Why Onboarding Matters #
Our onboarding process is designed to get your store launched or migrated quickly, with complete clarity. We provide a structured path so you always know what’s happening, who is responsible, and when to expect results.
Step 1: Kickoff Call #
Within 24–48 hours of signup, we schedule a kickoff call. In this session we:
- Align on your business goals such as conversion, growth, or brand upgrade
 - Define the timeline for your chosen plan: Launch, Grow, Upgrade, or Operate
 - Introduce your dedicated ShopStars project manager
 
Step 2: Provide the Essentials #
To begin work efficiently, we request:
- Shopify store URL or migration platform credentials
 - Brand assets including logos, fonts, and style guides
 - Product data in CSV or exported format
 - Domain access through your DNS provider
 
Step 3: Project Plan #
After gathering your information, we deliver a detailed roadmap that outlines:
- Weekly deliverables
 - Milestones and approval points
 - Communication flow via Slack, Basecamp, or email
 
Step 4: Secure Access Setup #
We guide you through granting the correct permissions:
- Shopify admin access
 - Advertising accounts such as Meta, Google, or TikTok
 - Analytics including GA4 and Pixel IDs
 
All access is handled using platform-native invitations for security.
