HomeGetting started

You've got the app

Four steps to go.
And you can sell before the last one.

Each step below shows how long it really takes and what happens if you skip it. The fourth is the longest, and the only one that isn't entirely up to you.

Create the account

Email and password, that's it. One choice here is permanent: the country of the account sets the currency of your sales and the jurisdiction, and it can't be changed later. If you sell in two countries, that's two separate accounts.

1 minute Email confirmation

Account setup screen in the app, with the login verified and the account country set.

Business details

Logo, legal name, trade name and contact. This is what shows on the receipt your customer gets. Leave it empty and the receipt comes out generic, with no brand and no phone number.

Account › Business details

2 minutes You can skip it: the receipt goes out without your brand

First product

Photo, background color and description, which the app writes for you. That's what builds the colorful gallery you tap to sell. One product is enough for the whole flow to work.

1 minute You can skip it: sell with a custom amount and add products later

The longest step

Link the payment account

This is what lets you take cards inside the app. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to fill in, plus Stripe's review time, which is up to neither you nor us. In the meantime you can already sell: in cash, or on the card reader you already have, recording the sale in the app just the same.

Account › Payment account

10 to 15 min plus Stripe's review ID and bank details

Account menu in the app, with Payment account among the options.

Stripe is the one asking They process the money and are required by law to verify who gets paid.

ConnectStore never sees it or keeps it ID and bank details go straight to Stripe. None of it passes through our servers or stays in the app.

You can leave and come back Whatever you've filled in stays saved. You don't have to do the whole fifteen minutes in one sitting.

And where does the money land?

In the bank account you provide, on Stripe's schedule for your country. ConnectStore never holds your money. It never passes through an account of ours.

What you get after that

Tap to Pay on iPhone and Tap to Pay on Android, where available in your country
Stripe M2 and S700 readers
Keyed-in card entry
Payment link, sent by QR code, link or email

Payment integration is a separate service, charged only when you use it: the processor's fee, billed by them, plus 0.5% from ConnectStore for the service, on any plan. A sale recorded without it still costs nothing.

The one test worth doing

Make a US$ 1 sale to yourself.

The sale goes through the catalog, the cart, the payment, the receipt and the report, exactly as it will at the counter. Then just cancel it.

Confirmation screen in the app, with a green check mark.

If something goes wrong

Three things we'd rather tell you upfront.

You need internet

There is no offline mode: the sale is recorded on the server the instant it happens. Where the signal is unreliable, that is a real limitation.

The receipt is not a tax document

The app issues a sales receipt. Filing stays with your back office or your accountant. Check what your country requires.

Support by email

Write to support@connectstore.app or use the error report inside the app. Remote setup and training come with the Professional plan.

Later, when you grow

A second device, or someone besides you.

There is no deadline: it happens when the business stops being one person with a phone. Registering devices is free, and the free plan keeps one active at a time.

A second active deviceTwo people selling at the same time, each on their own device.

A history you can checkThe web portal rebuilds the sale record by record, kept for 90 days.

US$ 19 per active device / month

No setup fee and no contract. Register as many devices as you want and pay only for the ones active that month.
