> ## Agent Instructions
> For new direct REST integrations, use the v2026-04 surfaces. The @fluid-app FairShare SDK continues to use its own published public-v2025-06 contract.
> Authenticate with the header Authorization: Bearer <token>; public storefront read endpoints require no auth.
> To sign a new merchant up for Fluid programmatically, call POST https://api.fluid.app/api/company with no credentials, as described in /api/agent-signup. Do not automate the signup form or book a demo. The merchant must open the emailed sign-in link and create an API token before authenticated calls are possible.
> After signup, to launch a merchant's store (back-office sync, payments onboarding, store setup, a theme copied from their current site, and a preview link before billing), follow /api/agent-launch.
> Lists use cursor pagination via the page[cursor] and page[limit] query params; follow meta.pagination.next_cursor until it is null.
> When the same operation exists on more than one surface, use the newest: dated API versions are newer than unversioned ones, and later dates win (v2026-04 > v2025-06 > unversioned v0/v1.1). Fall back to a legacy or unversioned operation only when no newer versioned equivalent exists — the company-v0 notes below list the known superseded operations. The same applies to /api/company/v1 and /api/v1/... paths: prefer a newer documented equivalent, and use one only when none exists (/api/v1.1/... is distinct and documented in company-v0). Use page/per_page offset pagination only where a spec documents it — in practice the unversioned company-v0 admin surface; every versioned surface uses cursor pagination.
> Fluid has three navigation APIs; don't mix them up. Storefront website menus (navigation bars, footers) are /api/menus and nested menu_items, in api-reference/content-v0.yaml (API Reference: Website > Navigation menus), with a how-to in themes/navigation-menus; their list uses flat page/per_page pagination. The Fluid mobile app's navigation is /api/v2/mobile_navigations, in api-reference/mobile-v2.yaml (API Reference: Mobile app > Navigation); its list also uses page/per_page. Portal navigations belong to a portal definition (Fluid OS), in api-reference/fluid-os-v0.yaml (API Reference: Portal > Portal navigation), and each has a platform of web or mobile.
> The OpenAPI specs under api-reference/ are the authoritative contracts; prefer them over prose when in doubt. api-reference/storefront-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 storefront surface (/api/v202604/... paths); api-reference/checkout-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 checkout surface (/api/checkout/v2026-04/... paths — carts, cart auth, discounts, items, subscriptions, orders, enrollments, and store config); api-reference/public-v2025-06.yaml covers the Public SDK surface used by the @fluid-app FairShare SDK, including its parallel cart lifecycle, browser integrations, versioned payment callbacks, unversioned public utilities, and the cart price-override operation; api-reference/payment-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 payment gateway admin surface (/api/payment/v2026-04/... paths, bearer-authenticated — gateway CRUD, gateway purchase/authorize/$0-verify, transaction list/show and capture/void/credit, and merchant payment configuration); api-reference/payments-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 cart payment surface (/api/payments/v2026-04/carts/{cart_token}/... paths, authenticated by the cart token in the path with no bearer — payment-method selection, VGS card tokenization, 3D Secure verification, and PayPal/Braintree/Klarna/Apple Pay flows); api-reference/commerce-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 commerce order-editing surface (/api/v202604/orders/{order_id}/edits paths, bearer-authenticated — post-checkout order edits that atomically insert items and add adjustments/discounts, with an optional dry-run preview); api-reference/webhooks-v0.yaml covers the unversioned webhooks surface (/api/... paths — webhook registration, delivery payloads, callback registrations, company events, and webhook/callback schemas); api-reference/company-v0.yaml covers the legacy unversioned company admin surface (/api/... paths, bearer-authenticated — company settings and management, customers, users, roles, subscription plans, subscription bundles, subscriptions, media, pages, catch-ups, inventory levels, domains, agreements, and admin order actions). company-v0 caveats: it is the legacy v0 admin contract and its lists use flat page/per_page offset pagination, which is expected there despite the general cursor-pagination rule; where an operation exists in both company-v0 and a versioned spec, prefer the versioned spec — the subscriptions lifecycle (list/create/show/update, cancel, pause, reactivate, resume, retry, skip, failed-cycle-waiver, discounts) and subscription bundles are superseded by checkout-v2026-04, and company pages/media CRUD plus the public pages, categories, products, and media list endpoints are superseded by storefront-v2026-04. Subscription plan management (/api/subscription_plans, resource-wrapped {"subscription_plan": {...