How it works
You run the workshop; we build the shop. From sign-up to your first order usually takes 2–4 weeks, all online and by email. No calls, no meetings. Start your shop.
Set-up steps
Sign up online
Choose your plan and tell us about your shop. It takes about five minutes.
Usually Day 1
Pay and verify
We email your secure link to pay the set-up fee and upload your RNPS registration and ID. We check them before we build.
Usually Within one working day
We copy your products and prices
From your current site or your price list. We set up the price editor and your extras, and match each design to your products.
Usually 1–2 weeks
We design your website
Your supplier name and postcode go in the plate footer, exactly as registered. Your site is designed to your plan: a one-page shop in your colours on Starter, a custom home page and a page for each character style on Pro, a fully custom site on Complete. You review a private preview and ask for changes by email.
Usually 3–5 working days
Connect Stripe
You open (or already have) your own Stripe account. We connect it and switch on Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Usually 1 working day
Test orders
On your private preview we run real test orders: a road-legal order with documents, a show plate, a failed then successful card payment.
Usually 2–3 working days
Go live
We point your domain at the new shop, switch Stripe to live and watch the first orders come in with you.
Usually 1 working day
