Short paths replace one long manual. Your role, completed lessons and next lesson are saved on this device; signed-in studios also keep operational progress in their account.
Create your studio at /signup — your studio name becomes your brand, and Vectiform assigns your login ID (e.g. STUDIO001). Set a password so you can sign in with just your email or login ID. Save your owner key from the signup recap in a password manager — it is your master recovery credential and is shown only once.
Sign up — your studio name becomes your brand across every page. Save your owner key somewhere safe (a password manager). It is shown once and is how you sign back in.
Lay one tray flat in even light — phone camera straight above, no glare. Open the first-scan wizard and upload the photo (or try the sample tray first).
Anything the AI was unsure about waits in the review queue — nothing goes live without you. Fix a name or material before approving; every correction becomes a permanent example that improves YOUR next scan.
Give each bead a bin code that matches your physical container labels — production tickets route pickers by bin. Add outer diameter and drill-hole size where you know them: the fit checker warns when a cord won’t pass (carrier ≤ hole − 0.05mm).
Your hosted studio and 3D customizer are live the moment beads are approved — share the links anywhere. On your own website, paste the one-line embed script (Dashboard → Design Board shows it) to put the customizer on your domain.
Open Live Mode on the device you film with — instant search, material chips, and a fullscreen spotlight for the camera. Facebook Live works too: add the Shop Window to OBS as a browser source, and point a ManyChat or Zapier comment automation at your live-claim webhook (Settings → Store orders webhook page).
Orders arrive from your store webhook, the customizer, or manual entry — each becomes one production order. Print the Blueprint ticket: bead-by-bead sequence with bin locations and tolerance warnings.
Create a partner with their pieces listed ("Name @ 48" per line) — they get a private portal to e-sign and record sales. Weigh the box, quote USPS (free), then buy the label with your PIN. Track it live; the partner confirms receipt in their portal.
Stripe: pick a plan in Payments; Stripe Connect onboarding enables customizer checkout paid straight to you. Shippo: paste your API key + ship-from + a buy PIN in Shipping setup — quoting stays free, buying always asks for the PIN.
Payments → Export my data downloads everything your studio owns as one JSON file — no lock-in, ever. Invite staff with roles: makers see production work, never partner finances or billing.
