Getting started with Clovo: your complete setup guide

Welcome to Clovo! This guide walks you through the essential steps to get your studio up and running. The Clovo Studio dashboard includes a setup checklist that tracks your progress — follow these steps in order and you’ll be accepting bookings in no time.

Step 1: Set up your studio profile

Start by completing your studio owner profile and verifying your email address. This is your admin identity in Clovo and is required before you can access most features.

Step 2: Add your instructors

Add the people who teach your classes. Each instructor gets a name, photo, and bio that clients can see when browsing your timetable. See add and manage your instructors for details.

Step 3: Add your classes

Define the types of classes you offer — for example, Reformer Pilates, Yoga Flow, or HIIT. Each class type has a name, description, duration, and capacity. See create and manage your class types.

Step 4: Create your schedule

Build your weekly timetable by assigning classes to specific days, times, locations, and instructors. Clovo will automatically generate bookable openings based on your schedule. See Schedules in Clovo.

Step 5: Add plans and packs

Create the products your clients will purchase — memberships for recurring access, credit packs for prepaid visits, or trials for newcomers. See creating a membership plan and Credit Packs in Clovo.

Step 6: Customise your branding

Upload your logo, set your brand colours, and write your studio description. These appear across the Clovo app, your landing page, and client emails. See change your branding.

Step 7: Add your waiver

Include your terms and liability waiver so clients agree to your studio policies when they sign up. See add a liability waiver.

Step 8: Connect Stripe

The final step is connecting your Stripe account to start accepting payments. Clovo never holds your money — payments go directly from your clients to your bank account via Stripe. See start accepting payment with Stripe.

What’s next?

Once you’ve completed all 8 steps, your studio will be publicly visible and ready for clients to discover. Share your landing page link on social media, update your Google Business Profile, and start spreading the word. You can manage everything on the go with the Clovo iOS app.
