Business settings: every option

Updated on Wednesday 09 September 2026

Exhaustive reference for every field on the Business Settings screen.

This is the complete reference for every field in Tools → Settings (/admin/<your-slug>/settings). For a step-by-step tutorial, see Set up your business in Quick start.

The whole screen is one single form with a single Save button at the bottom. It doesn’t save section by section: close the tab before pressing it and everything is lost.

Overview of the business settings screen

Visual identity

Field Type Required Description
Logo Upload (or the Pexels photo search) No Square image (512x512 recommended; served cropped to 160x160). Appears on your public profile, on your link-in-bio page, and as the share preview image. It does not appear in emails: those carry Citauno branding.
Cover image Upload (or the Pexels photo search) No 1600x900 recommended (we downscale to that maximum). Appears as the hero of your public page, cropped to a wide band.
Business name Text Yes Your trade name. Visible everywhere.
Description Multilingual textarea No 2-3 sentences that appear on your public page and in SEO. You can enter one version per language (es / pt / en); languages without a version fall back to the one you wrote.

Regional settings

Field Type Required Description
Business currency Search field Yes Defaults to PYG. Type the code or the name and it filters: PYG, ARS, BRL, UYU, CLP, COP, PEN, BOB, MXN, USD, EUR, GBP and several more regional currencies. Applies to all services.
Time zone Search field Yes Detected from the browser. America/Asuncion by default.

Booking rules

Field Type Required Description
Confirmation mode Selector Yes Automatic / Manual / Deposit required. See details for each below.
Slot interval Selector Yes 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Defines how often a time slot is offered on the public link.
Minimum notice Number + unit No The minimum lead time a customer can book with. Default: 180 minutes (3 hours).
Maximum days in the future Number No How far into the future bookings are accepted. Default: 14 days.
Cancellation policy Textarea No Free text that appears in the summary of every booking.

Confirmation mode details

Mode Behavior
Automatic The booking comes in as confirmed immediately. Both you and the customer receive a confirmation.
Manual The booking comes in as pending. You confirm or reject it from the dashboard. The slot is held in the meantime.
Deposit required The booking comes in as pending and the customer sees the payment button. Only once the deposit is paid does it become confirmed. Requires tpago to be connected: if it isn’t, the business falls back to manual behavior.

Public contact

Field Type Required Description
Phone Phone with country code No Appears as a clickable button on mobile.
WhatsApp Phone with country code No If filled in, a WhatsApp button appears on your public page.
Email Email No The contact email customers see. Can differ from your account email.
Website URL No If you have your own site. Helps SEO.
Instagram Text (no @) No Username only. Example: estudiopilar.
Facebook Text No The name of your Facebook page.

The six contact fields appear on the public page if you fill them in and don’t appear if you leave them blank. There is no per-field switch to enter a detail and hide it.

Online payments (deposit or full amount)

Field Type Required Description
Accept online payments Checkbox No Off by default. Requires tpago connected; if it isn’t, the section shows a notice linking to Online payments (tpago).
Charge mode Selector No No charge / percentage deposit / fixed-amount deposit / full amount.
Deposit percentage Number (1-100) Percentage mode only Pre-filled with 30 if you’ve never set one.
Fixed deposit amount Number Fixed mode only In the business currency.

This is the business’s default policy; each service can override it from its own form.

Commissions

Field Type Required Description
Default commission Number (0-100, up to 2 decimals) No Percentage of what each professional bills. Fine-tune it per professional and per service from Commissions.

Owner notifications

Field Type Required Description
Receive emails for new bookings Checkbox No Off by default. You turn it on from this same screen, in the New-booking notifications section.
Notification email Email No If you leave it blank we use your account email. You can enter a different one so it goes to a shared inbox.

This section is only the notice to you. The reminders to the customer — whether they go by email, by WhatsApp, and how far ahead — aren’t configured here: they live in Tools → WhatsApp → Reminders.

Public visibility

Field Type Required Description
Show on home and searches (listed) Checkbox No If checked, your business appears on the citauno.com home page, in internal search, and on category pages. If you uncheck it, it becomes undiscoverable, but your public booking page stays reachable via direct link.
Accept online bookings from the public (public_bookings_enabled) Checkbox No Controls whether anyone can book from the public link. If you uncheck it, your profile at citauno.com/your-business still responds normally (with the book button disabled and the page marked “noindex”), and /businesses/your-business/book redirects to the profile with the notice “This business isn’t available for online booking right now.” Use this option if you want Citauno purely as an internal management system.
Allow bookings without an account (guest_bookings_enabled) Checkbox No Only shown where the feature is enabled for your business. If on, customers can book without creating an account.
Show professional selection Checkbox No If checked, the booking flow includes a step for choosing a professional. If not, that step isn’t shown and the system assigns an available one.

The two visibility checkboxes are independent, but the marketplace listing requires both. Combinations:

  • Both on (default): fully public and discoverable business.
  • listed off, public_bookings_enabled on: business out of the marketplace but still takes bookings via direct link (soft launch, private clients).
  • public_bookings_enabled off: internal management mode — only your team creates bookings from the admin.
  • listed on with public_bookings_enabled off: it still won’t appear in the listing. The marketplace filter requires listed and public_bookings_enabled at the same time, so turning bookings off removes you from the listing even with the other box checked.

Marketplace categories

Field Type Required Description
Categories Multi-select No The categories you belong to (hair salon, spa, etc.). If yours doesn’t exist, choose “Other” and describe it.

Billing

Field Type Required Description
RUC Text Only if you invoice Your RUC without dashes. Example: 80012345.
DV (check digit) Text (1 char) Only if you invoice The check digit of the RUC.
Legal name Text Only if you invoice The legal name of the business.
Tax address Text Only if you invoice The address registered with SET.
City Text Only if you invoice The city registered with SET.

Manager No. Landing there sends them back to the dashboard with a permissions notice.
