# Quick Start Guide

> Step-by-step setup guide to launch your storekit store. Create the store, build a menu, set hours, configure payments and fulfillment, and go live fast.

This guide walks you through the essential steps to launch your storekit store. Most stores can be set up and taking orders within an hour.

## What You'll Need

Before you start, have these ready:

* Your business details (name, address, phone number)
* Your menu (products, prices, descriptions)
* Bank account details (for receiving payouts)
* Logo and brand colour (optional but recommended)

## Setup Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Your Store">
    Sign up at [dashboard.storekit.com](https://dashboard.storekit.com) and create your first store. You'll enter your business name, URL slug, address, currency, and timezone.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Opening Hours">
    Configure when your store accepts orders. Set opening and closing times for each day of the week, with support for multiple time slots (e.g., lunch and dinner service). You can set different hours for pickup vs delivery.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Build Your Menu">
    Create categories to organise your products, then add items with prices, descriptions, and images. Set up modifier groups for customisation options (sizes, toppings, etc.) and add allergen/dietary information.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Fulfillment">
    Enable the fulfillment methods you want to offer:

    * **Pickup** - customers collect from your location
    * **Delivery** - you deliver to customer addresses (with optional delivery zones)
    * **Dine-in** - table ordering via QR codes
    * **Catering** - large orders with separate pickup/delivery options

    Set prep times, minimum order values, and delivery fees.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up Payments">
    Connect storekit Payments (powered by Adyen) to accept cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Complete identity verification to receive payouts to your bank account.

  <Step title="Connect Printing (Optional)">
    Set up a Star Micronics cloud printer to automatically print order tickets. Skip this if you'll manage orders from the dashboard or use a POS integration.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Test and Go Live">
    Place test orders to verify the customer experience, payment flow, and order notifications. When ready, open your store and share your link.
