5-minute quickstart

Five minutes, four steps. By the end you'll have a live configurator on your site and a test lead in your dashboard. Nothing here requires a card.

1. Create your account

Sign up at quote.innkept.com/register. We'll ask for your name, email, password, and the name of your venue or catering business. Every new account starts with a 30-day free trial — the full product, capped at 5 leads/month and 1 location — enough to validate the demand on your site before paying for anything. No card required.

You'll be asked to verify your email. Open the inbox, click the link, you're in.

2. Add a location

From the dashboard, open Locations → Add location. Fill in:

• Name — what guests will see, e.g. "Fettlewood Barn".
• Address — used on the proposal and for directions.
• Capacity range — minimum and maximum guest count this venue takes.
• Event types — wedding, corporate, private dining, birthday, other.

If you only operate from one venue, you only need one location and the configurator will skip the location-picker step.

3. Add at least one product and one menu

The configurator needs something to sell. The fastest path is:

• Products → New — add "Venue hire" as flat at your hire fee, marked default so it's pre-selected.
• Menus → New — name it ("Wedding feast 2026" or similar), then add a couple of menu items as per_guest.

4. Paste the embed snippet on your site

Open Embed in the dashboard. You'll see two lines of HTML:

<div id="innkept-quote"></div>
<script src="https://quote.innkept.com/embed/v1/loader.js"
        data-key="pk_live_xxx"
        async></script>

Paste them anywhere in your HTML — usually on a /book or /enquire page. The widget mounts into the div and inherits its width. Platform-specific guides: Squarespace, Wix, WordPress.

5. Submit a test lead

Open the page on your site (or use the dashboard's preview link). Walk through the configurator yourself with your own email — pick a date a few months out, choose a menu, fill in the contact form.

Within seconds you should see:

• A new entry in Leads with status new.
• A new entry in Quotes with the full breakdown — subtotal, VAT, total.
• A proposal link at /p/{token} — click it to see what your guest will see.

What's next

• Connect a calendar so guests can't pick dates you're already booked: Calendars & availability.
• Connect a CRM so leads show up where your team already works: How push works.
• Add a pricing plan covering your weekend uplift, peak-season pricing, lead-time inflation and key dates — all in one place: Pricing plans.
