Getting started with Helm

Create your Free booking Site

Create your account and verify your email. Enter your business country and name, add your first service and its duration, then choose at least one open day and your opening hours.

Free includes a published Site, custom-domain support, unlimited bookings, one staff seat, and customer profiles with booking history. There is no expiry, and you do not need a card or tax ID to start. Customers book online and pay you directly.

Finish setup and wait for your Site to be ready before sharing its public booking link. If setup is delayed, select Check again. If it cannot finish, use Email support instead of creating another account.

Go to Overview

Sign in to Helm and open Overview. Start with your booking journey: confirm your service details and hours, then open the public booking link you will share with customers.

Customize further when you need to

Your first website is already published after setup. Adding pages, photos, and styling is optional; update them when you are ready.

Starter includes Website, Forms, Menu, Bookings, Customers, Follow-ups, Invoices, Receipts, Overview, and Insights. Growth also includes Store and Orders, Reviews, Waitlist, Blog, and Link Page.

Save, publish, and check the result

Save your changes, publish anything customers need to see, then open the public link on your phone. Complete the journey as a customer and confirm the result appears in Helm.

Upgrade when you need more

Open Settings → Billing to choose Starter or Growth when you need paid tools. Your existing Site and customer records stay with you when you upgrade, including existing custom-domain configuration.

Paid checkout asks for business tax or registration details and a card. Paid plans begin without a trial; check the price and billing interval before paying. Cancelling or failing checkout leaves your Free Site live.

First-day checklist

Verify your email and finish Free setup with one service and at least one open day.
Add your business name, contact details, hours, and location or service area.
Share your ready booking link; add a menu, form, or store later if your plan includes it.
Complete the journey once from a customer’s point of view.
Check that the booking and customer appear in Helm.
