# Get Live in 15 Minutes

> Go from a new account to Asa live on your storefront in about 15 minutes.

<Steps titleSize="h4">
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [asa.so](https://asa.so) and click **Sign In** in the top right. Create an account with your email and set a password. Complete account verification. When you finish, you land in your Asa dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your content">
    Asa answers from what it knows. Go to **Add Content** in the sidebar.

    **On Shopify?** Connect it first — it is your most valuable source. Train **products**, **blogs**, **pages**, and **policies**; Shopify keeps them in sync after that.

    <Card title="Connect Shopify" href="/integrations/shopify" arrow="true" icon="shopify" horizontal>
      Connect your store and choose what Asa should learn from.
    </Card>

    **Everything else** — use the tabs across the top:

    | Tab          | What to add                                                     |
    | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Apps**     | Shopify, Notion, Google Drive, Judge.me, Yotpo, Klaviyo Reviews |
    | **Files**    | PDFs, CSVs, Docs — policies, guides, spec sheets                |
    | **Websites** | Any URL Asa can read and learn from                             |
    | **Snippet**  | Paste text directly — short policies or FAQs                    |

    <Tip>
      Start with products and policies. They answer most shopper questions. Add the rest after you are live.
    </Tip>

    After you connect apps or upload content, go to **Manage Content** to watch training status in real time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm your content is trained">
    Go to **Manage Content** in the sidebar. Wait until every source shows **Trained** before moving on.

    </Frame>

    Click **View content** on any trained row to see what Asa extracted. If something looks wrong, delete the source and retrain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customize to match your brand">
    Go to **Configuration** in the sidebar, then **Appearance** or **Responses**.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Appearance">
        Set your avatar, brand color, widget position, assistant name, and other appearance settings. The preview panel on the right updates in real time.

        </Frame>

        <Tip>
          Set your avatar, brand color, and assistant name first. You can refine the rest later.
        </Tip>
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Responses">
        Under **Responses**, use three tabs:

        * **Behaviour** — tone of voice, response length, proactive messages, and storefront event tracking
        * **Guidance** — written instructions for how Asa should speak and when to ask follow-ups
        * **Handover** — where shoppers go when they need a person (email, redirect URL, or [Gorgias](/integrations/gorgias))

      <Tab title="Shopify">
        <Note>
          Today, deploy with **Shopify (Custom App)** — paste a snippet in your theme via the theme editor. A Shopify App Store listing is in review; install-from-store deploy will be simpler once it is live.
        </Note>

        On the **Shopify (Custom App)** card, click **Deploy**. A sidesheet opens with step-by-step instructions. Follow them in order.

        </Frame>
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Other platforms">
        Click **Deploy** on the card for your stack:

        * **HTML/JS Website**
        * **Headless Storefront (NextJS)**
        * **WhatsApp** (coming soon)
        * **Instagram** (coming soon)
        * **Voice** (coming soon)
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    <Tip>
      Want to test before going live? Open the **Playground** tab under **Configuration > Deploy**.
    </Tip>

    After you deploy, open your storefront and ask Asa about a product or policy as a shopper would. You are live.
