**Start receiving bookings in 5 minutes.** This guide takes you from an empty
dashboard to a live booking page in four steps. You'll add your courts, set your
hours and pricing, connect payments, and publish the site customers book on.

## 1. Add your courts

Your courts are the spaces customers rent.

1. In the sidebar, click on **Courts**.
2. Click **Add Court Type** to create a category - for example *Tennis*,
   *Pickleball*, *Padel*, or *Simulator*.
3. Under each type, click **Add Court** for every individual court you
   have.
4. Give each court a name or label so you can tell them apart. For example,
   *Tennis Court 1 (Outdoor)* or *Pickleball (Indoor)*.

  Court types let you price and group similar courts together. You'll use them
  again when you set [custom rates](/guides/bookings/custom-rates).

## 2. Set your hours and rates

1. In the sidebar under **Operations**, open **Hours**.
2. Set your operating hours so customers can only book when you're open.
3. Click on **Add Rates** to add at least one rate so bookings have a
   price. You can refine this later - see [Custom rates](/guides/bookings/custom-rates)
   for peak, off-peak, and member pricing.

## 3. Publish your booking page

1. In the sidebar under **Overview**, open **Public Page**.
2. (Optionally) Fill in your business profile, contact details, and the tabs customers see.
3. Share the public link - you can start accepting bookings without payments!

  Bookings are live by default. Customers can book and pay right away, even
  before you connect Stripe.

## 4. (Optional) Connect payments

Payments run through Stripe, so money from bookings lands in your own account.

1. In the sidebar under **Settings**, open **Payments**.
2. Follow the **Stripe** onboarding to link or create your Stripe
   account.
