The setup steps open for an owner or administrator of a new account, right after they confirm their first shop. If they do not open for you, set up your taxes, shop fees, labor rate and distributors in Shop Settings. See Change a setting later.
Right after you confirm your first shop, the same card continues through four settings: taxes, shop fees, labor rate and distributors. Each step shows the same form as its Settings page. Anything you save in a step appears on that Settings page too. Every step is optional, and you can change everything later.

​
Skip a step

Select Skip for now to leave a step for later. TireTutor asks you first:
  • Select Skip for now in the dialog to move on.
  • Select Stay to go back to the step.
Skip this step? dialog reading You can set up distributors any time later in Settings, with Stay and Skip for now buttons.

Skipping asks first, and names the step you are leaving.

A skipped step keeps its number in the row of steps at the top, with Skipped under its name. A step you saved or continued shows a check mark.

​
Move on without saving your changes

A step saves only when you select its save button. If you change a field and then select Continue, TireTutor asks before it moves on:
  • Select Go back to return to the step. Then save your changes.
  • Select Continue without saving to leave the changes unsaved.
You haven't saved your changes dialog reading If you continue, the changes on this step won't be saved, with Go back and Continue without saving buttons.

Continue asks first when a step has changes you have not saved.

A step that you continue without saving counts as skipped, unless you saved it earlier. To go back a step, select Back at the bottom left of the card. Back shows from Add shop fees and service charges on. It keeps every check mark and Skipped label.

​
Finish setup now or later

The last step, Your shop is ready, lists each setting as set up or skipped. Each skipped setting has a link, such as Set up distributors in Settings, that opens its Settings page.
Your shop is ready. Taxes: set up. Shop fees: set up. Labor rates: set up. Distributors: skipped, with a Set up distributors in Settings link. A Finish setup button.

The summary lists what you set up and links each skipped step to Settings.

  • Finish setup completes setup for your whole business. The steps stop opening by themselves, for you and for every other administrator.
  • Finish later, at the top of every step, closes the steps for you only. Another administrator of your business still sees them.
To open the steps again yourself, go to dealers.tiretutor.com/onboarding/setup.

​
Change a setting later

To find taxes, shop fees and labor rates:
  1. In the left menu, select Shop Settings → More Settings.
  2. In the settings menu, under Organization, select Taxes, Shop Fees or Labor Rates.
To find distributors, select Shop Settings → Distributors in the left menu.

How you know it worked

After Finish setup, your TireTutor dashboard opens on the home page. Each setting you saved shows on its Settings page.
