Here is a list of the different steps you need to go through to have a store ready for opening.
Regarding the timeline, setting up credit card agreements usually takes a few weeks, so start this process immediately. It can be quite messy to open without a card agreement.
The setup of WeCircle can usually be completed quickly, but we prefer to start well in advance so the process does not become stressful.
General to-do’s for a new store (system related)

Creation of an online card agreement. We recommend using Stripe outside of Denmark and Norway.

Purchase of hardware (see below).
Purchase of labels. We use Mikkel Stilling from MPH Nordic, phone +45 31420033.
Labels measure 60×32 mm, but he knows exactly which ones are needed and the correct adhesive etc.
We also purchase alarms, pins, tagging guns etc. from him. In our experience he is always fair to deal with.Purchase of receipt rolls. These are standard 8 cm width.
