Key Takeaways & Learning Goals
  • Create your merchant account and specify store slug and currency.
  • Add products with pricing, images, and inventory tracking.
  • Connect your Meta Instagram/Facebook account for social selling.
  • Publish your live storefront and enable the AI employee autopilot.

1. Create Your Merchant Account & Store

When you first sign in to Conversora, you will be prompted to create your business organization. Conversora is built with multi-tenant isolation, allowing you to manage multiple separate brand stores under a single merchant profile.

1

Sign In & Navigate to Store Creation

Go to https://conversora.io/create-business or click 'Get Started' on the landing page.

Path:Conversora Home → Get Started → Create Business
2

Enter Store Identity

Provide your brand name (e.g. 'Aura Living'), choose your store slug (e.g. 'aura-living'), and select your primary operating currency (BDT, USD, EUR, etc.).

Path:Merchant Onboarding Form
3

Access Merchant Admin Console

Once created, you are immediately routed to your store admin hub at https://conversora.io/admin where your live dashboard is pre-configured.

Pro Tip

Your store slug defines your free hosted storefront URL at https://conversora.io/store/{slug}. You can also bind your custom domain (e.g. https://auraliving.com) at any time in Store Settings.

2. Add Your First Product & Inventory

Populating your catalog gives your storefront merchandise to display and feeds your AI employee with inventory context so it can answer customer inquiries accurately.

1

Navigate to Products

Click on 'Products' in the left sidebar navigation.

Path:Admin Console → Products → + Add Product
2

Input Product Details

Add your product Title, rich description, Price, Compare-at Price, SKU, and initial Stock quantity.

3

Upload Media & Variants

Drag and drop high-resolution photos. If your product comes in multiple sizes or colors, enable 'Variants' to define individual SKU stocks.

4

Publish to Storefront

Set the status to 'Active' and click 'Save Changes'. Your product is now live on your web storefront and searchable by the AI.

3. Connect Instagram & Facebook Messenger

Conversora's core superpower is transforming social direct messages into automated sales. By connecting your Meta business assets, incoming DMs are routed to your unified inbox.

1

Open Integrations Workspace

Go to 'Integrations' or 'Messaging' in the admin sidebar.

Path:Admin Console → Integrations → Meta Connect
2

Authorize Meta Permissions

Click 'Connect with Meta' and select your Facebook Page and linked Instagram Business Account. Grant the requested messaging permissions.

3

Verify Webhook Status

The platform automatically subscribes to real-time message webhooks. You will see a green 'Connected & Live' indicator.

4. Activate Your AI Employee

Navigate to 'Agents' in the sidebar to review your AI Employee settings. By default, Conversora is in 'Operator Co-pilot' mode where it drafts replies for your one-click approval. Once comfortable, you can switch to 'Full Autopilot' for 24/7 automated order capture.

Pro Tip

Add your store's return policy, delivery timelines, and phone number in 'Agents → Knowledge Base' so the AI answers buyer questions with exact accuracy.
