Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard is an 8-step guided tour that takes a fresh Advik Booking install and turns it into a configured, ready-to-accept-bookings site. You can re-run it any time.

When to use it

  • You're a new user and don't know where to start.
  • You want a quick "sane defaults" config for a specific industry.
  • You just want a working site in 10 minutes without reading docs.

If you prefer full control, skip the wizard and configure everything manually using the Quick Start guide.

Re-running the wizard

The wizard is non-destructive by default — it will not delete your existing services or staff. It will, however, add new suggested items, so you may want to tidy up afterwards.

After the wizard

Open your new booking page and try a test booking. Then read How It Works to understand the moving parts before you customise further.
