Summary: An ikas setup consists of 6 steps: (1) choosing the right package, (2) domain and theme/design setup, (3) product, category, and content entry, (4) virtual POS and shipping integration, (5) marketplace integrations, (6) technical SEO and going live. A standard store can go live within a few days, and brand-specific projects within a few weeks.
ikas setup steps
- Package selection: Determine the ikas package that suits your turnover and sales channels.
- Domain + design: Set up a brand-specific, mobile-first ikas web design (a conversion-focused design is recommended over a ready-made theme).
- Product entry: Enter products, variants, categories, images, and descriptions in an SEO-friendly way.
- Payment & shipping: Integrate virtual POS and shipping companies.
- Marketplace: Connect channels such as Trendyol and Hepsiburada.
- Technical SEO + launch: Configure the URL structure, titles, site speed, and redirects, then go live.
Should I set it up myself or with an agency?
You can technically set up ikas yourself; however, the right license selection, conversion-focused design, integrations, and technical SEO require expertise. Working with an agency that is an official ikas solution partner helps you avoid setup mistakes and start selling faster.
