Onboarding: your first day
This is the shortest path from signing up to real, labeled products on your shelf. Do these in order and you'll have your store set up, your point-of-sale connected, and your first purchase order received.
1. Create your account
Go to sign-up and choose Google or email. With email, you'll enter your name, agree to the terms, and get a 6-digit code to confirm — no password to remember.
2. Set up your store
New merchants land in the "Set Up Your Store" wizard. It's a few quick steps, and most fields are optional — you can always refine later:
Business information
Your store name (required) plus any address and contact details.
Default pricing & naming
Pick a starting markup and how prices round (the tail, like .95 or .99), and choose which name cleanups to apply — title-casing, stripping special characters, appending size. You'll see a live price preview. This becomes your store defaults; you can skip it and set them later.
Integrations
Just an overview here — Clover connects after your account exists. You'll do that in the next step.
Choose your plan
Pick monthly or annual and start your account. You can add the Seymour print server now or later.
3. Connect your point-of-sale
Once your account exists, open Account & Settings → Integrations and connect Clover. Pick your region and authorize — Tangerine Star then imports your existing Clover catalog (categories, products, tax rates) so it can match new orders against what you already sell.
4. Calibrate against your catalog
The first time you connect a PoS, turn on Calibration Mode before uploading POs. It links your imported catalog to your vendors by matching vendor line items to products you already have — without changing inventory or creating new products. Turn it off once your catalog is fully linked. Full detail in Account & Calibration Mode.
5. Upload your first PO
Now run the real loop. Upload a purchase order, review the extracted lines, and receive it. → Upload the PO · Receive the PO
6. Set your defaults & print
As you receive, Tory helps name, price, and structure the new products — and you can save those decisions as rules so future orders inherit them. Then print scannable labels for the shelf. → Creating Products · Printing Labels
How Tangerine Star works
The whole loop at a glance — from a vendor's purchase order to priced, labeled, scannable products on your shelf and in your register.
Account & Calibration Mode
Manage your business profile, plan, integrations, and team — and use Calibration Mode to link a freshly imported PoS catalog to your vendors.
