Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Every guide is written for founders with no prior experience in e-commerce, branding, or the coffee industry. The Shopify setup guide covers all eight phases from scratch, and the 30-day email support means you have someone to ask if you get stuck at any point.
Do I need experience in the coffee industry?
No. Module 1 starts with market research and niche selection — designed to help you identify the right opportunity before committing to a direction. You can begin with a rough idea or no idea at all. The Coffee Market Research Guide (17 Roastify products with tasting notes and margin analysis) gives you everything you need to make product decisions confidently.
How does the Roastify coffee dropshipping model work?
Roastify roasts your coffee fresh after each order is placed and ships directly to your customer in your brand packaging — within 2 business days on their Pro plan. You build the brand, run the Shopify store, and drive traffic. You never hold inventory, never deal with a roastery, and never pay for stock that hasn’t sold. The Supplier Guide (Module 1, D4) covers the full 10-step setup process.
Do I need a Shopify subscription to use this kit?
You will need an active Shopify plan to build your store — this is separate from the kit purchase and costs $29/month (Shopify Basic). The setup guide walks you through plan selection and configuration in Phase 2. Canva’s free plan is sufficient for the label design and social media template guides. Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets works for the catalogue and planning workbooks.
What exactly are the 17 deliverables?
Getting Started Guide (1) + Module 1 Business Foundations (6 files: market research guide, business plan workbook, legal guides for USA/EU/India, Roastify supplier guide, product catalogue Excel, compliance tracker Excel) + Module 2 Branding & Design (4 files: brand strategy guide, brand strategy workbook, label design guide, social media templates guide) + Module 3 Shopify Store Setup (2 files: 8-phase setup guide, 87-item checklist Excel) + Module 4 Marketing & Growth (4 files: digital marketing strategy guide, SEO guide, social media setup guide, 90-day content calendar Excel).
What does the 30-day brand support include?
After purchase you have 30 days of direct support via email — you can ask questions about any part of the kit, get guidance on applying the frameworks to your specific coffee niche, and flag anything that needs clarification. It is not a coaching programme, but it means you are not working through this alone. Email info@brandsewa.com with your order reference after purchase.
How long does it take to go from purchase to a live coffee store?
Based on founders who have worked through similar systems: Module 1 takes 5–8 hours, Module 2 takes 6–10 hours, Module 3 takes 7–10 hours, Module 4 takes 5–8 hours. Total: 23–36 hours of focused work. Working consistently for 4–6 hours per week, most founders go live in 4–6 weeks. The Getting Started guide includes a realistic timeline breakdown and a Day 0 checklist to begin immediately after purchase.
Does the kit work for selling in India, the USA, and Europe?
Yes. The Legal & Compliance Guides (Module 1, D3) cover all three markets separately: India (FSSAI, GST, Udyam), USA (FDA labelling, EIN, business banking), and EU (VAT/OSS, EU FIC labelling, GDPR). The marketing strategy and SEO sections also address keyword opportunities across all three markets. Note: Roastify’s dropship fulfilment covers the USA domestically — EU fulfilment requires a separate arrangement, which is explained in the Supplier Guide.
What software do I need to use this kit?
Microsoft Word (or Google Docs) to open the guides and workbooks. Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for the Excel workbooks. Canva (free plan is sufficient) for the label and social media design guides. A Shopify account ($29/month) to build your store. A Roastify account (free 7-day trial, then $15 or $49/month) for your coffee products. No design experience, coding knowledge, or paid design tools are required.
