Work through Getting started
Getting started lists the four things a store needs before a buyer can pay. You can open any step in any order, and stop after any of them. The ring at the top counts what's done.
The four steps
- Connect your Stripe account. Buyers pay you directly, into your own Stripe. Done when Stripe says your account can take payments and send payouts. See Connect Stripe.
- Your business details. The name, address and email buyers see under "Sold by" at checkout. Done once you've saved them on Your account. See Add your business details.
- Your store. Check your Store name, add a Logo if you have one, then choose Save and carry on. Done the first time you save.
- Your first product. Copy the suggested line into your AI assistant, or choose I'd rather build it here myself. If there's no AI assistant step on your page, choose Add a product. Done once a product is published, not just drafted.
When all four are done, the page says Your store is open.
Naming your store
- The Store name shows at the top of every page and on receipts. It can be up to 100 characters, and you can change it later.
- The Web address was set when you made the store and can't be changed.
- A logo can be a PNG, JPG or WebP up to 512 KB. Wide logos work best. With no logo, your store name shows in type.
- Colors, fonts and layout live in Store design.
An optional extra
You may also see a step marked +, Connect your AI assistant. It's optional, and your store opens without it. It shows Claude and ChatGPT side by side, each with its own short video and steps, so use whichever you already have. See Connect Claude and Connect ChatGPT.
Getting started is where SaySo opens until your first product is published. After that you land on Dashboard, and Getting started stays in the sidebar whenever you want it.
