    How to set up your Booking Page in Dumpster Controls

    The Booking Page section is the control center for your online storefront. It shows your shareable links, the LIVE/PAUSED switch, and the configuration tabs.

    Before you start

    • An admin account with access to the Booking Page section
    • At least one dumpster size registered in Inventory
    1. 1

      Open the Booking Page section

      In the left menu, click "Booking Page". The page header reads "Booking Page" with the subtitle "Your online ordering system and storefront".

    2. 2

      Copy your links

      The hero card "Your Online Booking System" shows your "Booking URL" (your hosted booking page, https://dumpstercontrols.io/book?company=your-slug) with a copy button, plus your own "Website" when you have one saved in Appearance. Share the Booking URL on Instagram, Google Business, or send it directly.

    3. 3

      Turn Online Booking on

      Use the "Online Booking" switch in the status card. When live, the badge shows "LIVE" and the text reads "Your booking page is live. Customers can place orders." When off, it shows "PAUSED" with "Booking is paused. No new orders will be accepted online." The switch requires an approved Stripe payout account.

    4. 4

      Work through the configuration tabs

      Right below the hero card, the "Put online booking on YOUR website" section walks you through installing the booking widget on your own site in three steps. Five tabs cover the rest of the setup: "Appearance", "Delivery Coverage", "Promo Codes", "Rental Agreement", and "Advanced". Each one is covered by its own guide.

    5. 5

      Jump anywhere with the quick-nav bar

      A sticky bar of shortcut pills sits at the top of the page: "Links & Status", "Install Widget", "Appearance", "Holidays", "Coverage", "Promos", "Agreement", and "Advanced". Click a pill to jump straight to that part of the page. Pills for tabs switch the tab for you, and the active tab's pill stays highlighted.

    What happens next

    • Open your Booking URL in a private browser window to see exactly what customers see.

    Troubleshooting

    The Online Booking switch is grayed out.

    Your Stripe payout account is not connected or not approved yet. Follow the "Connect Stripe" prompt. See the guide on activating online booking with Stripe.

    My booking page says "Booking Unavailable".

    The page could not load your company by its slug. Confirm you are using the exact "Booking URL" copied from the Booking Page section.
