First-time setup

When you first log in, SkipDrop shows you a setup checklist. You can come back to it any time from the dashboard. Work through it in this order — each step unlocks the next.

The checklist

1. Tell us about your yard. Address, contact number, logo, working hours. This is what customers see on your booking page and invoices.

   → Set up your store

2. Add your skips. What sizes do you have, and how many of each? (e.g. 3 × 6m, 2 × 11m).

   → Skip types and pricing

3. Add a vehicle and a driver. Even if it is just you for now — you are both the driver and the operator.

   → Fleet · → Drivers

4. Set your dump zones. Where do skips go to be emptied? Add your usual landfill or recycler, plus the per-tonne cost.

   → Dump zones

5. (Optional) Switch on online payments. Take card / EFT through PayFast. This is a Pro feature.

   → Online payments

Don't try to be perfect

You can edit anything later. Get the minimum in (one skip type, one vehicle, one driver) and book your first job — then refine as you go.

You are ready when…

• The setup checklist on the dashboard is fully ticked
• You can see your skip count under Fleet
• A test booking works end-to-end (see Book a job)
