Launch Checklist
Your dashboard home shows a setup checklist that tracks what's done and links straight to what's next. This page walks through it in the same order.
How the checklist works
On an online store, the checklist on the Dashboard ticks itself off as you work. You don't mark steps done by hand; Joomni checks your store. For example, Accept payments completes when at least one payment method is switched on. The progress bar counts only the essential steps, the ones a store needs before it can take money. Once they're done, you'll see Your store is ready, and you can dismiss the checklist.
Online store: essential steps

Go to Settings › General and Store Details. Fill in the store name, contact email, phone, address and currency. Buyers see these on invoices and emails, and the step only completes when all five are filled in. See General & Store Details.Add your first product
Catalog › Products › Add Product. Add photos, a title, a price and stock. Short on time? Use the AI Content Generatorto write the details from a photo. See Products.Accept payments
Settings › Payments. Turn on at least one method. Cash on delivery works on every plan. eSewa and Khalti need your own merchant keys. See Payments.Set up delivery

Before you announce your launch
- Place a test order from your live site, on a phone, with each payment method you enabled.
- Check your emails. Send yourself a test from Settings › Email Templates to see what customers will receive.
- Check page titles and descriptions in each page's Page SEO & Settings, so search results look right.
- Install tracking if you run ads: Google Analytics 4 or Facebook Pixel from Extensions.
