Set up your account

The four things to do first: add your products, add a creator, fund your balances, and let the AI start working.

You don't need to configure everything on day one. These four steps give you a working setup — the Get started page in the app tracks your progress through them too.

1. Add your products

Go to Product Center and connect Shopify (or add products by hand). Products are what content gets matched to and what creators sell — most other features need them. See How to add your products.

2. Add your first creators

Go to My Creators → Add creators and paste a creator's profile link, or share your sign-up link so they join themselves. See How to add creators.

3. Fund your balances

Top up your Marketing budget (pays creators) and buy Credits (pays for the AI work) in the top bar. Small amounts are fine to start.

4. Turn on the AI

In Settings → AI Workforce, switch the agents to active. From then on, new content is scored and matched to your products automatically.

Pro tip

Do products before creators. A creator who joins when your Product Center is empty gets an empty storefront — not a great first impression.
