How to use it
- Open Setup and choose Simple or Advanced navigation. Simple keeps your everyday tools easy to reach; Advanced exposes optional shortcuts. Search, All tools and Settings remain available according to your access.
- Confirm your business details, then review services, forms and booking preferences.
- Work through the setup steps for availability, client information, payments, and communication. Open each linked tool, save your choices, and return to Setup.
- Open your public booking page and walk through it as a client. Check your name, service wording, available times, and any payment or waiver requirements before sharing it.
- Open Settings → App & installation for device-specific home-screen instructions. Save your work in every Dino tab before applying an app update. Booking, messaging and payment actions require an internet connection.
What to know first
- A business account is needed to save settings. Some settings require the owner or an authorized team member.
- A completed checklist does not turn on an unconfigured payment or messaging provider. Check the connection status shown in each tool.
How it connects
Profile and booking settings shape your public booking page. Calendar availability controls when people can book; payment and consent choices affect the steps they see.
A useful habit
Start with the tools you need for your next appointment. You can return to Setup and add optional tools later.
Common questions
Where is the setup wizard?
Sign in and open Setup for the checklist and linked settings. Choose your business mode, complete the relevant steps, and test your booking page. Optional tools can be added later.
Read the guide: Set up your businessCan I use Dino on my phone and computer?
Yes. Dino's web interface adapts to phone and desktop screens. Navigation is arranged differently on smaller screens, and access still depends on your role and enabled features. Use your device's browser or install the home-screen web app through Settings → App & installation. The same account works in both; installation is optional.

The home-screen app still needs the internet for bookings, messages and payments. Dino does not queue offline changes to send later or cache private customer pages for offline reading. Reconnect and check that your last change was saved before repeating it. App & installation explains your browser's install and update options; save work in all open Dino tabs before an update reloads them.
