Set up Nfelia in four steps

Getting started with Nfelia takes a few minutes on your phone. You create an account, then Nfelia asks four things in order: about your business, where customers pay you, how your business looks, and the link and look of your shop. Everything you type can be changed later. The free trial starts the day you sign up (14 days in Nigeria), with no card needed.

Before you start

You need a phone or computer with a browser and an email address you can open. Have these ready if you can. None of them is required to start:

• Your business phone number and WhatsApp number
• The bank or mobile money account customers pay into
• A picture of your logo (JPG, PNG or WebP)
• The name you want in your shop link, like ivieluxe for ivieluxe.nfelia.com

Create your account

1. Open the sign-up page

   Go to nfelia.com/register, or tap Start free at the top of any page on nfelia.com.

2. Fill in your details

   Type Your full name, Business name, Email address and a Password, then type the password again. The list under the password ticks each rule as you type: at least 9 characters, a capital letter, a number and a symbol.

3. Add a referral code, if you have one

   Tap Have a referral code? and type it. A referral link fills it in for you.

4. Tap Create my account

   You are signed in straight away and see Step 1 of 4. We also send a welcome email to the address you gave.

Step 1: About your business

This screen is called About your business. What you type here goes on your invoices, receipts and shop.

1. Choose your Country

   Pick it from the list. It sets your money and what Nfelia costs you each month, so it is the one field you must fill. If your country is not in the list, Nfelia is not open for sign-ups there yet: tell us on WhatsApp.

2. Answer What do you sell?

   Tap Products (things you keep in stock), Services (work you do for people) or Both.

3. Pick your Type of business

   For example fashion or beauty. It chooses the look your shop starts with, and where the Nfelia shop directory lists you.

4. Add your contact details

   A short line about your business and a registration number are optional. Add your Phone number, WhatsApp number and Shop or office address: they show on your invoices and quotes, and your shop's WhatsApp buttons use the WhatsApp number. Outside Nigeria, type the WhatsApp number with your country code, like +233 for Ghana.

5. Tap Save and continue

   You see Step 2 of 4.

Step 2: Money and payments

This screen is called Money and payments. Your Currency is already set from your country.

1. Add your VAT rate, if you charge VAT

   Type it in VAT or tax on your invoices (%), or leave it at 0. Nfelia fills it in on new quotes.

2. Add where customers pay you

   Under Where customers pay you, type the Bank name, Account number and Account name. A mobile money account works too: type its name, like MTN MoMo, as the bank name. This account shows on your invoices and at checkout on your website.

3. Tap Save and continue

   You see Step 3 of 4. No business account yet? Leave all three empty and add one later in Settings › Business › Payment accounts, where you can add more than one.

Step 3: How your business looks

This screen is called How your business looks. Your colours, lettering and logo go on every invoice, quote and receipt you send.

1. Pick your Main colour and Second colour

   Tap the colour box, or type a colour code like #8B004A. Skip it and you keep Nfelia's burgundy and gold.

2. Choose your Lettering

   Clean and modern, Classic and formal, or Bold and creative.

3. Add your logo

   Tap Choose a picture and pick your logo: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20MB.

4. Tap Save and continue

   You see Saved. One last step: your shop link and look.

Step 4: Your shop link and look

The last screen, Set up your shop, asks for two things, and you need both to carry on:

• Your shop link. Type the name you want in Shop name. Nfelia checks it as you type and says when it is free, or offers free names you could use. Use 3 to 30 letters, numbers or hyphens.
• Your look. Pick one of the 10 looks, each made for a kind of business. Tap See it full size to see your own shop in that look, then Use this look.

Tap Save my shop. You see Your shop is ready at yourname.nfelia.com and land on Home. The guide to setting up your website explains the link and the looks in full.

Find your way around

On a phone, five tabs sit at the bottom of the screen:

• Home: money that came in this month, what is still owed, what needs you, and today's plan.
• Orders: your orders, and above them the switches to Quotes, Invoices and Receipts.
• + (Create): New order, New quote, Add task, Add customer, Add product and, for owners and admins, Add expense.
• Tasks: your tasks and calendar.
• More: everything else, such as Catalogue, Clients, Debts, Shop Studio and Settings.

On a computer, the same places are in the menu on the left. Your records are the same on both.

Your first three jobs

1. Add what you sell. One by one, or many at once from a spreadsheet. See how to add products.
2. Share your shop link. Put it in your Instagram bio and on your WhatsApp Status. See your website.
3. Send your first invoice. Tap +, then New order. See how to send an invoice.
