Getting Started

This page gives new merchants a practical setup sequence for Etalasse.

What to decide first​

Before configuring detailed features, confirm:

  • which Etalasse surfaces you will use first
  • what products or services you will sell
  • how you want customers to pay
  • whether you need delivery, pickup, or in-person selling

1. Create or access the merchant account​

Register a new Etalasse account or sign in with an existing one before starting configuration work.

2. Set up the merchant profile​

Complete the basic business identity, contact information, and operational profile.

3. Build the product structure​

Create product categories, then add products with pricing, stock, media, and descriptions.

4. Configure payments and fulfillment​

Set up payment methods, shipping options, and any required bank or settlement-related details.

5. Prepare the selling surfaces​

Decide whether you will launch with Catalog, Link, POS, or a combination of them.

6. Run an internal test order​

Before going live, complete at least one internal test flow so your team can verify:

  • product visibility
  • payment setup
  • order recording
  • stock updates where applicable

Common mistakes to avoid​

  • using the wrong Etalasse surface for the intended workflow
  • skipping account recovery preparation for the main operator account
