How it works

From signup to a working business system.

Rusteeze starts with a short signup assessment, recommends a package, provisions the business workspace, and unlocks the modules needed for that business type. You can start with the essentials and add more when the business is ready.

The launch flow

1

Tell Rusteeze what you do

Signup asks whether you run services, ecommerce, education, clinics, wellbeing, trades, professional work, or a mixed business.

2

Review the recommended package

Rusteeze recommends Starter, Professional, Regulated, or Enterprise and shows included modules plus operator-managed pricing.

3

Create the workspace and URL

The business gets its Rusteeze workspace, public site foundation, package entitlements, billing context, dashboard access, and Rusteeze URL.

4

Build the first customer flows

Publish pages, forms, bookings, products, courses, documents, portal access, and messages as the business needs them.

5

Connect payments and team access

Stripe handles payment details for deposits, orders, courses, or service payments. Staff access can be added around the records they need.

6

Run the work from records

Bookings, orders, forms, files, receipts, notes, tasks, automations, and support history stay attached to the customer journey.

What the business sees

  • A dashboard focused on customers, bookings, forms, payments, documents, and follow-up work.
  • Package-aware navigation, so advanced tools only appear where they belong.
  • Operator-managed pricing and billing controls flowing into signup and public pricing.
  • Room to add more modules if the first package is not enough.

What customers see

  • A public site that can take bookings, enquiries, orders, course registrations, and support requests.
  • Clear checkout, confirmation, refund, cancellation, and contact routes where commerce is enabled.
  • Portal access where the business wants customers to return to records, files, forms, and messages.
  • A consistent journey from first enquiry to paid work and follow-up.

Common setup questions

Do I build it myself?You can start through signup, then Five Valleys Digital can support setup where the business needs a more guided launch.
Can I use my domain?Start with a Rusteeze URL, then connect a custom domain when the public site is ready.
Do I need Stripe?Only if you want to take deposits, orders, course payments, service payments, or commerce checkout through Rusteeze.
What if I pick the wrong package?The package is the starting point. Modules and upgrades can be added as the business grows.
For marketplace-style selling

If a Rusteeze business sells through independent seller/provider flows, sellers may need to complete Stripe Connect onboarding and identity or business verification before charges or payouts are enabled.
