# Quickstart

> From an empty shop to your first order.

## 1. Make the shop

Go to [stashed.one](https://stashed.one) and create one. You get an address at
`/your-shop-name` straight away — your own domain comes later.

## 2. Get some products in

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Add them yourself">
    **Catalogue → Products → Add product.**

    You need a name, a price and a picture. Then pick the type, because it
    changes what else you'll be asked for:

    | Type     | Also needs                                              |
    | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Physical | A weight, and a location if you post from more than one |
    | Digital  | The files people will download                          |
    | Service  | Nothing else                                            |

    → [Products](/stashed/catalogue/products)
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Bring an existing shop across">
    **Catalogue → Import a shop.**

    Shopify and Etsy, either by connecting the account or uploading their export
    file. You can re-run an import safely as your old shop changes — it merges
    rather than duplicating.

    → [Importing a shop](/stashed/catalogue/import)
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 3. Connect payments

**Money → Payment methods.**

Connect Stripe for cards. Turn on crypto if you want it and set the addresses
you want paid to. Either, or both.

→ [Payment methods](/stashed/money/payment-methods)

## 4. Sort out shipping

**Money → Shipping.** Skip this only if you sell nothing physical.

<Warning>
  Make sure a zone covers everywhere you're willing to post to.

  If a customer's address isn't in any of your zones, they can't check out. That's
  right — you don't want orders you can't fulfil — but a half-finished setup looks,
  from their side, like your shop is broken.
</Warning>

→ [Shipping](/stashed/money/shipping)

## 5. Make it yours

<Steps>
  <Step title="Appearance">
    **Storefront → Appearance** for your logo, colours, theme and policy pages.
    The page builder opens from a card here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build your home page">
    Sections and templates. → [Page builder](/stashed/storefront/page-builder)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in your SEO">
    **Storefront → SEO & social.** At least your shop title and description.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Point your domain at it">
    **Storefront → Domains.** Note that a root domain and a subdomain need
    different DNS records. → [Domains](/stashed/storefront/domains)
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 6. Before you tell anyone

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Buy something from yourself">
    A real order, all the way through, and read the confirmation email. It's the
    only way to catch a broken shipping zone, a missing download or an email
    problem before a customer does.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Write your policies">
    Refunds, shipping, privacy. Short and real beats empty — payment processors
    look at these, and so do customers.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Decide who can see the shop">
    **Storefront → Privacy & visibility** if you want it password-protected or
    members-only. → [Privacy & visibility](/stashed/storefront/visibility)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Turn on the emails you want">
    Order confirmations send themselves. Marketing automations start switched
    off, on purpose. → [Automations](/stashed/growth/automations)
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Then, when you're running

* [Analytics](/stashed/growth/analytics) — where people drop off.
* [Discounts](/stashed/money/discounts) — codes and automatic offers.
* [Abandoned carts](/stashed/orders/abandoned-carts) — chasing the ones that got away.
* [The API](/api) — if you want to drive your catalogue from somewhere else.
