Who this is for: studio operators (admin panel) · Product: Podyx V2
Welcome to Podyx. This is a five-minute orientation to how the platform thinks, because once the underlying model clicks, everything else in the admin panel becomes obvious.
🧱 The model, in four layers
Rooms are your physical spaces. Clients never see them. They exist so a space can never be sold twice.
Setups are the versions of a room clients actually see and book, like scenes inside the same four walls.
Base services are the core thing being bought, usually the session itself, priced to be attractive.
Additional services are the extras stacked on top, and they are where most of your margin lives.
💡 Think of an airline. The room is the aircraft, the setup is the cabin you are sold, the base service is the ticket, and the add-ons are everything that makes the flight better. Airlines make their money on the last one, and so will you.
🗺 What everything else does
Availability and the calendar decide when those setups can be booked.
Pricing tools (dynamic pricing, bundles, subscriptions, promo codes, credits) decide what people pay.
Sessions, clients and guests are how you run the day and remember who everyone is.
Payments, invoicing and purchases handle the money and the paperwork.
Your landing page, branding and embeds are the shopfront.
Notifications, integrations and collaboration automate everything around the session itself.
🚀 Where to start
Go to First-Time Setup. It walks you through the order that works, from your studio profile to your first test booking. Following that order saves you from the most common mistake, which is building services before the rooms and setups they need to attach to.
✅ Summary
Rooms hold setups, setups carry services, services collect add-ons. Everything else in Podyx supports selling, scheduling or delivering that. Start with First-Time Setup and build in order.
