The essential settings you should not skip

BookAndGo has a lot of settings. These are the ones that matter before you take your first client.

The settings page is a labyrinth. Most of it can wait. These eight configurations should be locked in before you share a single booking link.

The essential eight

Cancellation policy - how much notice do you need?
Buffer time - the gap between appointments.
Booking horizon - how far ahead clients can book.
Confirmation email - turned on, with your business phone in the body.
24h reminder - turned on.
Review request - turned on, fires after appointment completion.
Time zone - set correctly before the first booking.
Business address - shows on confirmations and Google Maps.

Everything else can be adjusted after you have real clients using the platform. The eight above, if wrong, will bite immediately.
