Start & Scale with ELIXMODE

Go to elixmode.dev 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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The free Starter plan is enough to validate and launch. Upgrade to Growth (₹999/mo) when you need:

• More than 100 products
• WhatsApp Integration for automated order messages
• AI Business Assistant with daily summaries
• Advanced analytics and conversion reports
• Priority support (response within hours, not days)

Go to Plans in the sidebar. Annual billing saves 20%. Cancel anytime — your store stays live, you just revert to Starter limits.

Go to A/B Testing in the sidebar. Create a test by choosing what to compare:

• Store theme — two layouts shown to different visitors
• Product pricing — e.g. ₹999 vs ₹1,199 on the same product
• Headlines and copy — different hero text or product descriptions
• Checkout flow — one-page vs multi-step checkout

Traffic is split automatically between versions. ELIXMODE tracks conversions for each and tells you which one is winning, with a confidence score — no spreadsheets needed.

Run a test for at least a week or 100 visitors per version before deciding. Ending too early can give a false winner.

Go to Import Store in the sidebar. Choose your platform:

• Shopify — products, variants, inventory, customers, orders, discounts
• WooCommerce — products, variants, categories, customers, orders, coupons
• CSV file — for Shopify/WooCommerce exports, ELIXMODE format, or a plain customer list

Your original store is only read from — it is never changed or cancelled. Review everything inside ELIXMODE before you decide to switch over or run both in parallel.

Wix, BigCommerce, and Magento imports are coming soon. For now, export your products as a CSV from those platforms and use the CSV option.
