# Getting Onboard

How to set up your Bloom account and connect your Shopify store, ad platforms, and shipping platforms to start tracking store profit and marketing performance.

### How to set up Bloom

Work through these steps in order. Each connection you add gives Bloom more of the data it needs to report accurate profit.

1. **Create your Bloom account:** Sign up using your Google account or your email.
2. **Connect your Shopify store:** After creating your account, connect your Shopify store to Bloom. This gives Bloom access to your store's data so it can build your profit breakdown and analytics report.
3. **Connect your ad platforms:** Connect advertising platforms such as Meta, Google, TikTok, or other supported platforms. Once connected, select the ad account or campaign you want Bloom to track.
4. **Connect your shipping platforms:** Connect your shipping platforms to bring your shipping costs into Bloom.

Once your Shopify store and relevant platforms are connected, Bloom starts syncing your data. You can then see your store's profitability and marketing performance in your Bloom dashboard.
