Now you're in the Showroom! But what do you do now?

First, we'll show you around some of the Showroom's basic functionalities. Let's begin!

Entering the Showroom

When entering the Showroom, you'll land in your presentation overview.

If you have not created your own presentation yet, this page will appear empty. Start creating your own presentation, or duplicate one of your colleague's presentations.

The presentation overview

This is where you will find all your presentations and any presentation created by your colleagues.

You can go to the drop-down menu to view 'All' presentations and duplicate a presentation of one of your colleagues, or create one from scratch. Check out below how you can create a new presentation!

The Showroom launch page

From here, you have access to 4 brand videos to welcome your customer into your brand's world and the collection. Or, dive into your presentation straightaway!

When you go into the Selection tab, you can review your selection with your customers and make tweaks from there.

Draft your order

You have the ability to draft your order already in the Stitch Showroom.

You can enter quantities per SKU to all items that you have added to the Selection, and have preliminary discussions about quantities and budgets during your appointment.
​
Depending on if there's an existing connection to your order management system, you might be able to send off your draft order to the order management system to finalize and submit your actual order.
