Overview

Get into Storify in under a minute. Fresh installs ship with sensible defaults so you can start selling on day one.

1. 1

   Open the admin dashboard

   Visit /admin in any modern browser, or install Storify as a PWA from the address bar for an app-like experience.

2. 2

   Sign in with your credentials

   Use the email and password created during installation. Vendors, staff, and sellers receive their invite from the admin during onboarding.

3. 3

   Complete your profile

   Add your avatar, contact details, and notification preferences from Settings → Profile so your team can reach you.

4. 4

   Pick your theme, language & currency

   Toggle light or dark mode in the topbar. Set the workspace language (15+ supported, including RTL/Arabic) and default currency from Settings → Localization.

The dashboard surfaces what needs your attention today — revenue, fresh orders, low stock, vendor activity, and AI agent conversations.

Organize categories, products, variants, media, and mega menus in one place. Every product gets its own SEO-ready page with rich media and reviews.

1. 1

   Create categories & mega menus

   Go to Catalog → Categories. Build a nested category tree, then design Mega Menus for the storefront header with featured collections and promo blocks.

2. 2

   Add a product

   Catalog → Products → New. Set title, slug, price, stock, SKU, brand, and category. Fill SEO meta for indexable product pages.

3. 3

   Configure variants & media

   Add variants (size, color, material) with per-variant pricing and stock. Upload images, videos, and optional 3D models for an interactive product viewer.

4. 4

   Set inventory & visibility

   Track stock per variant, mark products draft, scheduled, or published, and define delivery rules straight from the product editor.

Storify supports both single-vendor stores and full multi-vendor marketplaces. Approve sellers, set commissions, and pay them out — all from one place.

1. 1

   Choose your commerce model

   From Settings → Marketplace, switch between single-vendor and multi-vendor mode. In single mode, all products belong to the main store.

2. 2

   Approve vendor signups

   New sellers register from the storefront and land in Vendors → Pending. Review their store name, brand, and documents before approval.

3. 3

   Configure commissions

   Set platform commission globally or per-vendor. Storify auto-deducts your share from every order and tracks vendor balances.

4. 4

   Process payouts

   Vendors request payouts from their dashboard. Approve and record settlements manually or via your connected gateway.

Capture, process, ship, and refund orders without leaving Storify. Every status change is logged and notifies the customer automatically.

1. 1

   An order is placed

   Storefront, POS, and PWA orders all flow into Orders → All. Each one carries items, customer, shipping, payment status, and vendor breakdown.

2. 2

   Process & fulfill

   Mark items packed, attach tracking numbers, and split fulfillment across vendors when needed. Customers see live status in their account.

3. 3

   Capture payment

   Online gateways capture automatically. Cash-on-delivery and manual orders can be marked paid once the funds arrive.

4. 4

   Refunds & cancellations

   Issue partial or full refunds in a click — Storify reverses payment via the original gateway and restocks the inventory.

Storify's POS shares the same catalog, customers, inventory, and reports as your online store — no separate database, no sync headaches.

1. 1

   Open the POS terminal

   Sign in as staff and open /pos. Search products by name, SKU, or barcode and add them to the active cart.

2. 2

   Look up the customer

   Attach an existing customer or create a walk-in profile on the fly. Order history and loyalty follow them across web and POS.

3. 3

   Take payment

   Accept cash, card, or manual entry. Print or email the receipt — inventory updates in real time across the storefront.

4. 4

   Close the day

   Review per-terminal sales, cash drawer totals, and refunds from the POS report card in the admin dashboard.

Storify ships with Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paystack, and cash-on-delivery. Enable the gateways you need and let buyers checkout in their preferred currency.

Storify's AI Sales Agent answers product, payment, and delivery questions, recommends items, and guides shoppers toward checkout — 24/7.

Drill into revenue, traffic, conversion, top products, and vendor performance. Connect Google Analytics or Plausible for richer attribution.

Manage team members with granular roles, configure languages, currencies, RTL, branding, and integrations — all from one place.

Install Storify as a Progressive Web App for app-like performance, offline access, and push notifications on every device.

1. 1

   Install the PWA

   On Chrome/Edge, click the install icon in the address bar. On iOS Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen.

2. 2

   Enable push notifications

   Allow notifications when prompted to receive instant alerts for new orders, low stock, and AI agent handoffs.

3. 3

   Work offline

   Recently viewed admin and POS screens stay accessible without a connection — changes sync once you're back online.

A few shortcuts and habits that will help you fly through Storify every day.
