In the Basics settings page, fill in important details about your venue. Your users will see this information in various places, such as email communications, informative pop-ups, and more!

Check out the FAQs section if you run into a tricky situation!


Venue Name

Choose a very clear venue name, but try to keep this short - 40 characters max. Your users will see this name everywhere!

The short venue name is for mobile screens. We recommend an abbreviation or acronym of your venue name - 10 characters max!

Venue Contact Details

Email, Phone, Address, Website

The phone number, address, and website information are all shown as part of your venue's contact information in the app pop-ups and emails. Below is an example of how this will appear to users if they try to make a booking while in read-only mode.

The region you select for the phone number will be the default selected region for your users when they enter their phone number.

The contact email is also used for venue notifications.

Business Number

This number is shown to users at the bottom of your Skedda schedule. It's not used for any other purpose. See BIZ123 in the example gif below:

Subdomain

It's possible to change your venue subdomain up to 5 times. It must only contain letters and numbers.

Entering helpcenter, for example, will make your account URL https://helpcenter.skedda.com.

Enter the new subdomain you'd like and click 'Change subdomain'. The change will occur instantaneously and your previous subdomain(s) will redirect to your new one.


FAQs

Can I remove Skedda from the domain? Can I use my own domain?

No, we currently don't support the ability to use your own domain (e.g. mydomain.com) for your Skedda account. This is primarily for security reasons (i.e. the requirement for a valid SSL certificate for secure HTTPS communication).

You can however embed your Skedda scheduler in your website. Learn more here!

The subdomain I want isn't available. What can I do?

Chances are it's already been taken by someone else. In that case, you'll have to pick a different one. Try ____bookings.skedda.com or ____reservations.skedda.com.

If you have a really unique venue subdomain and you think there's been a mistake, for example, someone else in your organization has also created a venue, please reach out to us in the chat widget.

I can't get the subdomain I want on the venue I've been working on because I created multiple venues while testing things out. Can you help?

Yes! Reach out to us in the chat widget. We can help delete the account you're not going to use and switch over the subdomain with the help of our technical team.

Can I have two subdomains (multiple venues) under one email address? Can I set up multiple venues on Skedda?

Yes! You can read more about this here.

Can I change my venue name?

Yep! This is the first field in the 'Basics' settings page under 'Contact'.
