# Prepare to get started Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/prerequisites-to-getting-started · Last modified 21 August 2026 Use this topic to work out what you need to do next, whether you are still evaluating StoreConnect or ready to install it. Choose your path: - **Still evaluating.** Take the training courses and explore StoreConnect in a Salesforce trial org first. You do not need to buy anything to start. - **Ready to install.** Prepare your Salesforce org, then install the package. A Salesforce org is required either way. StoreConnect uses Salesforce as its database with live two-way sync, so there is no separate API integration to maintain. ## Evaluate StoreConnect ### Study at the StoreConnect Academy Nothing prepares you for working in Salesforce and StoreConnect like our [Academy training courses](https://storeconnect.academy/). Start with Fundamentals and work through Admin training, up to Theme Development. ### Explore a trial org (optional) To evaluate StoreConnect against your own data without committing to an installation, see [explore StoreConnect in a Salesforce trial org](install-storeconnect-to-a-salesforce-trial-org). You are prompted to sign up for a Salesforce org if you do not have one. ## Install StoreConnect ### Before you begin Confirm all of the following before you start the installation: - You have Salesforce administrator permissions to change org settings and install managed packages. - Your Salesforce org meets the edition, object, and user requirements. See the [Salesforce org compatibility guide](storeconnect-compatibility-guide). - **Lightning Web Security** is enabled in your org. StoreConnect uses dynamic imports in its Lightning Web Components, and Salesforce only allows these when Lightning Web Security is active. Installation fails without it. See [enable Lightning Web Security](enable-lightning-web-security). ### Install the package Use the [quick start](quick-start) to install StoreConnect, then follow the [getting started checklist](get-started-with-storeconnect) to complete the initial setup. You get a free trial period to get comfortable with StoreConnect before you are billed. :::tip Subscribe to service status updates at [status.storeconnect.com](https://status.storeconnect.com) so you hear about incidents and scheduled maintenance before they affect your store. ::: --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://getstoreconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://getstoreconnect.com/partners) - [News](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/events) - [Feature Comparison](https://getstoreconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://getstoreconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS --- StoreConnect Support — https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/prerequisites-to-getting-started
