Your account is created straight away. There's no waitlist, no approval step, and no limited-access tier — once you're signed in you have the full app.
Where you land
After signing in you're taken to Home — a welcome page with a Setup progress checklist and a Choose a Service section. There's no separate dashboard to wait for.
The setup checklist
Home tracks five steps and ticks them off as you complete them:
- Connect your store — link an e-commerce platform so creativehub can push products. You can use a range of platforms or our API; we recommend Shopify. This is the one step you need before you can publish.
- Create products or drop pages — make individual print products, or generate a timed drop page with products (drops are Shopify only).
- Add a payment card — when you make a sale, we debit your card to produce and dispatch the order.
- Add branding — add packing branding and logos for your certificates to improve the customer experience.
- Make sales! — read the help centre for advice on marketing your prints.
You don't have to do these in order, and only connecting a store is required to start publishing.
What you don't need to do
You don't need to connect a social account to use the app. Social connections are part of the marketing features, which are currently turned off for everyone — they aren't part of getting started.
