Your first transaction

Setup is not finished when the screens are filled in. A fully configured store that has never taken a payment has not started yet. This step is the proof that everything before it works end to end.

Three ways the first one happens

The customer subscribes themselves. They open the checkout link or the widget, pick a plan, and pay. This is the normal path after going live.

You create the subscription. From Subscriptions → New subscription you pick the customer, the plan and the billing option. It ends by sending the customer a payment link to complete.

You approve a manual payment. If the customer paid by bank transfer or in cash, the request appears in Offline Payments waiting for your review. Approving it activates the subscription.

Check that it worked

After the first transaction, open Subscriptions and confirm it appears as active. That is when your store has genuinely started.

After that

Setup is done. From here you manage subscriptions and customers from the dashboard, and track performance from the home screen.
