This walks a brand-new store through Seed's setup wizard, start to finish. It takes about five minutes and ends with a real $0 order in your Shopify admin, sent to yourself as a test, so you can see exactly what a creator will experience before you send the link to anyone else.

  1. Install Seed from the Shopify App Store and approve the permissions. See Install Seed for what each one is for. The wizard opens automatically right after.

  2. Answer whether you've gifted creators before. Pick Yes, we gift 20+ creators a month, Yes, a few times, not consistently, or No, we're just getting started. This just tailors your setup, picking an option moves you straight to the next step.

  3. Pick what creators can choose from. Tap one or more products in the grid pulled straight from your Shopify catalog (only products that are active show up). Need something not on the first page? Use Browse all products to open Shopify's own product picker. Click Continue once you've picked at least one.

  4. Make it look like you. Set your logo, primary color and a welcome message. See Branding for what each field does. You can also click Skip for now and come back to this later from Settings.

  5. Say where you heard about Seed. One optional question, pick an option or click Skip for now →.

  6. Send yourself a real test gift. A live preview of your actual gift form loads on the right, pre-filled with your own name and address so you don't have to type them. Go through the form as a creator would and submit it. This creates a real $0 draft order in your Shopify admin, tagged so you can tell it apart from a real creator's order.

  7. Choose your plan. Free is preselected. Click Continue on Free to keep going without paying anything, or pick Starter or Seed to upgrade now. See Plans & billing for what each plan includes. Upgrading isn't required to finish setup.

  8. Invite your first real creator. Your gift link is shown, ready to copy. Click Copy and send it to the first creator you want to gift. DM, email, whatever's fastest, or click Open share screen for more ways to share it. Click Go to dashboard → when you're ready to move on.

What you have now

A live campaign with a real gift link, your brand's look applied, and one test order already sitting in your Shopify admin as proof it works end to end.
