Set your booking page URL, time zone, and currency
The three workspace settings everything else is built on — your public booking address, the time zone your hours are read in, and the currency new prices are created in — and why the URL is the one to get right first.
Three settings sit underneath everything else in Calso: the web address clients book you at, the time zone your working hours are read in, and the currency your prices are created in. They take about a minute to set, and one of them is much easier to get right now than to change later.
All three live in the same place. Open Settings from the sidebar and stay on the General tab — it is the one Calso opens by default — and the first card, headed Workspace, holds all three fields and the Save button that applies them.
Your Booking Page URL
Booking Page URL is the short name at the end of your public address. If you
set it to jamie-rivers, your booking page is at calso.io/jamie-rivers, and
every event type link is that same address with the event type's own short name
on the end, such as calso.io/jamie-rivers/discovery-call. Calso shows the full
address in grey underneath the field as you type, so you can see exactly what
you are building.
The field only accepts lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and it tidies
what you type as you go: capitals drop to lowercase, spaces and punctuation
become hyphens, and runs of hyphens collapse into one. So "Jamie Rivers
Coaching" becomes jamie-rivers-coaching on its own.
A moment after you stop typing, Calso checks the name and tells you what it found: a green tick and Available if it is free, a red cross and Not Available if it is not. A grey tick means you are looking at the address you already have.
Some names come back Not Available even though nobody appears to be using
them. Words Calso uses for its own pages — help, pricing, booking,
settings and others like them — are reserved, as is a further set of held-back
names. If you try to save one anyway, the message reads This username is not
available. That is the same field: the error calls it a username, the setting
calls it your Booking Page URL. Something specific to you — your name, or
your name and your city — clears the check almost every time.
Changing your URL after you have shared it
If what you actually want is your own web address rather than a Calso one, you do not need to touch this field at all — you can point your own domain at your booking page and leave the Booking Page URL as it is.
Your workspace time zone
Timezone is the zone Calso reads every working hour in. Your weekly availability is stored as plain clock times, so a block that runs 9:00 to 17:00 means nine to five here — in whichever zone this field is set to. Change the zone and the same block describes a different stretch of the real day.
The dropdown lists the commonly used zones by name, city, and offset, so Toronto reads as Eastern Time (ET) — Toronto · UTC-5. Pick the city you actually work from. If yours is not on the list, choose the nearest listed city that keeps the same clock time and the same daylight-saving changeovers as you.
Clients never have to work any of this out. Your booking page opens in whatever time zone their own device is set to, with a picker they can change, so the times they see are already their times. Your side of it — the dashboard, your calendar events, and your availability hours — runs on the zone you set here. If you move, change the zone and then reopen your weekly availability hours to check they still describe the days you want to work.
Your default currency
Default Currency sets the currency every new price is created in. Six are supported, shown by code and symbol: CAD (CA$), USD ($), GBP (£), EUR (€), AUD (A$), and NZD (NZ$). It is also the currency shown on the Payments tab under your Stripe account details, so this is the setting that decides what your clients are charged in.
It applies going forward, not backward. Event types, package offerings, and products keep the currency they were created in, so switching the default later leaves everything you have already priced exactly as it was. Discount codes are the exception and need no thought: what you type into one is a number of cents, and those cents come off whatever currency that session is sold in. Set this before you price your first session and you will never have to think about it again.
Set all three and save
- Open the General tab
Click Settings in the sidebar. Calso opens on the General tab, and the Workspace card sits at the top of the left column.
- Choose your Booking Page URL
Type the short name you want in Booking Page URL and read the full address forming underneath it. Wait a beat for the check beside the field to settle on Available before you move on.
- Set your time zone and currency
Pick the city you work from in Timezone, then pick the currency you charge in from Default Currency.
- Save the card
Click Save. It briefly reads Saved! when the change is stored — until then nothing on this card has been applied.
- Copy your finished link
In the right-hand column, under the Sidebar Preview, the Booking URL panel shows your live address. Click it and it copies the whole link to your clipboard, reading Copied! for a couple of seconds.
One Save button per card
The General tab stacks several cards down the page, and each has its own save button that stores only its own fields. Save on the Workspace card covers exactly the three settings in this article and nothing else, so editing a card further down and pressing this button quietly loses that other change. Work one card at a time and save it before you scroll on — fill in the profile clients see covers the cards below this one and which button belongs to each.
If you dismissed the setup checklist without finishing it, you will also find Reopen setup guide at the very bottom of this tab — see work through the Setup Guide checklist.
With your address settled, the next card down is what clients actually read when they land on it. Carry on with fill in the profile clients see.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to links I have already shared if I change my Booking Page URL?
They stop working immediately. Calso does not forward the old address to the new one, so anything already in an email signature, a social bio, a printed card, or an embed on your website will fail — and because every event type link is built on top of your Booking Page URL, all of those break too. Change it before the address is out in the world, and if you do change it later, re-copy and re-post every link afterwards.
Why does Calso say my booking page URL is not available when nothing is using it?
Some short names are held back even though no one has taken them. Words that Calso itself uses as page addresses — such as help, pricing, or booking — are reserved, and a small set of other names is held back too. The message reads "This username is not available." even though the field is called Booking Page URL. Pick something more specific to you, such as your name and your city, and the live check beside the field will confirm it with Available.
Does changing my workspace time zone move sessions that are already booked?
No. Bookings that already exist keep the exact moment in time they were made for. What changes is how your weekly availability hours are read — those are stored as clock times, so a 9:00 to 17:00 block means 9:00 to 17:00 in whatever time zone the workspace is set to. If you move, update the time zone and then check your availability hours still describe the days you actually want to work.
Can I price different sessions in different currencies?
Not from the Default Currency setting — it applies one currency to everything new you create. Each event type, package offering, and product stores the currency it was created in, so anything you have already priced keeps that currency when you change the default. Set the currency you want before you start pricing, and everything you build afterwards will match.
