Start & Scale with Elixmode

Everything you need — from setting up your first store to connecting every integration. One place, step by step.

🚀
Getting Started — Build Your Store
Follow these steps in order. Takes about 15 minutes.
1
Create your Elixmode account
Sign up and enter your store

Go to elixmode.lovable.app and click Start Now for Free. Enter your email and create a password. No credit card needed.

Once logged in, you'll land on the AI Buddy chat. This is where you describe your business. Type something like:
"I sell handmade candles. Set up my store."

The AI will ask a few questions — your business name, what you sell, and your preferred theme. Answer naturally. Your store is built in under 60 seconds.

2
Add your products
Upload products with photos, prices & descriptions

Go to Products → Add Product in the left sidebar. Fill in:

  • Product name — keep it clear and searchable
  • Price — in INR or your chosen currency
  • Description — click Generate with AI to auto-write it
  • Photos — upload at least 2–3 images. Square format (1:1) works best
  • Stock — enter current inventory count so low-stock alerts work

You can also ask AI Buddy: "Add a product called Sterling Silver Ring, price ₹1299, 50 in stock" — it does it for you.

3
Set up payments
Connect Razorpay — UPI, cards, COD all activate

Go to Plugins → Razorpay Payments. You need a Razorpay account (free to create at razorpay.com).

  • In Razorpay dashboard → Settings → API Keys → Generate Key
  • Copy your Key ID and Key Secret
  • Paste both into Elixmode's Razorpay plugin and click Connect

Once connected: UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), debit/credit cards, net banking, and Cash on Delivery are all live automatically. GST invoices are auto-generated per order.

4
Brand your store
Logo, colors, theme and store name

Go to Dashboard → Customize Store. Here you can:

  • Upload your logo (PNG with transparent background recommended)
  • Choose a theme — 5 are available, each suited to different business types
  • Set primary and accent colors to match your brand
  • Edit your store's tagline and homepage headline
  • Add an About Us section and contact details

You can also ask AI Buddy: "Make my store look more minimal and modern, use dark green as the accent color."

5
Connect a custom domain
Replace the default URL with your own .com

Go to Domains in the sidebar. If you have a domain (e.g. from GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Cloudflare):

  • Enter your domain in the field and click Add
  • Elixmode will show you DNS records to add (a CNAME and TXT record)
  • Go to your domain registrar → DNS settings → add those records
  • DNS propagation takes 10 minutes to 24 hours

No domain yet? You can buy one directly from Elixmode's Domains page. Your store will also work on the default yourstore.elixmode.app URL until then.

6
Get your first order
Share your store link and track orders

Your store is live. Now share it:

  • Copy your store URL from the Dashboard and share it on Instagram, WhatsApp, or wherever your audience is
  • Use the built-in WhatsApp Checkout link to let customers place orders directly on WhatsApp
  • Go to Orders to see incoming orders in real time

When an order arrives: click it → mark as Confirmed → once shipped, click Mark Shipped and enter the tracking number. Elixmode automatically sends the customer a WhatsApp update.

Check Reports daily for revenue, top products, and conversion data. AI Buddy will send you a morning summary automatically.

SC

How to connect via API
  • 1Go to search.google.com/search-console → Add Property → enter your store's full URL.

  • 4Back in Search Console → click Verify. Once verified, go to Sitemaps → enter sitemap.xml → Submit.

Track Facebook and Instagram ad conversions. See exactly which ads lead to purchases, build custom audiences from store visitors, and run retargeting campaigns.
How to connect via API
  • 1Go to business.facebook.com → Events Manager → Connect Data Sources → Web → Create a Pixel. Name it and enter your store URL.

  • 3In Elixmode: Plugins → Meta Pixel → paste the Pixel ID → click Save.
  • 4Use the Meta Pixel Helper Chrome extension to confirm the pixel is firing on your store pages.

AD
Google Ads
Marketing
Track which Google Ads lead to purchases on your store. Enables conversion tracking so Google's algorithm can optimize your campaigns for actual sales, not just clicks.
How to connect via API
  • 1Log into ads.google.com → Tools → Measurement → Conversions → New Conversion Action → Website.
  • 2Set up a "Purchase" conversion. You'll get a Conversion ID (like AW-XXXXXXXXX) and a Conversion Label.
  • 3In Elixmode: Plugins → Google Ads → paste both the Conversion ID and Conversion Label → click Save.
  • 4Place a test order on your store, then check Google Ads → Conversions to confirm it recorded within 24 hours.

CL
Microsoft Clarity

How to connect via API
  • 1Go to clarity.microsoft.com → sign in with Microsoft → Create New Project → enter your store URL.

  • 3In Elixmode: Plugins → Pinterest Tag → paste the Tag ID → click Save.
  • 4Use Pinterest's Tag Helper browser extension to verify it's firing on your store.
Tip: Pinterest works best for visual products (fashion, home decor, food). If your products are in these categories, Pinterest ads often have lower CPCs than Meta.
SN
Snapchat Pixel
Marketing
Track Snapchat ad conversions on your store. Measures purchases and page views from Snap campaigns. Useful if your audience is under 25 — Snapchat's strongest demographic.
How to connect via API
  • 1Log into ads.snapchat.com → Business → Events Manager → New Pixel → Web Pixel. Name it and confirm.

  • 3In Elixmode: Plugins → Printful → paste the API Token → click Connect.
  • 4In Printful, create your products with your designs. They'll sync to Elixmode automatically. When a customer orders, Elixmode notifies Printful and they handle everything.

SR

Shipping

Email & SMS
Send order SMS notifications to Indian customers. Reliable transactional SMS with DLT compliance (required for all business SMS in India). Covers order confirmation, shipping, and OTPs.
How to connect via API

Scale — Grow Your Business
Once your store is running, use these to grow faster.

Use AI Buddy for daily insights
Your morning briefing, revenue alerts, and action items

AI Buddy sends a daily summary every morning with: total revenue, orders, top-selling product, low-stock alerts, and one suggested action.

You can also ask it anything: "Which product had the most views last week?", "How many customers from Delhi placed orders this month?", "Why did conversions drop yesterday?"

Think of it as a business analyst that's always on. Don't ignore the suggestions — they're based on your actual data.

▲
Set up automations
New order, low stock, abandoned cart — automate all of it

Go to Automations in the sidebar. Recommended automations to turn on immediately:

  • New Order → WhatsApp confirmation — instant message to customer
  • Low Stock (≤5 units) → Alert to you — never run out without warning
  • New Customer → Welcome message — builds loyalty from day one
  • Abandoned Cart (2 hrs) → Recovery WhatsApp — recovers 10–20% of lost sales
  • Order Delivered → Review request (day 3) — builds social proof

Each automation has a toggle — switch on and it runs automatically. No ongoing work needed.

▲
Run discounts and offers
Coupon codes, flash sales, and festive campaigns

Go to Discounts to create coupon codes. You can set:

  • Percentage off (e.g. 20% on all products)
  • Fixed amount off (e.g. ₹100 off orders above ₹500)
  • Free shipping discount codes
  • Expiry dates for urgency
  • Usage limits (e.g. first 50 customers only)

For flash sales: change product prices directly and use WhatsApp Broadcast (in Emails → WhatsApp) to notify your existing customers with the offer link.

▲

  • AI Business Assistant with daily summaries
  • Advanced analytics and conversion reports
  • Priority support (response within hours, not days)
