# Quickstart: Designers

> Upload patterns, find resellers and start making sales.

## Get started in three steps

Get your Replic store up and running and make your first sales.

### Step 1: Set up your payment and company information

The first and most important step is to ensure you are set up to receive payment for your sales on the app.

<Accordion icon="landmark" title="Connect or create payment account">
  Head over to your [billing page](https://www.replic.ca/payment/receive) to
  create a Stripe account or connect an existing one. You will be asked to fill
  in the required information for Replic to collect payment on your behalf.

  <Tip>
    Payments from resellers will appear in your Stripe account as soon as the
    funds are available. You can choose the schedule at which you want Stripe to
    send the funds to your own bank account. Learn more about [setting up a
    payout schedule](https://support.stripe.com/questions/payout-schedules-faq)
    in Stripe.
  </Tip>
</Accordion>

<Tip>
  The default setup should work for most designers. If your needs are more
  complicated, you will have full access to your Stripe dashboard to make any
  changes or customization required. Learn more about [how payment
  works](/designers/payment).
</Tip>

### Step 2: Add your products

If you want to save time copying and pasting descriptions, we encourage you to use the bulk import option.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="pencil" title="Add products manually">
    You can add or edit any product in Replic directly in your [product list](https://www.replic.ca/patterns/uploaded).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="table-properties" title="Bulk import from your current website">
    You can also bulk import products in CSV format. Most e-commerce platforms offer CSV export options.

    1. Export your products as a CSV from your current site.
    2. Head to your Replic [product list](https://www.replic.ca/patterns/uploaded).
    3. Select *Import CSV*.
    4. *Optional: set a wholesale rate*.
    5. Decide if you want to be notified once the import is completed and save.

    <Tip>
      Imports of large product lists or that include large images can take a long
      time to process (up to an hour).
    </Tip>

    <Warning>
      CSV exports can include images but never include files. You will need to come
      back to upload product files and set them as active to make them available for
      sale.
    </Warning>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

### Step 3: Go live

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="heart-handshake" title="Approve new partner requests">
    You will be notified by email when a reseller is interested in your
    products. Click on the link in your email to go approve their request.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="rocket" title="Find new partners">
    If you want to be proactive, you can find new partners on the Replic app by
    searching through our [list of
    retailers](https://www.replic.ca/partners/search). You will need to be
    signed in to filter the list to only display stores on Replic.

    <Note>
      Other stores on this list are not affiliated with Replic and might not be
      able to or interested in adding the Replic app. They were simply added to
      the list in a previous iteration of the application to help designers find
      potential partners outside of the application.
