Demo and test access

This article walks through the first phase of our collaboration: getting in touch, the demo store we build for you, and trying it out.

1. Initial contact

Reach out to us by email at info@putiikkipalvelu.fi or through the contact form on our website. Tell us briefly about your company and what you sell — we use that information to build the demo store in the next step.

2. Demo store

Based on your initial contact, we build a quick demo store: an example of what your store could look like. The demo isn't a finished, fully customized version of your store — it's a directional preview that gives you a feel for the platform.

3. Demo preview

You'll get a demo link where you can see your store as customers would. The link is temporary and excluded from search engine indexing, so you can safely share it with your team or close ones for feedback.

4. Dashboard test access

In addition to the storefront demo, you get test access to the dashboard at test.putiikkipalvelu.fi. Your email serves as the username, and you'll receive your own login credentials.

From the dashboard you can:

• Browse products and categories
• Try managing orders and customers
• Explore settings, reports, and other features

The same test environment is also used by our developer. During the build phase, they create test categories and products in the dashboard to check how the store looks in different situations — so you may see these as work progresses. They're part of the development process.

5. Meeting and contract

If you want to continue after trying the demo, we set up a meeting to go over the details and sign a contract. The meeting covers:

• What features and customizations you need
• Timeline and pricing
• Shipping methods, payment providers, and other practical matters

Once the contract is signed, we start building the actual store.

The next phase covers creating the store settings.
