How do I configure basic settings of SevDesk for my store?

To configure the basic settings of SevDesk for your store, follow these steps to ensure your account is tailored to your business needs:

1. **Account Setup**
After registering with SevDesk, log in to your dashboard. Navigate to the settings menu, usually found in the lower-left corner or under your profile icon.

2. **Company Information**
Go to “Company Data” or “Firmendaten.” Enter your store’s legal name, address, contact details, and tax information. This data will appear on your invoices and other documents. Upload your company logo for branding.

3. **Tax Settings**
Under “Tax Settings” or “Steuereinstellungen,” select your country and specify your VAT or sales tax rates. If you are VAT-registered, enter your VAT ID. Configure whether your prices are shown with or without tax, depending on your business model.

4. **Bank Account Integration**
In the “Bank Accounts” section, connect your business bank account. This allows SevDesk to automatically import transactions, making reconciliation and bookkeeping easier.

5. **Invoice and Document Templates**
Go to “Document Templates” or “Vorlagen.” Customize your invoice, offer, and delivery note templates. Adjust the layout, add your logo, and set default texts (e.g., payment terms, thank you notes). You can also set default payment deadlines and reminders.

6. **Numbering System**
In “Number Ranges” or “Nummernkreise,” define how your invoices, offers, and other documents are numbered. This helps maintain order and compliance with legal requirements.

7. **User Management**
If you have employees, invite them under “Users” or “Benutzer.” Assign roles and permissions based on their responsibilities (e.g., accounting, sales).

8. **Product and Service Catalog**
Under “Products & Services” or “Artikel & Leistungen,” add your store’s products or services. Enter names, descriptions, prices, and tax rates. This speeds up invoice creation and ensures consistency.

9. **Payment Methods**
In “Payment Methods,” set up the ways your customers can pay (e.g., bank transfer, PayPal, credit card). Link payment providers if needed.

10. **Email Settings**
Configure your email settings so that invoices and offers are sent from your store’s email address. Set up email templates for different document types.

11. **Language and Currency**
Set your preferred language and currency in the general settings to match your store’s location and customer base.

12. **Legal Texts**
Add any required legal texts, such as terms and conditions or privacy policies, to your documents.

After completing these steps, your SevDesk account will be ready for daily use, tailored to your store’s requirements. For more detailed guidance, visit SevDesk’s official website or contact SevDesk support.
