Getting started with Startship
From sign-up to your first synced order in six steps.
01Before you begin
You'll need access to your HKTVmall MMS account (as the store owner or an admin) and about 15 minutes. A barcode scanner and label printer help, but you can start without them.
02Set up in six steps
- Step 1Sign up. Create your account with your work email. This creates your company in Startship.
- Step 2Choose billing. Startship is HK$1,000 monthly or HK$10,000 yearly, with unlimited stores, orders, users and warehouses and a 14-day free trial.
- Step 3Create your warehouse. Add your warehouse and, if you like, its bin locations (e.g. A-01-03). You can add more later.
- Step 4Connect your store. Connect your HKTVmall store with your store code, UUID and private key. See the HKTVmall guide.
- Step 5Map your SKUs. Match each HKTVmall SKU to a master SKU in Startship, including bundles. Orders with unmapped SKUs wait in the exceptions list.
- Step 6Your first order sync. Startship pulls your recent orders right away, then checks for new ones every 5 minutes. They'll appear in the order pool ready to pick.
03Next
Invite your team from Settings → Users and give each person a role (Admin, Warehouse staff or Viewer). Then set up your printer so labels come out the right size.
