# The Qyvea Vendor Setup Wizard: What It Asks For and Why

After you sign up, a setup wizard guides you through the details Qyvea needs to pay you and to show your products properly.

**Quick answer:** The wizard collects your business details, how you want to be paid and your first products. Prepare your payout details and product list first and you will finish in minutes.

## Business details

Your business name, contact and location. Use the name your customers and suppliers know you by.

## Payout method

Choose M-Pesa phone, Till, Paybill or bank. Type numbers carefully and check them twice. A wrong digit sends money to the wrong place. See choosing a payout method .

## First products

Start with a handful of your best-moving products. You can add the rest later by hand or CSV.

## After the wizard

You land on your dashboard where you can see requests, orders, statements and performance.

## A pre-flight checklist

Business name exactly as customers know it. Phone number you answer and an email you read daily. Payout details copied from a reliable source, not typed from memory. A list of products with prices and units in stock. Photos saved on your phone and named by model.

## After the wizard, before the first alert

Spend a few minutes testing your setup. Sign out and sign in again to confirm your password works. Check that Qyvea emails reach your inbox and not spam. Open the dashboard on your phone, because that is where you will most often respond. A little preparation now means you will not fumble when your first countdown starts.

## Questions people ask during setup

Which name do I use? The one you want on your statements and records. Which phone number? One you answer in working hours. Can I add more products later? Yes, any time. Can I change payout details? Yes, but confirm before the next payout. What if I get stuck? Message Qyvea on WhatsApp.

## Set expectations early

The wizard gets your account ready, but the real work is keeping it accurate: stock, prices and photos. Decide today who in your business is responsible for each. If you work alone, set a daily ten-minute slot for it. Small, regular upkeep beats occasional big clean-ups.

## A typical scenario

A supplier prepares a note with the Till number and ten product names, then completes the wizard in under fifteen minutes. Illustrative example based on common cases, not a named vendor.

## Common mistakes

Typing the wrong Till or phone number. Skipping payout details. Using a nickname as the business name.

## Quick checklist

Have payout details ready. Double-check numbers. Pick starter products.
