If you're looking for a guide on how to use DINGG app for the first time, you're in the right place. This walkthrough is designed specifically for DINGG for new users and business owners who want to know how to set up salon software without the headache.


We'll show you how to launch your business on DINGG and get ready for online bookings in under an hour. This is the essential first step in getting started with DINGG.


Before You Begin

To make this process as smooth and fast as possible, please have the following information ready:

  • Your DINGG.app login details.
  • A list of the services you offer, including the standard price and duration for each.
  • The names of your staff members who will be providing services.

Step 1: Add Business Details to DINGG

First, let's tell DINGG who you are. This information will appear on your booking page and client communications. This is a critical step for all DINGG for business owners.

  1. From the main dashboard, navigate to the Settings menu.
  2. Select Business Profile.
  3. Fill in the essential fields: Business Name, Address, and Phone Number.
  4. Click on Upload Logo and select your logo file from your computer.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Step 2: Create Your Service Menu

Now, let's add the services your clients can book. You can start with your most popular ones and add more later.

  1. In the main menu, navigate to Settings > Service Management.
  2. Click the Add New Service button.
  3. In the window that appears, enter the Service Name (e.g., "Women's Haircut"), the Price, and the Duration (e.g., 60 minutes).
  4. Click Save.
  5. Repeat for your top 5-10 services.

Step 3: Add Staff Members to DINGG

DINGG needs to know who provides your services. Let's add staff members to DINGG and link them to your services.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Staff Management.
  2. Click Add Staff Member.
  3. Enter the staff member's Name and Title (e.g., "Senior Stylist").
  4. In the "Services" section for that staff member, check the boxes next to all the services they are qualified to perform. This links them to the service menu you just created.
  5. Click Save.

Step 4: Configure Your Business & Staff Hours

Set your opening times so clients know when they can book.

  1. Go to Settings > Working Hours.
  2. First, set the main Business Hours for your salon for each day of the week. This is your general availability.
  3. Next, click on each individual staff member's name to view their personal calendar. Here, you can adjust their specific shifts, add breaks, or block out time off. By default, they will follow the main business hours.
  4. Ensure you click Save after setting your hours.

Step 5: Activate and Share Your Booking Page

This is the final and most exciting step! Let's make your booking page live.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Online Booking.
  2. You will see your unique DINGG booking page URL. Click the Copy Link button.
  3. Make sure the Enable Online Booking toggle is switched to the "On" position.
  4. Paste your copied link into your Instagram bio, your Facebook page, or on your website. You're ready to take bookings!

You're Live!

Congratulations! Your business is now live on DINGG.app. You have a professional online booking page that clients can access 24/7 to book appointments directly into your calendar, which is now fully set up with your services and staff.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


What if my service prices or durations vary?

You can set a base price and duration here. For more complex pricing (e.g., based on staff seniority or product usage), you can create different versions of the same service in the Service Management menu.


How do I test my booking page before sharing it with clients?

Simply copy your booking page URL and open it in a new "Incognito" or "Private" browser window. This lets you see exactly what your clients will see and even make a test booking without being logged in as an admin.


Can I set different working hours for different days for my staff?

Yes. In Settings > Working Hours, after selecting a staff member, you can set unique start times, end times, and breaks for each day of the week to match their specific schedule.


Can I import my existing client list?

Absolutely. Migrating your client data is a crucial step. Look for our guide, "How to Migrate Your Client Data to DINGG," or contact our support team for assistance.
