START HERE: The Ivorey™ Foundations Checklist

Follow this checklist to set up the essentials and start making Ivorey™ work for your business!

let's get you started

Welcome to ivorey. These are the foundations to set up first, so your 1:1 clients, your scalable offers and marketing can all run from one place.

You don't need to build everything today, this checklist starts you off with the essentials. Work through the steps below, skipping any marked (optional) that don’t apply to you.

step 1: set up your business information

Your company logo, contact information, the currency and timezone you operate in, and more. Everything else in your account builds on this.

Please follow the steps in our Set Up Your Business Information guide.


step 2: connect your payment processor

In order to sell and get paid, you need an integrated payment processor. ivorey supports Stripe, PayPal, Square, NMI, Authorize.net, Adyen and Mercado Pago. Almost all members use Stripe, because it gives you the most functionality.

Please follow the steps in our Set Up Your Payment Processor guide.


step 3: set up your email sending services

Every member sets up their own dedicated sending domain. It's a one-time setup that builds your own sender reputation over time, so your emails land in the inbox and not the spam folder.

Please follow the steps in our Set Up Email Services guide.


step 4: create your brand board

Your brand board holds your logo, colours, typography and brand voice, so everything you build in ivorey feels cohesive and connected, and your clients get a consistent experience at every step of their journey.

Please follow the steps in our Create a Brand Board guide.


step 5: get your email templates set up for you (complimentary)

Send us your logo and headshot, and we’ll set them up in your account so they appear automatically across all 150+ email templates. It’s our welcome gift to you. 💌

submit your branding


step 6: complete your onboarding form

Tell us what matters most in your business right now: your 1:1 clients, your scalable offers or your marketing. Let us know if you're migrating from another platform or starting something new. We’ll help you identify your main priorities, so you can start building.
