## Create your dealer account

1. Open [dealer.wheewise.com](https://dealer.wheewise.com) and choose to create an account (sign in with Google or an emailed code).
2. Enter your business name, city and mobile number. No GST number or paperwork is needed to start.
3. You land on a short setup form for your shop page.

## Shop details

| Field | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| Shop name | Must be unique. It also becomes your shop address, for example `zaki.wheewise.com`. |
| Logo and cover photo | Upload from your device. Buyers see them on your shop page. |
| About | A short description (up to 500 characters). |
| Address, city, map link | Address and city are required. Add a Google Maps link so buyers get directions. |
| Business hours | Free text, up to 200 characters. |
| Gallery | Photos of your showroom or yard. |

Edit all of this at any time under **Storefront** in the menu (also in **Settings, Storefront**).

## Going live

- A shop becomes **active** once it has **5 vehicles listed and published**. Until then the dashboard shows how many more you need.
- Active shops show a verified tick on their shop page.
- When you publish a vehicle, buyers who tapped **Notify** on your shop are told (at most once a day for the same vehicle).

## Your shop website

Every shop has its own address, `<shop-name>.wheewise.com`, showing its live vehicles. In **Settings, Storefront**, under **Your shop website**, pick one of four looks and an optional **hero image** for the top of the page:

| Template | Look |
| --- | --- |
| Showroom | Bright and clean, with a banner photo. |
| Luxe | Dark and gold, with a split-screen top. |
| Bold | Big type, hard edges, a full-width photo. |
| Earth | Warm sand and green, with soft rounded cards. |

The hero image must be a photo you uploaded in the app. You can also show or hide your **sold count** there. For a fully custom website, see [Build your own website](https://www.wheewise.com/docs/ai-build-your-website).
