Linked accounts allows independent contractors full control of their own Schedulicity account. It provides a way to link up to the other booth renters in a group salon and making it easy for clients to locate your listing 👯

Setting your account role
First, choose your account role. This helps Schedulicity understand how your business is related to the accounts you're linking to! You can determine your account role under Settings > Linked Accounts. Roles include:
Owner
Choose this role if you are the owner of the larger salon space and you have independent contractors renting out booths/ suites within your space.
Shared Studio
Choose this role if you are the business license owner and rent out a studio space at a larger salon that shares space with another independent contractor.
Booth Renter
Choose this role if you're an independent contractor at a salon that rents out a booth or suite.
Linking accounts
Once you've determined what your account role is, you're ready to link. Here's how:
From Settings, click on Linked Accounts
Click Add Link
Use the drop-down menu to search by business name, admin email, or phone
Enter in your search terms and Search
Select the business from the search results, and confirm by clicking Send Request
Requests will be sorted into Pending Requests and Active Links. You can cancel a pending request by clicking Cancel Request.
The admin of the other account will be sent a request to link their business. They will have the ability to accept or decline your request. Here's how they can do that:
Go to Settings, click Linked Accounts
Under Pending requests click Accept
❗ Linked Accounts will not allow you to see each other's calendars. If you need to book appointments for other accounts, take a peek at our Multiple Locations feature!
Shared Marketplace business listing
When accounts are linked, providers have their own business listing (and if someone searches just for you, your listing will pop right up). The shared listing looks like this 👇
The name and logo at the top can be customized by the Owner or Shared Studio role here: Settings > Linked Accounts. Clicking Schedule Now by any linked businesses on this page will bring the client to that account's business listing to schedule.
Unlinking accounts
Follow these steps to unlink the accounts:
Click the three lines in the top left and choose Settings
Click on Linked Accounts
Under Active Links, click "Unlink" beside the account you would like to unlink from
Confirm!
