Getting Started with Brivila

Step 1: Create your account

Start by creating a Brivila account for your business. This is the foundation everything else attaches to: your bookings, payments, client records, storefront, and reporting all live under this one account, so there's nothing else to sign up for separately.

If you're a solo professional, this is your whole business in one place. If you run a larger operation, it's the home base your services and schedule build on.

Step 2: Set up your storefront and handle

Next, set up your public storefront and choose your handle. The storefront is your booking page — the thing clients land on when they discover you in the marketplace or open a link you've shared. Your handle is how people find and refer to you.

Present yourself the way you want to be seen: this page is what a prospective client uses to decide to book, so it's worth getting your name, look, and the essentials right before you share it widely.

Step 3: Add your services and hours

Add the services you offer and set the hours you're available. Your services define what a client can book and at what price — and because Brivila is multi-currency, your prices show in your own local currency, the one you actually charge in.

Your hours define when those services can be booked, so the availability a client sees matches the times you actually work. Together, services and hours are what make online booking possible without a back-and-forth: a client picks a service, picks an open time, and they're booked.

It's worth taking a few minutes here to get the details right — clear service names, accurate durations, honest prices, and hours that reflect your real week. This is the information every future booking rests on, so a little care now saves confusion later.

Step 4: Share your booking link

With your storefront live and services in place, share your booking link. Put it where your clients already are — your social profiles, your messages, your existing conversations — so booking is one tap away rather than a phone call or a wait for a reply.

The same page also works through the Brivila marketplace, where clients discovering beauty and self-care services can find you. Between the link you share and the marketplace that surfaces you, clients have more than one way to reach your booking page.

Step 5: Take bookings and payments

Now you're ready to take bookings. When a client books, it lands directly in your Brivila calendar and ties to the right client record — so their history builds automatically instead of scattering across notebooks and chat threads.

For payment, you can collect online or use the pay-at-venue option to settle in person, whichever suits how you work. Either way, the payment stays connected to the booking, so there's nothing to reconcile by hand afterward.

After your first booking

Once bookings are coming in, the rest of the platform is already working for you. Client records grow with each appointment, reporting shows you how the business is doing, and the AI companion quietly handles busywork around booking and follow-up so more of your time stays on clients.

That's the whole idea: get set up fast, share your link, and let one platform handle being found, getting booked, and running the day. From here, the salons-and-spas and independent-pros guides go deeper on making the most of Brivila for your kind of business.
