Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up Bright Canoe for your business.
Do I need to get a new phone number to use the AI Phone Receptionist? expand_more
No! You can keep your existing business or cell phone number. We provide standard carrier call forwarding codes (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Rogers, Bell, etc.) so calls you don't answer automatically roll over to your 24/7 AI Receptionist. You can also provision a dedicated local number if preferred.
How do payments and deposits get deposited to my bank? expand_more
Bright Canoe integrates with Stripe Connect. When clients pay booking deposits or service fees, the funds are deposited directly into your linked bank account on a daily or weekly rolling schedule.
Can I use Bright Canoe as a solo operator? expand_more
Absolutely. Bright Canoe was crafted specifically for solo practitioners (massage therapists, coaches, barbers, independent consultants) as well as multi-staff salons, clinics, and contracting companies.
How does the AI Onboarding Concierge work? expand_more
Instead of spending hours configuring settings, you can simply tell our AI Setup Concierge about your business (or paste your existing menu/website), and AI will auto-generate your services, pricing, schedule hours, SEO bio, and AI receptionist FAQs in under 60 seconds.
