Ten short guides — from first tray photo to settled partner statements.

Sign in to your studio to track your progress.

01

Start your studio & brand setup

owner · ~5 min

  1. Sign up — your studio name becomes your brand across every page.
  2. Save your owner key somewhere safe (a password manager). It is shown once and is how you sign back in.
  3. In the dashboard, set your accent color and (on paid plans) your custom domain.

02

Photograph & scan a bead tray

owner or staff · ~10 min

  1. Lay one tray flat in even light — phone camera straight above, no glare.
  2. Open the first-scan wizard and upload the photo (or try the sample tray first).
  3. The AI names each compartment in YOUR vocabulary — glass studios get glass-first calls, gemstone studios get theirs.

Open the wizard

03

Review, correct & approve inventory

owner or staff · ~5 min

  1. Anything the AI was unsure about waits in the review queue — nothing goes live without you.
  2. Fix a name or material before approving; every correction becomes a permanent example that improves YOUR next scan.
  3. Approved beads appear in My Inventory and your public studio feed instantly.

04

Quantities, bins, sizes & tolerances

owner or staff · ~5 min

  1. Give each bead a bin code that matches your physical container labels — production tickets route pickers by bin.
  2. Add outer diameter and drill-hole size where you know them: the fit checker warns when a cord won’t pass (carrier ≤ hole − 0.05mm).
  3. Keep quantities honest — restock intelligence compares demand against stock.

05

Publish your studio & embed the customizer

owner · ~5 min

  1. Your hosted studio and 3D customizer are live the moment beads are approved — share the links anywhere.
  2. On your own website, paste the one-line embed script (Dashboard → Design Board shows it) to put the customizer on your domain.
  3. Customer designs land in Messaging with everything you need to build them.

06

Run a live-selling session

owner · ~5 min

  1. Open Live Mode on the device you film with — instant search, material chips, and a fullscreen spotlight for the camera.
  2. Pin the QR code so viewers open your customizer while you talk.
  3. Low-stock urgency shows automatically; every spotlight and search feeds your analytics.

07

Process an order through production

owner or staff · ~8 min

  1. Orders arrive from your store webhook, the customizer, or manual entry — each becomes one production order.
  2. Print the Blueprint ticket: bead-by-bead sequence with bin locations and tolerance warnings.
  3. Advance the status as you work: pick → assembly → quality check → complete.

See Orders

08

Partner ops: consignment, shipping & settlements

owner · ~12 min

  1. Create a partner with their pieces listed ("Name @ 48" per line) — they get a private portal to e-sign and record sales.
  2. Weigh the box, quote USPS (free), then buy the label with your PIN. Track it live; the partner confirms receipt in their portal.
  3. Settle with one click — the math uses THAT partner’s agreed share, and every settlement writes a permanent receipt. Print statements anytime.

Open Partner Portal

09

Connect Stripe, Shippo & your store

owner · ~10 min

  1. Stripe: pick a plan in Payments; Stripe Connect onboarding enables customizer checkout paid straight to you.
  2. Shippo: paste your API key + ship-from + a buy PIN in Shipping setup — quoting stays free, buying always asks for the PIN.
  3. Your store: point its order webhook at your Vectiform webhook URL — orders then flow into production automatically.

10

Export data, manage staff & get support

owner · ~5 min

  1. Payments → Export my data downloads everything your studio owns as one JSON file — no lock-in, ever.
  2. Invite staff with roles: makers see production work, never partner finances or billing.
  3. Help lives at /help; email support and a human answers.
