Core concepts
Five minutes here saves hours later. ActiveBooker is built from a few pieces — once you see how they fit, every page in the dashboard makes sense. The tree below is the structure — walk through it step by step:
Everything lives under one account — your business details, opening hours, payments, and team. Inside it, you set up two building blocks: activities and booking types.
How a booking actually happens
The concepts above come together every time someone books:
- A customer opens your activity's booking page (or your staff click Add Booking)
- They pick a booking type, a date, and an available time slot
- They add add-ons, enter their details, and see the price breakdown — with any discount code or dynamic price rule applied
- They pay the deposit or full amount and the booking is created
- ActiveBooker sends the confirmation email or SMS you set up in Automations, and the customer signs the waiver
Every one of those bold words is configurable — that's what the setup checklist walks you through.
