Launch checklist

Good to know

• If a book.… link doesn't open yet, the shop's address is still finishing setup — that can take up to 72 hours. The backup link works the whole time.
• The ?source= tag is optional. The plain link always works, and the tag just tells staff where the booking came from — it shows on each appointment in the dashboard.
• You can also use standard utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign tags; they're stored with the booking too.
• Both addresses open the same booking flow, so links already posted anywhere keep working. Prefer the book.… address on public listings — it reads better on Google and business cards. The lovable.app backup exists in case you need an alternate address.
• In Google Business Profile, paste the link under Bookings (the appointment/booking link field). This is a plain booking link, not an official “Reserve with Google” provider integration — that would need separate approval and testing before anyone claims it exists.
• Each shop keeps its own calendar and capacity. Staff only see the shop they're assigned to; an owner assigned to all shops sees both from one dashboard.

Still needed from you

• Street address, phone number and email for each shop.
• Real opening hours, holiday closures, and how many vehicles fit in one time slot.
• Confirm the exact drop-off and confirmation wording.
• Which transportation options each shop actually offers.
• Staff email addresses and the role each person should have.
• Text/email sending credentials when you're ready to turn on automated confirmations.

All of these are editable in the dashboard under Settings.
