The 5-step onboarding, explained

4 min readUpdated May 2026

After signing up, Buvvo asks five short questions. They are not busywork — each one tunes how your shop and AI bot behave from day one. Two are required; three you can skip and set later.

  • City — where you sell from. Helps with delivery copy and timezone. (Required)
  • WhatsApp number — the Business number you want to connect. (Required)
  • Average order value — a rough naira figure so analytics and AI suggestions make sense from the start.
  • Brand vibe — Warm & friendly, Pidgin-flavoured, Formal & precise, or Just the facts. This seeds the AI bot’s tone of voice.
  • Brand colour — used across your store page and receipts.
City and WhatsApp number can’t be skipped — the backend needs them to finish creating your shop. The other three show a “Skip for now” option.

Anything you skip or want to change later lives in Settings and in My bot → Tone of voice. Onboarding just gives you a sensible starting point.

Pick the vibe closest to how you already talk to customers. You can fine-tune the exact wording later by training the bot on your real replies.
