Business username

Change the login handle your whole team types on the sign-in page — the rules, the live availability check, and what happens to the old name.

The business username is what your team types on the login page. It identifies your workspace — every member uses the same one — and it forms your login link: /app/login?business=yourusername.

Change it#

Owner or Admin:

  1. Open Settings → Business username.
  2. Type the new username. The field checks availability as you type: Checking availability…, then a tick, or ✗ reason. Your existing name shows This is your current username.
  3. Click Change username.
  4. You see Login username changed to "newname" — tell your staff, the old one stops working immediately.

Rules#

  • 3–30 characters.
  • Lowercase letters and numbers only, starting with a letter.
  • Not already used by another business, and not a reserved word.

What happens next#

  • Links and bookmarks using ?business=oldname no longer work.
  • Invoices, customers and all other data are unaffected.
