Getting started

Create your shop and make your first sale in about fifteen minutes.

Sukbay has two sides. The shop dashboard is where you and your team run the business. The customer app is where shoppers discover your products and order from you. Everything you set up in the dashboard shows up in the customer app when you choose to show it.

The fifteen-minute setup#

   Create your account

   Open the dashboard and sign up with your email (or Google). Enter your name and your shop's name. You become the shop owner, with access to everything.

   Pick your language and theme

   At the bottom of the sidebar switch between English and አማርኛ. Under Settings › Appearance choose an accent colour and light or dark mode.

3. 3

   Add a warehouse

   Your first warehouse is where stock is kept. Add more later for branches or storage rooms. See Warehouses.

4. 4

   Add your products

   Go to Products › + Product. Add a name, SKU, category, price, unit and pictures. Use Scan / Import to add many at once from a photo or a pasted list.

5. 5

   Stock them in a batch

   Open a product's Batches and add the delivery you received, with its cost and quantity. Sukbay now knows your real profit.
