Guides: how to do one specific thing

Each guide solves one task for someone who already has the system running and knows what they want. They do not teach: they assume context.

If what you are writing walks someone through their first time, it belongs in getting-started/. If it is a fact to look up, it belongs in reference/. If it explains why something is the way it is, it belongs in explanation/.

Artificial intelligence

• Connect AI and give it a spending cap
• Put the AI chat in your store — includes Article 50
• Let ChatGPT and Claude sell your products

Starting from a shop that already exists

• Moving in from Shopify or WooCommerce — catalogue, customers (from WooCommerce, by CSV), orders and the redirect map (from a product CSV)
• Selling in several languages — with AI translation

Themes and extensions

• Install a theme and load its demo content — upload, demo content, publish and roll back
• Build a theme from scratch
• Write a plugin
• Selling the theme you built — for the author: packaging, signing, the market, selling elsewhere and licences

Catalogue and orders

• Products and catalogue — variants, cost and margin, bulk edits and categories
• Advanced selling — bundles, quantity price tiers and personalisation
• Promotions and coupons
• Orders — the list, the detail, refunds, the invoice email and cancelling

The store, day to day

• Card payments and other gateways — Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, MONEI and Adyen
• Telegram alerts and chat — an alert on your phone with every order
• Reviews
• The support inbox
• Abandoned carts
• Barcode stock control
• Gift cards and store credit — a payment method, not a discount: why that matters for VAT
• Loyalty points — the opposite of a gift card: a discount that reduces the taxable amount
• The newsletter — double opt-in and unsubscribing
• Your team — who gets into the panel, and what roles really limit
• Connect a tool to your store — service tokens: credentials for a machine, with no person behind them
• Selling with others: the marketplace — sellers with their own panel, one shipping fee per parcel and one wallet per seller
• The seller panel — what a seller or author sees, and how they get in

Selling things that are not physical

• Sell downloadable products — download limits, expiring links, EU consent and new versions
• Sell keys and game cards — the code pool, the reservation and revealing

Taxes, invoices and shipping

• Taxes and invoices — per country, the EU with VIES and OSS, chained invoices and credit notes
• Set up shipping — zones, rates with conditions, classes and the shipping profile trap

The author market

• Sell themes and extensions by others — author sign-up, review, versions, licences and support
• Selling the theme you built — the same market seen by the author who publishes in it
• Pay authors and sellers — the wallet, the waiting period, the minimum and the two payout modes

Operations

• Backups, and what to do when something falls over

What is not here, and is not going to be: connecting a specific distributor to sync their stock. That is not part of the product — it is code tailored to each store, because every distributor has its own API. What the product does bring is stock locations, which is where that code leaves its data.
