Where to find itStore setupHow do you want to start?
Before you start
The page appears only while a demo store is on offer to your shop and you have not started setup.
Who can use this
Shop owner, Shop Manager
A new shop is asked How do you want to start? before the first setup step. You can do the other one later, so neither choice is final.

Skip to dashboard leaves the page without choosing.
The demo card shows a sample store under Suggested for your store when you answered "What do you sell?" at sign-up, or under For example when you did not.
When you see this page
It opens in place of step 1 when you reach store setup for the first time:
right after sign-up on a platform with instant approval;
after you select Start free trial or Continue to store setup on Plan & billing;
from the Setup chip in the top bar.
The Start setup button on the dashboard card goes straight to step 1 and counts as choosing your real store.
Other places that offer the demo store
While the demo is on offer, you can also open it from:
the dashboard card: Explore a demo store beside Start setup, or the link Try with demo data once setup has begun;
the line above every setup step, "Want to look around first?", with Explore a demo store. The × hides the line until you close the browser;
