  3. Follow any verification instructions shown for your chosen sign-up method.

Tell us how you work

The welcome flow asks a few questions before you reach your dashboard.

  1. Check the name in What can we call you? This is the name customers see on bookings.
  2. Choose your previous booking platform and select Continue, or select I'm new to online booking apps.
  3. Under How will you use CHAIR?, select Just me if you work for yourself. To set up a team business, select A team, then I'm starting a team.
  4. Enter your business location. Add your Street Address and City, then your Post Code if available. Business Name is optional.
  5. Select a matching address suggestion, or use Verify Address. Once Address Verified appears, select Save & Continue.

Introduce yourself on your booking page

Use My Page in the dashboard to give clients a useful introduction to you and your business.

  1. Open My Page and expand About.
  2. Write a short description of your work, experience and what clients can expect.
  3. Select Save About and wait for the saved confirmation.
  4. You can also expand Profile Picture, choose a photo and select Upload Profile Picture.

Finish your setup before sharing

Your account and booking page have separate setup steps. The Make your booking page live guide covers the requirements for solo professionals and team businesses.

  1. Open Dashboard and find Booking page setup. Select View all setup steps to see the remaining requirements, or Review setup if the essential steps are complete.
  2. Complete the required services, location, opening hours, booking policies and payment setup. Verify the business owner's email and check that the membership gives current access; a valid trial counts.
  3. Open My Page and find Online bookings beneath Your Professional Page. Resolve any listed requirements, then turn on the switch to open now, or use Schedule opening to choose a later date.
  4. Check that the status says Online bookings are live before inviting clients to book now.
