# Creating a Shop

> A step-by-step guide to setting up a new shop in Krisper.

Every location your business operates from — a branch, a salon, a store — is set up in Krisper as a **Shop**. This guide walks you through creating your first shop and shows you what to expect at each step.

<Note>
  You need to be logged in to your Krisper account before you can create a shop. If you don't have login access yet, contact your account administrator.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add Shop">
    In the top-right corner of the page, click the **+ Add Shop** button. A form panel slides in from the right side of the screen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2 — Fill in the shop details

The **Add New Shop** form is a single form — you don't need to go through multiple pages. Fields marked **required** must be filled in before you can save.

### Basic information

| Field                      | Required? | What to enter                                                                                                     |
| -------------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Shop Name**              | Required  | The name customers will recognize, e.g. "Krisper Salon - MG Road"                                                 |
| **Shop Code**              | Required  | A short internal code for this shop, e.g. "SHP001". Letters are automatically converted to uppercase              |
| **Phone Number**           | Required  | The shop's contact number, used for calls and for the WhatsApp QR code (see [Step 4](#step-4-your-shops-qr-code)) |
| **Address**                | Required  | The full street address of the shop                                                                               |
| **Country / State / City** | Optional  | Pick your country first — state and city options will then load based on your selection                           |
| **ZIP Code**               | Optional  | Up to 6 digits                                                                                                    |
| **Total Seats**            | Required  | The number of customers/clients this shop can serve at once                                                       |

### Business hours

| Field                     | Required?                   | What to enter                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Start Time / End Time** | Optional                    | The hours your shop is open each day. End time must be later than start time                                          |
| **Operating Days**        | Required (at least one day) | Tick the days of the week your shop is open. All seven days are ticked by default — untick any day the shop is closed |

<Tip>
  **Your progress is saved automatically.** If you start filling in the form and get interrupted, closing the panel won't lose your work — reopening **Add Shop** will restore what you typed. Use the **Clear Form** button if you want to start over from a blank form.
</Tip>

## Step 3 — Save the shop

Once all required fields are filled in, click **Create Shop** at the bottom of the panel.

* A confirmation message ("Shop created successfully") appears briefly at the top of the screen.
* The form panel closes automatically.
* Your new shop now appears at the top of the Shop list.

## Step 4 — Your shop's QR code

Click the **eye icon** next to any shop in the list to open its **Shop Details** view. Besides the shop's address and business hours, this is also where you'll find its **WhatsApp QR code**.

  <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/krisper/images/shop/shop-details-qr.png" alt="Shop details with QR code" />
</Frame>

* Customers who scan this QR code are taken straight to a WhatsApp chat with your shop's phone number — great for printing on receipts, counters, or storefronts.
* Use the **Download** button to save the QR code as a PDF, or **Print** to print it directly.

<Warning>
  If you ever update the shop's phone number, the existing QR code stops working correctly and will appear dimmed with a **Regenerate** button. Click it to generate a fresh QR code for the new number.
</Warning>

## Managing a shop after creation

From the Shop list, each shop has quick actions:

* **View** (eye icon) — opens the read-only Shop Details panel described above.
* **Edit** (pencil icon) — reopens the same form pre-filled with the shop's current details, so you can update any field.
* **Delete** (trash icon) — permanently removes the shop. This requires confirming by typing the exact shop name, and is only available to Super Admin accounts.

<Note>
  A shop marked **Archived** can no longer be edited or deleted from the list — this status is used for shops that are permanently closed but kept for historical records.
