Recommended Launch Settings for Kidosho
Based on everything we've worked through together, I recommend configuring your Shopify store with these operational settings:
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Processing Time | 1–2 business days |
| Free Shipping | Orders over $50 |
| Domestic Shipping | United States only (Phase 1) |
| International Shipping | Coming Soon |
| Standard Delivery | 3–7 business days |
| Expedited Delivery | Optional |
| Carriers | USPS primarily; UPS/FedEx as needed |
| Tracking | Sent automatically by email |
| Returns Window | 30 days for unopened products |
| Damaged Orders | Report within 7 days |
This policy is consistent with your current launch plan and is appropriate for a premium direct-to-consumer skincare brand using Shopify.
