Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt

Honest note: This is an ERP-ish migration. Budget implementation help; do not treat it as a weekend DIY.

Recipe

  1. Inventory your channels (Shopify Plus, retail POS, 3PL) and accounting (Xero).
  2. Engage Cin7 + an implementation partner; map SKUs, locations, and assemblies before cutover.
  3. Connect Xero, Shopify, shipping (Starshipit), and payments (Pinch / Airwallex or your stack).
  4. Run parallel stock counts for one cycle; freeze SKU creates during cutover weekend.
  5. Train store staff on receiving and transfers; founder steps back once daily ops are staffed.
