At a glance

Use this guide when

The workspace is new, has changed owners, or needs a clean readiness check before real customer work begins.

Best practice

Test one complete lead-to-payment path with clearly labeled sample data before inviting the whole team.

Watch for

Turning on every automation at once can hide which prerequisite or message caused an issue.

01

Complete the foundation first

  1. Open Settings → Business to confirm your legal company name, public phone, and time zone.
  2. Connect Stripe in Settings → Payments so payouts land in your checking account.
  3. Add your first price book item or starter service so you can assemble an estimate in seconds.
02

Run one safe test

  1. Create a test lead using your own mobile number and email.
  2. Build and send a sample quote to experience the homeowner view.
  3. Review the live dashboard cards to verify the test lead and quote appear in your active pipeline.
03

Use the onboarding checklist

The dashboard checklist tracks your progress across business profile setup, website publishing, Stripe connection, and texting activation.

Completion check

Confirm before moving on

Use these checks to make sure the dashboard and the real-world workflow agree.

  • Business identity, location, and customer-facing contact details are accurate.
  • At least one lead, quote, and payment path has been tested safely.
  • The people doing office and field work can reach only the areas they need.

Troubleshooting

When the workflow doesn’t look right

Stripe onboarding is stuck or pending.

Open Settings → Payments and check for missing identity or bank verification prompts from Stripe.

Sample SMS does not arrive.

Verify your phone number in Settings and check that carrier registration is active.

Keep going
