Guides for setting up and running Revively - scheduling, online booking, classes, payments, and your team.
Set up your workspace and take your first booking.

- Create your first booking Learn how to create, reschedule, and manage bookings on the Revively calendar, including multi-resource appointments and cleaning buffers.
- Set up services and resources Build your service catalog and model rooms, equipment, and cleaning buffers so the Revively scheduler books only when everything is free.
- Your catalogue explained - services, packages, classes, courses, programs, and items Understand the six catalogue entities in Revively, where each one shows up for staff and customers, and how they relate to bookings, credits, and invoices.
- How to import from another booking system Move customers, staff, services, packages, gift vouchers, and appointments into Revively from Mindbody, GetTimely, Fresha, and others - with a preview before anything is written.
- Choosing a vertical pack for your business Pick the right Revively vertical pack for spas, gyms, salons, clinics, and studios so starter services, resources, and defaults match how you operate.
- Prepare for a white-glove migration Checklist of logins, legal documents, terminals, and entity lists to gather before Revively migrates your business from another booking system.
- How to set business hours and holidays Configure Revively business hours, closures, and holidays so online booking and the scheduler only offer appointment times when you are genuinely open.
Your branded portal, recurring classes, and waitlists.

- Publish your services and share online booking Turn on online booking, copy Instagram bio links and per-service URLs from Online Sharing settings, and let customers book from social, your website, and QR codes.
