Welcome! Here's the fastest path from an empty store to taking your first order.
Sign in. Your welcome email has a Choose your password button. The link works once and lasts a week — if it has expired, use Forgot password on the sign-in page and we'll email you a fresh one. We never send passwords by email.
Follow guided setup. Your dashboard shows a Get your store ready to sell card. Choose Open guided setup → for a page that takes you through five steps in order, with why each matters and roughly how long it takes. Steps tick themselves off as you complete them — there's nothing to mark done — and the card disappears once you're set up. Here's what they cover:
1. Add your branding. Under Settings → Branding, upload your logo and set your brand colour and store name so your storefront looks like you.
2. Connect payments. Under Settings → Checkout & payments, choose Connect Stripe so you can take cards. Stripe verifies your business in the background, which takes a while, so start early. See Taking payments.
3. Add your products. Start with one, see how it looks, then add the rest one at a time or import your catalogue — see Adding products. Then let ShopKit draft descriptions and find images for you.
4. Set up shipping. Under Settings → Shipping, set your postage origin and rates, or free shipping, so checkout can quote delivery. See Setting up shipping.
5. Place a test order. Buy something small from your own storefront to check the whole flow — product page, delivery quote, payment and confirmation email.
When you're ready, connect your own domain, add your policy and About pages, and share your store with the world.
