# First Steps

Here, we'll guide you through the essential setup steps, from listing your first item to configuring basic settings. Additionally, we'll offer some helpful recommendations to optimize your profits and experience.

**New to RestocksAIO?** When you first launch the application, you'll be greeted with an interactive onboarding tour that walks you through all major features. Check out our [Onboarding Guide](/getting-started/onboarding-guide.md) to learn what to expect!

To use StockX effectively, you need access to their developer program. Follow this [link ](/problem-solving/tutorials/how-i-can-get-access-to-the-public-stockx-api.md)to learn how to request access.

POIZON uses OAuth instead of a username/password login inside RestocksAIO. If you have an eligible POIZON seller account, connect it from **Settings > Accounts > POIZON > Connect POIZON**. See [Connect POIZON](/features/affiliate-program/accounts/connect-poizon.md) for the full flow.

## Recommended setup order

1. **Install and open RestocksAIO.** Complete the onboarding tour if it appears.
2. **Confirm your plan or trial.** Standard trial gives access to Standard features for 7 days. Premium trial gives Premium access for 3 days, with Bricker Mode limited to 5 controllers during the trial.
3. **Connect your main selling accounts.** Go to **Settings > Accounts** and add the marketplaces you actively use.
4. **Set site options before pricing.** Review VAT, fee, routing and API options under each account before creating Bricker tasks or comparing payouts.
5. **Import or add inventory.** Add one item manually first, then move to CSV import or barcode scanning once your account settings are correct.
6. **Create your first listing or Bricker task.** Start with a small test item so you can verify payout, VAT and marketplace behavior before bulk actions.
7. **Enable notifications.** Configure Discord, Telegram or Webhook API notifications so sales and automation events reach you outside the app.

## Account login notes

Different marketplaces use different login methods:

* **StockX**: use **StockX Browser Login** when your account uses passkeys, Windows Hello, Bitwarden, email verification, SMS verification or another browser-based challenge.
* **POIZON**: use **Connect POIZON**. POIZON authorizes RestocksAIO through the browser and redirects back through the RestocksAIO callback page.
* **Facebook/Google login accounts**: use the Cookie Importer when a marketplace account cannot be added with a normal username and password.

## Before bulk work

Before importing a large CSV, creating many listings, or starting Bricker Mode at scale, check these items:

* Your site-specific VAT and fee options match the marketplace account.
* The correct account/profile is selected for each marketplace.
* Proxies are configured if a feature or marketplace needs them.
* Your first test listing or scan returns the expected payout and size.
* Notifications are enabled if you want remote alerts.
