Facility Web Pages

Facility Web Pages overview

Understand the customer-facing facility pages, registration forms, marketplace pages, embeds, and checkout flows.

What you will accomplish

After you work through this section, your facility will have clear, tested links that send each person to the right place. Prospects can learn about you and request storage. Existing customers can sign in to their portal. Vendors can submit invoices. Shoppers can view marketplace items. Your team will not need to re-explain the same steps by phone.

  • Know which public link to share with prospects, customers, vendors, and website visitors.
  • Set up your public facility page so it looks professional on desktop and mobile.
  • Turn on registration, marketplace, and vendor invoice flows your team is ready to support.
  • Test every link in a private browser window before sharing it on your website or in emails.

Who this section is for

These guides are for facility owners, managers, and front-desk staff who set up public pages, copy customer links, and help customers find the right sign-in page. You do not need technical skills—only access to Settings in your dashboard.

Staff dashboard vs public pages

Your team works in the staff dashboard (addresses that start with /dashboard). Customers and prospects open public pages (addresses that start with /facility/your-facility-name or your custom domain).

Who opens itWhere they goExample link type

Most public links are copied from **Shareable links** on [Settings > Website & customer app](/dashboard/settings/website). Staff configure pages here; customers open the finished links.

Each **Shareable links** card has **Copy** and **Open**. Use **Open** to preview the page before you paste the link into an email or website.

Many customers open your link from a text message. Always preview the public page on a phone before you share it widely.

What you can set up

  • A public facility page that introduces your business and services.
  • A customer login link for existing customers who already have a portal account.
  • A customer registration page for new storage requests.
  • A marketplace page and checkout path for cars, products, services, or memberships.
  • A vendor invoice portal for outside providers who need to send your team an invoice.
  • A website badge embed you can add to another website.
  • A custom domain, such as your own website address.
  • A QR code for customer login or your public facility page (printed materials, front desk).

Where setup happens in the dashboard

Most public page work starts in one settings area:

  1. Open Website & customer app

    Go to Settings > Website & customer app.

    Expected result: You see Shareable links near the top, then sections for Customer app, Public website, and Website schedule widget.

  2. Copy links from Shareable links

    Use Copy on the card that matches your goal: Customer login, Main page, Registration, or Vendor invoices.

    Why this matters: Copying prevents typos. One wrong character can send customers to an error page.

  3. Edit page content in Public website

    Scroll to Public website to turn pages on, choose your Facility slug, and use the Page editor to add or remove sections. Turn on Vendor invoice portal under Header & page settings when vendors need a public submit link.

    See Configure the facility landing page.

  4. Choose registration questions separately

    Open Settings > Customer onboarding to choose which questions appear on the registration form.

    See Set up customer registration.

  5. Customize the signed-in mobile app

    Scroll to Customer app on the same settings page to set header text, home sections, and bottom tabs before customers sign in.

    See Customize the customer mobile app.

Draggable sections live in the **Page editor**. **Vendor invoice portal** is a separate toggle under **Header & page settings**—not in this list.

Recommended setup order

Follow this order if you are setting up public pages for the first time.

  1. Configure the facility landing page

    Set up your Facility slug, banner, and Page editor sections in Configure the facility landing page.

  2. Set up customer registration

    Turn on the Online registration form and Registration form section, then test a submission with Set up customer registration.

  3. Review registration requests
  4. Customize the customer mobile app

    Set header, home sections, and bottom tabs with Customize the customer mobile app before wide portal invites.

  5. Share customer login links

    Add the Customer login link to your website and welcome emails with Share customer login links.

  6. Customize the customer mobile app

    Shape what signed-in customers see on their phone—header, home sections, and bottom tabs—with Customize the customer mobile app.

  7. Choose and test public links

Expected result

Your team has one clear public path for prospects: they can learn about your facility, request storage, and reach the right next step without calling your staff for basic instructions.

Customize the customer app (signed-in mobile experience)

Prospects see your public facility page. After they become customers and sign in, they use the customer app on their phone.

  1. Open Customer app settings

    Go to Settings > Website & customer app and scroll to Customer app.

    Expected result: A Live preview on the left shows the phone home screen customers see after sign-in.

  2. Adjust header and home sections

    Turn sections on or off (gallery, upcoming events, quick actions) and drag them into a friendly order.

    Why this matters: Customers who already trust your facility will judge your professionalism again when they open the portal on their phone.

  3. Preview on a real phone

    Copy Customer login from Shareable links, open it on your phone, and sign in as a test customer if you have one.

    Expected result: The signed-in home screen matches the preview in settings.

Customer journey from first visit to portal

  1. Prospect learns about your facility

    They open your Main page from your website, a text message, or a business card QR code.

  2. Prospect requests storage

    They complete the Registration form. Your team reviews the request in Contacts.

  3. Staff approves and prepares the record

    Follow Review and approve registration requests. Add cars, documents, and billing as needed.

  4. Customer receives a portal invite

    Send the Customer login link after the record looks ready. See Invite a customer to the portal.

  5. Customer signs in and self-serves

    They view cars, events, billing, and documents from the customer portal. See Guide a customer through the portal.
