Your customer portal URL is important, this is the link you will give to your customers so they can go to your site. To find your link go to your Company Settings > Online Booking > General Options.

Once you insert your business name and click Create Account you can not change your ULR again so make sure its a URL that you can give to your customers.

Once you have set up your URL, it will look like this under the font and button colors.
