Finish your setup checklist

In short

Your setup score shows how much of your brand's setup is done and what to do next. Open your brand in the Owner Account to see it, or open Go live for the full list of steps.

  • Getting started
  • Updated October 2026

The score is worked out from what really exists, like a plan on sale or a way to get paid. Pressing a button never ticks a step by itself.

The steps, in order

  • Live chat on your website (optional)
  • Something to sell
  • Your website (optional)
  • A way to get paid
  • Open for real orders
  • Payments that arrive by themselves (optional)
  • Your own domain (optional)
  • Your team (optional)

Steps

  1. Open Owner Account and choose your brand. The Setup of Bright Hosting card shows your score and the next step.
  2. Click the next step's button, for example Add a way to get paid. Some steps open your brand admin in a new tab.
  3. Come back when you are done. The step shows as done once the thing exists.
  4. To see every step at once, click Go live in the menu. To walk through them one by one, click See all setup steps on the card, or Do these one at a time on Go live.

Optional steps

An optional step says so. If it is not for you, click Not for me and it stops counting in your score. Click Put it back to add it again. Your score reaches 100% once every step is done or marked Not for me. Optional steps never stop you going live.

What happens next

The first time you open your brand, the setup wizard opens by itself. You can leave it any time with Skip for now, or move on with Do this later. When your score reaches 100%, the score card goes away.

Common problems

I finished a step but it is not ticked

Make sure the thing really exists, then come back to the page. The list reads it again when you return.
