# Set up Lilo Booth > What Lilo set up for you when you signed up, what to check before clients book, and how to take payments and start taking bookings. **Applies to:** Lilo Booth Source: https://heylilo.co/help/getting-started/booth-setup Lilo Booth is for the independent, a solo business owner or a booth/suite renter. You're the owner, the only person clients can book, and you don't have additional staff helping run operations. Sign up at [app.heylilo.co/get-started](https://app.heylilo.co/get-started) and choose **I run my own practice**, or in the [Lilo app](https://heylilo.co/help/getting-started/lilo-on-your-phone) tap **Start your free trial**, then **I'm an independent**. Lilo offers a no-card-needed 30-day free trial for all new accounts. ## After sign-up, here is where you stand: *Most of the following can be modified during onboarding.* - Your business is named after you, like "Jane's Studio". Change it in [**Settings** → **Business Profile**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/settings?tab=profile). - You're bookable 9 AM to 5 PM every day, weekends included, until you set your own hours in [**My Schedule**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/my-schedule). - Online booking is on. Clients can book as soon as you have a service. - **Checkout-First Workflow** is on, so there's no check-in step. Turn it off in [**Settings** → **Appointments**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/settings?tab=booking) if you'd rather check clients in. See [Check-in, statuses, and no-shows](https://heylilo.co/help/calendar/check-in-and-statuses). - Your free trial begins and runs for 30 days. See [Plans, trial, and billing basics](https://heylilo.co/help/getting-started/plans-and-trial). ## Add your services There are three ways to set up your service menu: 1. Use Lilo's starter menu (it's built for the business type you select using industry averages). It's available during onboarding and on the [**Catalog** → **Services**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/services) page (arrow button next to **New service**). 2. Import your menu via migration. This is available during onboarding. If you skipped it, please reach out to [Lilo support](https://heylilo.co/help/account/get-help). See [Switch to Lilo](https://heylilo.co/help/getting-started/switch-to-lilo). 3. Create your service menu. If you are a new business, have used traditional methods like pen & paper, or want a fresh start, add your services manually on your [**Catalog** → **Services**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/services) page. I selected *White-glove migration* and pasted my booking link. What happens now? Someone at Lilo copies your services, prices and durations into your account. You will be notified via email once it's finished. ## Set and update your hours To set your hours, go to [**My Schedule**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/my-schedule). [**Your availability, time off, and blocks**](https://heylilo.co/help/calendar/your-availability) covers the rest. ## Take card payments You need payments connected to take cards, save cards on file and collect deposits. Go to [**Settings** → **Payments**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/settings?tab=payments), enter your business name and email, and select **Set Up Payments**. Lilo hands you to Stripe to finish. [Connect payments and get paid out](https://heylilo.co/help/payments/connect-payments) covers the rest, including your payouts. Want to take deposits during bookings? See [**Deposits and payments at booking**](https://heylilo.co/help/payments/deposits-and-booking-payments). ## Start taking bookings Clients can book through your booking link, the booking widget on your own website, or a Lilo Site. The link and the widget code are in [**Settings** → **Booking Page**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/settings?tab=booking-page). See [Your online booking page](https://heylilo.co/help/booking/online-booking-page). Want a website? Lilo Booth includes one. See [**Create your Lilo Site**](https://heylilo.co/help/lilo-sites/create-your-site). ## You're done when - Your services are in and bookable. - Your schedule is set. - You can take card payments and receive payouts. - Your booking link is public and ready to be shared. ## Common questions ### Why can clients book me on days I don't work? Until you set your own hours in **My Schedule**, Lilo uses 9 AM to 5 PM every day. See [**Your availability, time off, and blocks**](https://heylilo.co/help/calendar/your-availability) for fine-tuning your schedule. ### Can I add an assistant or a second location? No. Lilo Booth is for one person at one location. If you want to migrate your account to a Pro account, please [contact support](https://heylilo.co/help/account/get-help). ### I rent a booth from a business that uses Lilo. Can I join their team with this login? No. A Lilo login works with one business. To join their team as well, ask them to invite you at a different email address.
