The Get Sales checklist is a guided list inside your vendor dashboard that walks you through everything you need to do to start getting orders. It surfaces the highest-leverage moves first and tracks your progress so you always know what's next.
Where to find it
Sign in to your vendor dashboard. The Get Sales checklist appears on your dashboard home page when there are still items left to complete. As you finish each step, that item gets a checkmark and the checklist updates.
What's on the checklist
The exact steps depend on where you are in your setup, but in general:
Add your first product with a real photo and a clear description
Set a pickup location with realistic hours
Customize your storefront — banner, profile photo, store name, "About" blurb
Share your store link with friends and family for early reviews
Print and share your QR code at your next farmers market or pop-up
Post your store on social media — Instagram, Facebook, your email list
Use the AI tools to generate product descriptions, social posts, and pricing suggestions
Why this order
The checklist is sequenced based on what we've seen drive first orders for new vendors. Photos before descriptions because shoppers scroll fast. Pickup location before product mix because no location means orders can't even be placed. Sharing the link with friends-and-family for the first orders because cold shoppers rarely buy from a brand-new store with zero reviews.
What happens when you finish
The checklist disappears from your dashboard once everything's done. From there, growth is mostly about marketing — see How do I start getting customers? and Get your first Homegrown order in 72 hours.
