Your first steps in Lumidara

When you first sign in, a setup checklist sits in the top right corner of your dashboard. Each item ticks itself off as soon as you finish it, so you never have to mark anything done by hand.

The checklist, step by step

1. Add your services. List what you offer with a duration and a price. This is what clients see and book. How to add a service.
2. Set up My Page. Write a short About section and add a few photos of your work, so your booking site feels like you.
3. Set up your branding. This one only appears on the Branded plan. Upload your logo, pick your brand color, and set the name your emails come from.
4. Set up rewards. Turn on loyalty and create at least one reward. This is optional: plenty of studios use Lumidara only for booking. Turning loyalty on or off.
5. Set up automated campaigns. Your welcome email and appointment reminder are already on. This step switches on the rebooking and birthday emails too.
6. Add your clients. Add them one at a time, or import your whole list from a spreadsheet.
7. Set up payments. Connect Stripe or Square so clients can pay by card. Cash works without it. Connecting a payment processor.

Hiding the checklist

You can dismiss single items you do not need, or hide the whole checklist. If you hide it before finishing, it comes back the next time you sign in (or after a day) so nothing gets forgotten. Once every item is done or dismissed, it goes away for good.
