# Start Here

Welcome to Pixel Proof - that platform that aims to keep merchants compliant with their approved MIDs by monitoring offers, ensuring proper usage, and flagging any deviations (matches) from agreed upon terms.

## Get Started

Getting started is fast and simple with these 4 steps.

1. **Add a Merchant**

   1. Start by clicking on the "Merchants" link on your left menu. Then click on the "Add Merchants" button on the top right. In the popup, add your merchant's name, company, email, phone number and whether their current status is active or inactive.\
      \
      When finished click, "Create Merchant"

2. **Add a Store**

   1. Click on the "Stores" menu link on your left menu. Then click the "Add Store" button in the top right. In the popup, select the merchant you added in the dropdown. Enter their MID, select whether the store is Active or Inactive and finally what domains are allowed/approved for this particular store.\
      \
      When finished, click "Create Store".

3. **Setup Tracking Link**

   1. Click on the three dots (...) next to the store you just created. From this menu, click on "Get tracking link".\
      \
      You'll see  a popup with a Script Tag that should be placed before the closing \</body> tag on every page of the merchant's store where activity should be tracked. \
      \
      **To simplify this process, there is a "Send Instructions" link in the bottom left of this popup that will allow you send this directly to the email (for the merchant) that you specify.**

4. **Add a Gateway**
   1. Click on the "Gateway" link in the left menu. Then click on the "Add Gateway" button. In the popup, select the store you created in the prior step. Select the gateway type (more will be added in time). And give the gateway a name. Tick off whether it is active (allowing it to sync transactions) or not. \
      \
      **NOTE: When you select a gateway, you may be required to enter a username/password on the popup screen.**\
      \
      When finished, click on "Create Gateway".\ <br>

\
And that's it! You've setup your first Merchant, their store, their gateway and can now begin viewing transactions to see what percentage match their approved domains.
