Platform Settings
As a Loka Creator, you can configure your school's settings to match your business needs. Access all settings from Admin Panel > Settings.
System Settings
Timezone
Set your school's default timezone. This affects:
- How available time slots are displayed to learners
- Default timezone for new user accounts
- Scheduling and reminder calculations
Individual users can override this with their own timezone in their account settings.
Currency
The platform currency is currently set to USD. Currency configuration may be expanded in future updates.
Booking Rules
Configure how learners book lessons at your school:
- Minimum advance booking -- how far in advance a lesson must be booked (e.g., 24 hours).
- Maximum booking window -- how far into the future learners can book (e.g., 2 weeks, 1 month).
- Cancellation policy -- the cutoff time for free cancellations and what happens with late cancellations.
Integrations
Loka connects with several third-party services to extend your school's capabilities.
Stripe
Stripe handles all payment processing for Loka. Your Stripe connection is set up during onboarding.
- View connection status in Settings > Integrations > Stripe
- Manage your Stripe account directly from the Stripe dashboard
- Webhook events are handled automatically (lesson payments, seat renewals, cancellations)
Zoom
Connect Zoom to automatically generate meeting links for online lessons.
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Zoom
- Authorize your Zoom account
- Once connected, booking an online lesson automatically creates a Zoom meeting and includes the join link in the confirmation email
Zoho Invoice
Integrate with Zoho Invoice for billing and invoicing. When connected, learner contacts are automatically created in Zoho Invoice when they join your school.
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Zoho
- Authorize your Zoho Invoice account
- Contacts are created automatically when new learners register
Asana
Asana integration is available for task and project management. This integration is currently inactive and may be enabled in a future update. The configuration fields exist in Settings for when it becomes available.
Email Configuration
Loka sends automated emails for common events:
- Welcome / invitation emails
- Booking confirmations and reminders
- Lesson summary notifications
- Password reset emails
Email templates are pre-configured with your school name and logo. The notification email address can be set in Settings to receive system alerts.
White-Labelling
Make Loka feel like your own platform with white-labelling options. White-labelling access requires a one-time purchase ($100).
- School name -- displayed throughout the platform and in emails.
- Logo -- upload your school's logo to replace the default Loka branding in the navigation bar and emails.
- Copyright text -- customize the footer copyright text.
White-labelling helps build trust with your learners. When the platform looks and feels like your brand, it reinforces your school's identity and professionalism.
