The Cartble onboarding wizard runs once when you create your account and provisions your store with a single Finish action at the end. Each of the six steps collects settings that Cartble uses to configure your store’s industry features, regional defaults, checkout behavior, and public URL. This page explains every screen so you know what to enter and why it matters.
You cannot re-run the onboarding wizard after your store is created. Most settings—language, currency, delivery types, and your store name—can be changed later from your store’s settings dashboard. Your store slug (URL) cannot be changed after provisioning.

​
The six onboarding steps

1

Step 1: Blueprint — choose your industry

The Blueprint step determines your store’s industry type, which controls which features are enabled, which checkout delivery options appear, and how your catalog is structured.Select one of the three industry types:

Retail

For stores selling physical or digital products. Enables inventory tracking, product variants, and retail-specific tax settings.

On-Demand

For food or craft delivery businesses. Enables order prep time, order acceptance controls, and high-customizability options.

Booking

For service providers and space rental businesses. Enables scheduling, buffer times, default session durations, and staff management.

​
Sub-strategy (On-Demand and Booking only)

After selecting On-Demand or Booking, a second screen appears asking you to fine-tune your strategy:
StrategyBest for
Food-basedRestaurants, ghost kitchens, meal prep services. Enables order preparation workflows.
Craft-basedArtisan goods, made-to-order products, custom crafts delivered on demand.
Your sub-strategy is stored as your store’s subType and affects which specialized features are active. You cannot change your industry or sub-strategy after provisioning.

Step 2: Identity — name and brand color

Give your store a name and choose a primary brand color. These values set the public-facing identity of your store.
  • Store name — appears in your storefront header, customer emails, and your store profile. You can change this later in Settings > Profile.
  • Primary color — used as the accent color throughout your storefront theme. Enter a hex value or use the color picker. You can refine this later in the theme editor.

Step 3: Regional — language, currency, and address

Configure where your store operates and in which language and currency it runs.Language — choose between English (en) and Portuguese (pt). Your choice affects:
  • The language of the default category and sample resources Cartble creates for you
  • The default timezone (Portuguese → America/Sao_Paulo; English → UTC)
  • The measurement system (Portuguese → metric; English → imperial)
Currency — choose between USD and BRL. This sets the currency code used for all product prices and orders.Address — enter your store’s physical address (street, number, postal code, city, state, country). Cartble uses this to enable location-based features. The address fields are optional but recommended if your business has a physical presence.
Language and currency can be updated later in Settings > Regional. The timezone and measurement system are derived from your language choice and update automatically if you change the language setting.

Step 4: Checkout — delivery and fulfillment types

Select the fulfillment methods your customers can choose at checkout. You must enable at least one option to continue.The available options depend on the industry you selected in Step 1:
OptionDescription
Standard DeliveryShip orders to the customer’s address.
In-store PickupLet customers collect orders at your location.
You can enable multiple options. These settings are stored in your store’s checkout configuration and can be updated later in Settings > Checkout.

Step 5: Domain — claim your store URL

Enter a slug to set your store’s public web address. Your store will be accessible at:
your-slug.mycartble.com
Slug requirements:
  • Minimum 3 characters
  • Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only (no spaces or special characters)
  • Must be unique across all Cartble stores
Your slug cannot be changed after you click Finish. If you later connect a custom domain, your .mycartble.com address continues to work alongside it, but the slug itself is permanent.
Click Finish to provision your store. Cartble validates the slug, creates your store document, sets up a default General category, registers you as the store admin, and adds three sample resources so your catalog isn’t empty. After provisioning succeeds, you are automatically redirected to your store dashboard.

Step 6: Ready — your store is live

The final screen confirms that your store has been provisioned. Cartble redirects you to your store dashboard automatically after a brief moment.Your store is immediately live at your-slug.mycartble.com. Your 15-day trial begins now. During the trial you have full access to your store’s features—no credit card is needed until the trial ends.
Your first task in the dashboard is to replace the sample resources with your real products, services, or listings. Head to Catalog to get started.
