Stylingcorner has two parts: the public Marketplace where customers find you, and Stylingcorner PRO, your working environment with calendar, checkout and administration.
This article takes you through it once from the start: account, setup, plan and publishing. The details for each area are in the other articles.
Create an account
What you need
- A business email address
- Your business address
- Open PRO registration via “Start PRO” on the Stylingcorner PRO page.
- Enter your email address and set a password. It needs at least 10 characters with upper and lower case letters and a digit.
- Confirm your email address with the code we send you. The account cannot be used without confirmation.
- Sign in. You land in the guided setup.
Your login belongs to you personally, not to the business. Logins for your team come later — see the article on team, roles and permissions.
Claim an existing listing
Some businesses already have a basic listing on the Marketplace that Stylingcorner created. Such a listing is marked as claimable. Claiming it is free.
- Search for your business on the Marketplace and open its profile.
- Choose “Claim” and sign in with your PRO account.
- Enter the owner's name. Legal name and CHE number are optional.
- If needed, upload a document that proves ownership, for example a commercial register extract.
If the domain of your business email address matches the one stored on the listing, the claim is confirmed automatically. Free mail addresses such as Gmail, Bluewin or GMX do not count for this. Otherwise our team reviews your document. You can upload up to five files of at most 10 MB each as PDF, JPEG or PNG.
One account can run exactly one business at the moment. Several businesses under one login are not possible yet.
Work through the setup
After signing in, Stylingcorner PRO guides you through the basic setup. You enter the information your public profile and your calendar need, one step at a time.
- Business and address: name, street, postal code, town and canton.
- Category: your main category, plus optional further categories and specialties.
- Opening hours: one opening and one closing time per weekday.
- Services: at least one service with a duration and a price.
- Team: the people who appear in the calendar and can be booked.
You can leave the setup at any time and continue later. Everything you entered is kept, and every detail can be changed afterwards in the settings.
Choose Free or PRO
- Free — CHF 0
- Your profile on the Marketplace: name, description, photos, services with prices and opening hours. Customers find you but do not book online; they contact you directly.
- PRO — CHF 99 per month or CHF 990 per year
- Adds online booking, calendar, customer management, team logins, checkout, inventory, gift cards, reports and eligibility for the verified badge.
Free is not a time-limited trial but a permanent plan. You can move to PRO at any time. How payment works and when PRO actually becomes active is described in the article on subscription and invoices.
Publish your profile
Your profile only appears on the Marketplace once you publish it. Before that, only you can see it. Which information has to be complete depends on your plan and is described in “Salon profile & photos”.
- Open the “Marketplace profile” area in Stylingcorner PRO.
- Use the preview to see how your profile looks to customers.
- Complete anything marked as missing.
- Choose “Publish”.
You can take your profile offline again at any time. Nothing is lost; it is simply no longer publicly visible.
What to set up next
- Booking settings and cancellation rules, so online bookings fit your business.
- Working hours per person, so the calendar shows the right free times.
- Logins for your team, if more than one person works with Stylingcorner PRO.
- Checkout and payment methods, before you complete your first sale.
