Onboarding Wizard

On first launch, the dashboard runs a three-step wizard that gets new merchants productive in minutes:

1. Connect PSRESTful — paste your private API key; the wizard validates it before letting you continue.
2. Notification contacts — add at least one email address for async-job summaries.
3. Try it: import your first products — PromoSync imports two sample HIT Promo products into your store so you can inspect a finished PromoSync listing (variants, pricing tiers, metafields) before importing your full catalog.

The wizard remembers where you left off if you close the tab, and gates the regular dashboard until all three steps are complete. See the First-time Setup guide for the full walkthrough.

Storefront Widgets

Tier Pricing Block

Display quantity-based pricing tiers on product pages. Tier pricing is stored at the variant level in part_price_array:

{% raw %}{% assign tiers = variant.metafields.psrestful.part_price_array.value %}
{% if tiers %}
  <div class="tier-pricing">
    {% for tier in tiers %}
      <div class="tier">
        <span class="quantity">{{ tier.quantityMin }}+</span>
        <span class="price">{{ tier.price | divided_by: 100.0 | money }}</span>
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endif %}{% endraw %}

Note: Prices are stored as integers in cents (e.g., 1250 = $12.50).

Location Decorations Block

Show available decoration methods and locations:

{% raw %}{% assign locations = product.metafields.psrestful.location_decorations.value %}
{% if locations %}
  <div class="decoration-options">
    {% for location in locations %}
      <div class="location">
        <strong>{{ location.locationName }}</strong>
        <ul>
          {% for dec in location.decorations %}
            <li>{{ dec.decorationName }}</li>
          {% endfor %}
        </ul>
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
