Introduction: When you first install Active Catalogs and confirm your plan, you’ll be guided through a Welcome Flow. This optional three-step setup helps you brand your catalog before your first PDF is generated. Even if you skip steps, you can always update your logo and font later in Settings.
We recommend you add a default Catalog Logo, choose your Catalog Font, and watch our 90-second Demo before making your first catalog.
Welcome Flow Step 1: Upload Your Catalog Logo
On the Welcome screen, click Upload Catalog Logo.
Choose an image file from your device.
Once uploaded, your logo appears in the preview area.
👉 Outcome: Your logo is saved, and you’re automatically moved to the Font Selection step.
Welcome Flow Step 2: Choose a Font
Click Continue to Font.
Select a font style from the available options.
👉 Outcome: The selected font is highlighted and applied to your catalog preview.
Welcome Flow Step 3: Preview Your Catalog
Click Continue to Preview.
A sample PDF generates, showing your uploaded logo, chosen font, and active products from your store.
👉 Outcome: You can review your catalog branding before finalizing.
Welcome Flow Step 4: Complete Setup
Click Yes, Let’s Get Started.
👉 Outcome: You’re redirected to the Get Started Dashboard, your homepage until you create your first catalog.
