Selstack is a platform for creators and businesses to build a public selling page, share individual offers, accept supported payments and bookings, and manage the resulting orders and customer details. A “Stack” is a selling page. This guide explains the relevant workflow and the seller’s responsibilities; payment methods, account requirements and some features depend on the business configuration and plan.
Services need a defined scope and a reliable scheduling or follow-up step. Use the flow that matches whether the customer should pay, enquire or book.
Follow the workflow
- Step 1: Describe the outcome, duration, included work, turnaround and boundaries.
- Step 2: Choose Service or Appointment for expertise, or Lead form when you need to qualify the enquiry before quoting.
- Step 3: Configure availability, location and preparation questions if the offer includes a meeting.
- Step 4: Preview the confirmation message and explain when the customer will receive the next contact.
Confirm the result
Confirm scope, price, time zone, location, cancellation terms and confirmation.
Important: Do not leave meeting location or delivery timing to be discovered after payment.
Troubleshoot and get help
Take note of the business name, page, time and any non-sensitive reference or safe error message. Contact Selstack support without sending passwords, one-time codes, identity information, full bank details or card information.
Connect the service promise to the booking
Selstack supports service offers and time-based bookings, but they solve different customer needs. A service page can describe a project or piece of work without asking the customer to choose a time immediately. An appointment connects a defined service to availability and a booking process. A service menu can present several bookable services and applicable deposits. Choose the structure that reflects how the business actually delivers the work. The page should help a customer understand whether they are buying a finished outcome, reserving time or requesting a conversation about a larger project.
Define what is included and what is separate
Write the service in terms a customer can recognise: the duration, deliverables, preparation, number of participants and the follow-up they should expect. A consultation might include one conversation and a short written summary; a design service might include specific files and a stated revision process. These are examples of promises the business must define, not universal Selstack package rules. Explain what falls outside the price. If the work needs a proposal after the first conversation, say so before the customer books rather than suggesting the session includes the entire project.
Set realistic capacity and timing
Review the time required to prepare, deliver and follow up, not only the visible appointment length. Availability should reflect the hours the business can genuinely offer. Check the appointment’s time zone and how it appears to a visitor in another location. Avoid copying a date from an informal message without confirming the zone. If a service is delivered remotely, explain how joining instructions will reach the customer. If it is in person, provide the practical location information and any relevant access arrangements through the supported booking process.
Explain the amount and payment expectation
Make the service price and currency clear. An appointment paid in full is different from a service that takes a deposit or requires a later quote. Describe the selected arrangement accurately and review the customer-facing summary before publication. Do not use a free enquiry form while telling the customer that submitting it automatically confirms a paid booking. Likewise, a failed or incomplete payment attempt should not be treated as proof that the customer has secured a session. Use the status shown on the relevant booking and payment records when deciding what is confirmed.
Ask questions that help you prepare
Collect the information required to deliver the service well. A useful question might establish the topic the customer wants to discuss, a project deadline or a relevant preference. Avoid asking for an entire history when a short preparation note will do. Do not request account passwords, one-time codes or full payment credentials in a booking form. If sensitive professional information is necessary for the service, use an appropriate process and explain its purpose. A clearer intake process can improve the session without turning a straightforward booking into an unnecessarily long questionnaire.
Test confirmation from the customer’s side
Inspect the public booking page while signed out and on a mobile screen. Check the service name, duration, currency, available dates and final action. Use an authorised test to review the booking confirmation and the information the customer can retrieve afterwards. Confirm that a booking is attached to the intended business and service. If you use a calendar or meeting integration, verify the connected account and the resulting event rather than assuming that selecting an integration proves the hand-off works. Keep a practical support route available for missing joining instructions.
Prepare a dependable follow-up
After the service, deliver any promised notes, files or next steps through the agreed channel. Keep the follow-up consistent with the offer: a summary should not suddenly become an unannounced ongoing subscription, and a project discussion should not be reported as a completed project. Explain a proposed additional service as a separate choice. For a customer who needs to change a booking, refer to the terms and available controls rather than improvising a different rule in every conversation. Clear records make it easier for another authorised team member to help.
Improve the offer from real sessions
Review questions customers ask before booking, preparation that repeatedly takes longer than expected, and follow-up tasks that are not covered by the current price. Use that evidence to clarify the description or redesign the package. A service can be profitable on paper but difficult to deliver reliably if its scope is vague. Selstack connects the offer and booking workflow; the business still needs a realistic service model, accurate availability and a clear owner for every confirmed customer commitment.
