Erste Schritte: Onboarding
Von der Anmeldung zum ersten Verkauf in unter 30 Minuten.
When you sign up, ZibaDesk asks two things: what your salon is called and what type of business it is. From that you get a working salon straight away: a starter service menu, a first staff member, a public booking page, and a POS ready to ring up sales. Everything else is a short checklist inside the app that you work through when it suits you.
You are inside a working POS in under a minute. Language and currency are picked up from your device, and the "Finish setting up" list at the top of the app covers prices, opening hours, your logo, your team, online booking and a PIN. Nothing is final: every choice can be changed in Settings.
Schritte
1. Account creation
On zibadesk.com, click "Get Started" and choose a subdomain (e.g. yoursalon.zibadesk.com). Enter your name, email, and a password. We send an email to verify the address — click the link, and you're in.
2. Name your salon and pick its type
Salon name and type (Beauty & Hair / Barbershop / Spa & Wellness / Nail Salon / Medical Aesthetics). The type loads a starter service menu in your language; you can also import your own pricelist from a photo, or start with an empty menu. Language and currency come from your device and can be changed at any time. The UI flips to RTL for Persian and Arabic.
3. Check your services
The starter menu has typical services with reasonable durations and prices. Open "Finish setting up" at the top of the app and review them first: edit prices and durations in seconds, because they're what your booking page shows customers.
4. Add your team
Your salon starts with one staff member who can do every service. From the same checklist, rename them and add everyone else who delivers services, with their working hours. The booking page only offers slots when at least one qualified staff member is on shift. When more than one person uses the POS, set a PIN so it can be locked.
5. Connect a domain or share the booking link
You're live at yoursalon.zibadesk.com. Optional: connect a custom domain like book.yoursalon.com (Pro plan and up — we handle SSL automatically). Either way, paste the link into your Instagram bio, Google Business profile, and email signature.
6. Take your first sale
Open the POS, pick a service or two, choose Walk-in or search for the customer, take payment. Done — your first transaction is in the system, the customer record is created, and reports start populating immediately.
Häufige Fragen
Can I import customers and services from my old system?
Yes. Settings → Data → Import. We accept CSV exports from Mindbody, Square, Booksy, Vagaro, Phorest, and most others. Custom format? Drop it in support and we'll match the columns for you.
What if I make a mistake during setup?
Nothing is permanent. Every step has an Edit button on the corresponding settings page. You can change services, staff, hours, currency — all of it — at any time.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The free plan has no time limit and no card required. Add a card only when you need to upgrade for online payments, custom domains, or unlimited staff.
How do I set up more than one location?
On Ultra, go to Settings → Locations and add each branch with its address, phone, time zone and (optionally) its own opening hours. The first location is the primary one: everything recorded before you added locations belongs to it. Each device then picks its location from the header (or the More menu on phones), so its register shifts, sales and stock movements are stamped correctly. Assign staff to locations under Settings → Staff, choose the location when creating an appointment, and clients pick their branch on your booking page. Reports can be filtered by location. Free and Pro include one location; Ultra includes up to five.
