Until your booking page is activated, guests cannot use your public booking flow. Bokko guides you through readiness checks, preview, and activation from the Publish page.
Before you publish
- Display name, public contact email and address are filled in
- At least one active, online-bookable service exists
- At least one active staff member exists (this can be you)
- Opening hours have at least one open day
- Booking rules and a notification channel are configured
- You have the data controller name and privacy email at hand — you can also enter these while publishing
The full, row-by-row list and where each item is fixed is described in the Publish readiness checklist article.
Publishing steps
- In the dashboard, open the Publish page.
- Review the setup status. Every hard blocker must be resolved before activation, while warnings are only recommendations.
- Complete the preview / test-booking step if Bokko still asks for it, or if the flow changed since the last preview.
- Click Publish booking page on the Publish page.
- If you have not yet accepted the data controller terms (DPA), or the data controller name / privacy contact email is missing, complete them in the flow — without these the page cannot be activated.
If Bokko has enabled multi-location access on your account, the Publish page also shows location-level booking readiness. Bokko can show whether each location is active, publicly visible, and has the minimum setup needed for booking, such as open days, active services, active staff and a compatible schedule.
What happens after publishing?
Guests can open your public page, choose a service and a slot, then submit a booking request. Bokko marks the page as live and you can manage incoming requests from the Requests inbox.
