✅ Step 1: Open your booking page

In your Dashboard, click View next to the booking page you want to test. It opens your live booking page in a new tab.

✅ Step 2: Book like a client

1. Pick a date and a time.
2. Fill in the booking form. Use an email address you can check, ideally a different one from your Koalendar account, so you receive the client's emails.
3. Confirm the booking.

✅ Step 3: Check everything

• The confirmation page your client sees.
• The confirmation email sent to the client.
• Your new booking notification.
• The event in your calendar, with the video link if you use Zoom, Google Meet or Teams.
• The booking in your Bookings tab.

✅ Step 4: Cancel the test booking

Go to Bookings, open the test booking and cancel it. The time slot becomes available again.

💡 Best Practices

• Test on your phone too: most clients book from mobile.
• Testing a paid page? Pay with your own card and refund yourself from Stripe, or turn off payments while you test.
• Testing a page with Require Approval? Your booking will be pending until you accept it.
