Try the dashboard before you connect your shop

New to TRNSFR? You can now explore Insights, Profit & Loss and your shop stats with realistic sample data before you connect Etsy — then connect when you're ready.

Try the dashboard before you connect your shop

Signing up for a new tool usually means a leap of faith. You hand over access first, and only then find out whether the thing is any good. We thought that was the wrong way round — so now you can see the TRNSFR dashboard working before you connect your Etsy shop.

The "connect first, see nothing" problem

Most dashboards greet new users with an empty room: a single "connect your shop to continue" message and nothing else. You're asked to authorise access to your live shop just to find out what the charts even look like. That's a fair bit to ask before you've seen anything in return.

A real dashboard on day zero

From the moment you sign up, your Overview, Insights and Profit & Loss pages render a complete, healthy-looking dashboard filled with sample data. The charts, totals and trends are all there — populated with realistic figures so you can see exactly how the tools present your shop, before a single order of your own flows in.

What the preview shows

The preview covers the parts of TRNSFR that help you understand your shop at a glance:

  • Insights — revenue trends and shop statistics laid out the way you'll actually read them.
  • Profit & Loss — a clear picture of what's left after costs, charted and summarised.
  • Your shop stats — the headline numbers on your Overview, so the page feels alive from the start.

Clearly labelled, never mistaken for your real numbers

Every sample view wears a "sample data" banner so there's never any confusion about what you're looking at. It sits right on top of the charts, with a connect button built in. The moment you connect your shop, the sample figures step aside and your own data takes their place.

Insights, Profit & Loss and Stock are free forever

Here's the part that makes the preview more than a teaser: the three tools at the heart of it — Insights, Profit & Loss and Stock — are free forever on TRNSFR. Signing up takes no card. So once you connect, those tools keep working at no cost, and you can take your time with the rest of the suite on a 30-day trial.

Connect when you're ready — one click

When the dashboard has earned your trust, connecting is a single click from the sample banner. No long setup, no homework. Set it up. Walk away.

Ready to look around? Sign up free and explore the dashboard — no card needed, and Insights, Profit & Loss and Stock stay free for good.
