Who this is for: studio operators (admin panel) · Plan: mixed, see each tab · Product: Podyx V2
Studio Settings is where your studio gets its rules, its look and its paperwork. There are fourteen tabs and you do not need all of them on day one. This page is the map: what each tab is for, where to read more, and where to jump to in the walkthrough video.

🗺 The fourteen tabs at a glance

⚠️ Set your currency on the Payment tab before you price anything, and get your invoice numbering right before you issue your first invoice. Both are painful to change later.
🛡 Security
This tab controls how much of your CMS the Podyx support team can see. You choose one of three levels:
Full access — support can inspect your CMS to fix a bug or resolve an issue.
Read-only access — support can look but not change anything.
No access — support cannot see your CMS at all.
💡 Turn full access on when you have raised a problem and need it investigated, then turn it back down. It is your data, and the narrower setting is the safer default.
📜 Terms & Conditions
This is your customer agreement and booking contract, so treat it seriously. You enter two versions:
Short T&C — the summary shown inline at checkout.
Long T&C — the full terms.
Both appear during checkout, and the client must tick both boxes before they can pay. Check that both display correctly before you go live, because this is the agreement you would rely on if a booking ever went wrong.
📣 Marketing
Everything here shapes how your studio looks outside Podyx:
Website title and description — what shows in the browser tab and in search results.
Share image — the preview picture when someone posts your link.
Google Tag ID — for tracking and analytics.
Social links — these appear in your page footer.
Verify every link and tracking value before launch. A wrong tag ID means you collect nothing and will not notice for weeks.
✨ AI Briefing
AI Briefing sends you a daily prep email built from your own client and guest records. Set a schedule, for example every morning at 8:00, and the briefing arrives covering upcoming bookings, client preferences and guest details.
It is only as good as what you feed it, so enrich your profiles with private notes, background notes, social links and podcast links. The richer the profile, the more useful the briefing.
💡 This is what lets a session start with "how did the Berlin show go" instead of "so what are we recording today". Small thing, big difference to how your studio feels.
✅ A sensible setup order
If you are starting from scratch, work through it in this order: General, then Payment (currency first), then Booking, then Notifications, then Appearance and Landing Page, then Terms & Conditions. Those six get you live. Team, Security, Custom domain, Marketing, Integrations, AI Briefing and Invoicing can follow once bookings are coming in.
