Getting Started with ReservKit
From account creation to your first live booking in under 30 minutes. This guide walks you through every step of the initial setup.
Create your account
Go to app.reservkit.com and click "Sign up." Enter your email and a password — no credit card required.
Once you confirm your email, you'll be taken directly into the onboarding flow. Your account starts on a free 14-day Growth trial so you can explore every feature before deciding on a plan.
The free tier (after the trial) allows up to 50 bookings per month with a 4% platform fee per booking. You can upgrade at any time from the Billing page.
Set up your organization
The onboarding wizard asks for your business name, business type (rental, tour, experience, etc.), and timezone. This information is used on your public booking page and in customer communications.
You can update your organization details at any time from Settings → Organization. Add your logo, set your booking rules (minimum lead time, max advance booking days, cancellation policy), and configure your notification preferences.
If you're running multiple locations or brands, each organization in ReservKit is fully independent — you can create additional organizations from the top-left dropdown after setup.
Add your first activity
Go to Activities and click "New activity." Give it a name, description, and duration. Activities are the bookable products your customers see on your booking page — examples include "2-Hour Kayak Rental," "Sunset Paddleboard Tour," or "Half-Day Boat Charter."
Under the Availability tab, set the days and time windows when this activity can be booked. You can create recurring weekly schedules or block off specific dates.
Under the Pricing tab, set your base price per guest. You can add a deposit amount (collected at booking), configure group pricing tiers, and create add-ons (e.g., wetsuits, life jackets, photography packages).
Under the Waivers tab, attach a liability waiver template if required for your activity. Guests sign digitally after payment — no paper required.
Connect Stripe
Go to Settings → Payments and click "Connect Stripe." You'll be redirected to Stripe to create or link your Stripe account. ReservKit uses Stripe Connect, which means payments go directly to your Stripe account — ReservKit never holds your money.
Once connected, your Stripe account status will show "Connected" and your public booking page will be live and ready to accept payments.
The platform fee (4% on the free plan, 2% on Starter, 1% on Growth) is automatically deducted from each transaction at checkout — there's nothing you need to configure.
Share your booking link
Every organization has a unique public booking link at app.reservkit.com/book/[your-slug]. Share this URL directly with customers, add it to your website, Instagram bio, Google Business profile, or anywhere else you promote your business.
The booking page shows all your published activities, available times, and handles the full checkout flow — guests pick a time, add guests, pay, and receive an automatic email confirmation.
You can also embed the booking widget as an iframe on your existing website. The embed code is available under Settings → Booking Page.
