Your first week on YourADI

The Get-Started checklist

New accounts land on a dashboard with a Get-Started checklist in the sidebar. The checklist contains the seven items below. Each one is read from your live account state — tick a step in real life and the checklist ticks itself.

1. Add your lesson catalogue

In Settings → Catalogue add one entry for each lesson type you actually sell — a 1-hour lesson, a 2-hour lesson, an EDT module, a pre-test, whatever you already advertise to your students. Each entry carries a name, duration and price. The catalogue is what populates the lesson picker on your storefront.

2. Set your weekly availability

In Settings → Availability set the recurring weekly pattern of when you can teach. The pattern is the baseline; you can block out one-off dates from the calendar for anything that breaks it.

Two things to set alongside the pattern: the buffer between lessons (for travel between students), and the minimum notice a booking has to give you (for example, four hours' notice so a last-minute booking can't catch you mid-lesson).

3. Choose your cancellation policy

In Settings → Cancellation decide what happens when a student needs to cancel inside your notice window: keep the money as a lesson credit on their account, or refund it to the original card. Set your notice window in hours. Both the policy and the window are written into every booking confirmation the student receives, so there is never a question about what the rules were.

The full reasoning behind each pattern is in the upfront-payments guide.

4. Publish your storefront

In Settings → Storefront pick your slug (the part after the slash in youradi.ie/your-slug), upload a photo, write a short bio about who you are and where you teach, and flip the storefront live. Once it is live, anyone with the link can book a lesson.

You can see a published storefront in action at youradi.ie/your-name (opens in a new tab) before you publish your own — useful for showing a colleague what they are signing up for.

5. Confirm your subscription

Your YourADI subscription is what gives you the dashboard, the storefront, and everything else covered by these guides. It runs at €20 per instructor per month, locked for five years. School owners pay one bill for the whole school; each instructor in the school counts as one seat.

6. Connect your payouts

In Settings → Billing connect the bank account that should receive card payments from your students. This is a one-time setup, and until it is done your storefront cannot take live bookings.

7. Share your link

The final step on the checklist is to actually share your link. Drop your youradi.ie/your-slug URL into your Instagram bio, WhatsApp status, business cards, car decal, and email signature. The step ticks automatically the first time a booking comes through your link — or you can mark it done manually from the checklist.

What happens after the checklist

Once every step is ticked, the checklist tells you you're done and offers a Dismiss button at the bottom. Tapping it removes the entry from your sidebar so you can get on with running the platform. From here, the rest of the help centre is reference: dig into the use-case guide for whichever job is in front of you next.

If you dismiss the checklist before finishing the steps, the same seven items are documented above — you can come back to this page any time to pick up where you left off.
