Common questions
Start with the guide that matches your business
The quickest setup path is usually the guide that matches how you actually sell. Industry pages show how Shemify maps to retail, café, restaurant, and service-business workflows.
Core tasks most teams configure on day one
After you choose the right workflow page, the next setup steps are usually operational: receipts, catalog structure, staff access, and basic reporting.
Common rollout mistakes the docs can help you avoid
Most early friction comes from a few predictable issues: unclear product names, skipped permission setup, untested printer flows, or choosing a device before thinking through the real checkout environment.
- Test receipts on the device you plan to use at the counter
- Set cashier vs manager roles before more staff start using the system
- Keep categories, variants, and product names consistent from the beginning
- Choose the industry guide that matches your real workflow instead of copying another business type
When docs are not enough
Some setups need a direct answer because the environment, printer, or workflow is unusual. When that happens, use the FAQ for quick answers or contact the team with your specifics.
