# Onboarding

> Walk through the onboarding wizard after installing PopUp for the first time.

When you open PopUp for the first time, a three-step onboarding wizard walks you through everything you need before your first market day. It takes about 2 minutes.

***

## Step 1 — Choose your plan

The first screen shows what PopUp does and asks you to choose a plan.

Review the features, then select a plan:

| Plan        | Price          | Best for                                     |
| ----------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Free        | \$0            | Just getting started — up to 5 products      |
| Season Pass | \$4.99 / month | Seasonal sellers who want to pause in winter |
| Annual      | \$30 / year    | Year-round sellers — best value              |

Select a plan card and tap **Save & Continue**. If you choose Season Pass or Annual, Shopify will ask you to approve the charge before continuing.

<Tip>
  Not sure? Start on Free — you can upgrade anytime from the Subscription page.

## Step 2 — How it works

This screen gives you a quick overview of the two parts of PopUp.

### Setup (done in Shopify Admin)

1. Add the PopUp tile to your Shopify POS home screen — see [Installing](/docs/getting-started/installing)
2. Add your products and categories using the left-hand menu in the PopUp Admin

### At market (done in Shopify POS on your phone)

<img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/madvalleyproductions/images/onboarding-step2-atmarket.png" alt="At market flow showing three steps: open PopUp, weigh item, add to cart" />

1. **Open PopUp** — tap the PopUp tile on your Shopify POS home screen
2. **Select a product and weigh it** — enter the weight and PopUp calculates the price
3. **Add to cart and check out** — the item is added to the Shopify POS cart

Tap **Next** when you're ready.

## Step 3 — Add your first product

Choose how you want to build your catalog:

**Enter manually** — fill in the name, price, type, and category one product at a time. Good for small catalogs or if you're just getting started.

**Import a CSV** — upload a spreadsheet with multiple products at once. Good if you already have a product list somewhere.

Selecting either option completes the wizard and takes you straight to adding products.

<Info>
  Products you add in PopUp are separate from your Shopify product catalog. They don't affect your Shopify inventory. Each sale creates a custom line item in the Shopify POS cart at the calculated price.
