See Exactly What Your Hunters and Guides See Before You Invite Them

The moment most outfitters hesitate in setting up Hunt Outfitter isn’t the booking calendar or the payment settings; it’s the invite button. You’re about to send a client to a portal you’ve never seen through their eyes, and a guide to an app you don’t log into yourself. Now you can see both first.

The client portal, with a sample hunter

See what your hunters will see opens your client portal as it looks to a hunter named Sam, who is booked on your own first hunt type, in your season and area, with your guide. Everything around Sam is yours: your logo and brand color, your welcome message, your FAQ and your photo gallery, and your packing list and camp menu on the plans that include them. Tabs your plan doesn’t include are marked, because your clients won’t see them either. Sam’s countdown, pre-trip checklist, documents and payment schedule show you what a real hunter will be working through, and the banner at the top gives you the address your clients actually sign in at.

Nothing in the preview is saved or sent. The Pay Now button is there but switched off, and if Stripe isn’t connected yet, the preview tells you clients will see your wire or check instructions instead. A hunter’s own Documents, To-Dos, Travel and Profile tabs aren’t reproduced, because they hold that hunter’s records rather than anything you configured.

You’ll find the preview where you’re most likely to want it: on the setup checklist, next to the welcome message in Settings, on the Packing List page as Preview as hunter, and on the Clients page when someone is waiting for their invite. It always shows the sample hunter, never a real client’s account.

The guide app, with a sample guide

Preview as guide, on the Guides page, does the same for the field side. A sample guide named Jordan lands on the home screen your guides will see, with the menu your plan gives them, your season checklist banner if you’ve set one, and the sample hunt with its real meeting point. It’s the quickest way to check what a new guide’s first morning looks like before you send the invite, and the link also appears on a guide’s page while their invite is still pending.

Who can use it, and on which plans

Both previews are open to owners and admins on every plan, including the free Starter plan. The preview help article lists every place to open them and what each one leaves out. If you’re setting up now, open the setup checklist and click See what your hunters will see; if you haven’t started, create a free account and look at your portal before anyone else does.
