Who this is for: new studio operators · Product: Podyx V2
Welcome to Podyx. Before you dive into settings, here is the mental model that makes everything else click: what the platform is, the two sides you will work with, and the order to set things up.

Video walkthrough coming soon.
🧭 The two sides of Podyx
Podyx is really two surfaces that work together:
Your admin panel (Studio OS): where you run the studio. Catalog, calendar, availability, sessions, clients, payments, settings. This is your cockpit.
Your booking page: the public page clients use to find a time, pick a service, and pay. Everything you set in the admin panel shapes what they see here.
Open your live booking page anytime from the account menu, then Go to Booking Page.
🗺 What lives where
The left-hand menu groups everything you manage:
Dashboard: performance at a glance.
Calendar, Availability, Sessions, Conflicts, Blocked Slots: your schedule.
Base Services, Additional Services, Rooms, Setups, File Transfer: your catalog.
Bundle Plans, Subscription Plans, Promo Codes, Pricing Rules: packages and pricing.
Clients, Guests: the people you serve.
Purchases, Invoices: the money side.
Roles, Audit: your team and an activity trail.
Settings: studio details, payment, notifications, branding, integrations.

🚦 Where to start
Setting up for the first time? Follow the First-Time Setup guide. It walks you through everything in the right order so your booking page goes live correctly the first time.
🧠 Why this matters
Once you hold the two-sides model in your head (configure the cockpit, and the public page takes care of clients), Podyx stops feeling like a maze and starts feeling like a system you control. That confidence is what lets you run more bookings with less effort.
✅ Summary
Two sides: the admin panel where you run things, and the booking page where clients book. Set up the first, and the second works for you.