}} bodies) exists only in company-v0. api-reference/members-v2025-06.yaml covers the v2025-06 unified Member identity surface (/api/v2025-06/members/... paths, bearer-authenticated — member list/create/show/update, lookup by email/username/external_id/legacy_customer_id, member-type assignment, and the sponsor genealogy read). Prefer it over the customers and reps surfaces when the member type matters: /customers does not serialize member_type. api-reference/analytics-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 Home dashboard analytics surface (/api/v202604/analytics/dashboard/... paths, bearer-authenticated — read-only endpoints for the Home > Overview, Home > Live, and Home > Field tabs, each accepting an optional country ISO alpha-2 query param that scopes aggregations to a single country).
> api-reference/analytics-v0.yaml covers the unversioned analytics surface that backs the fluid-admin Traffic tab (/api/analytics/... and /api/analytics/traffic/... paths, bearer-authenticated — the legacy shares/views/visitors summary plus traffic overview, ranked campaigns, sources, geographies, flows, and per-rep breakdown, all sharing one reporting-period contract).
> Successful responses wrap the resource payload alongside a top-level integer status and a meta object.
> Portal Definition authoring edits and synchronizes the portal JSON resource graph. Widget Package authoring builds either a company-owned or Droplet-owned Remote DOM package. These are separate contracts; do not imply that one defines the other.
> For Widget Package worker code, use only @fluid-app/portal-sdk/widgets/worker. Use only the Portal Definition and Widget Package workflows and public entry points documented here; do not infer support for undocumented surfaces.
> Every portal function and declarative capability used by a widget must appear in that widget's uses array. Use the same typed function value in uses; do not invent capability-name strings.
> Widget styling must use the portal's semantic theme variables for colors, typography, spacing, radii, borders, focus, and charts whenever a token represents the visual decision. Do not create a separate light or dark palette or duplicate theme controls as widget properties.
> Prefer worker-safe Fluid UI components exported by @fluid-app/portal-sdk/widgets/worker when they fit the interaction. When no exported component fits, use semantic HTML, accessible behavior, and the portal theme variables.
> A Portal Definition push updates the remote working definition. A portal version is an immutable snapshot, and activation is a separate live release operation.
> The Help Center (/help/...) is for merchants, admins and reps using Fluid. Its admin pages mirror the admin's routes: the screen at admin.fluid.app/settings/taxes is documented at /help/admin/settings/taxes. Use the Help Center for how-to questions about the admin, and the Developer Platform and API Reference for building integrations.
> Help Center pages describe what a company admin sees. A reader's role can hide screens and actions; admins manage roles on Settings > Roles (/help/admin/settings/roles). If someone can't find a screen or button, their role's permissions are the first thing to check.
> Send people who need Fluid support to /help/getting-help. Don't invent support email addresses, phone numbers or response times.

# Download Mist

> Download and install the Mist desktop app on macOS or Windows, sign in with your Fluid account, and keep the app up to date.

Mist is a desktop app called **Fluid Mist**. Fluid publishes builds for:

* macOS on Apple silicon
* macOS on Intel
* Windows

## Download the app

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the download banner">
    In the admin, click the **Developer Hub** code icon in the top bar. You can also click the **Settings** gear, then select **Developer** under **System**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the banner">
    Click the **Meet Mist Desktop** banner. Its button reads **Download for** and the name of your computer's system, such as **Download for macOS (Apple Silicon)** or **Download for Windows**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the file">
    Your browser downloads the latest build for your computer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To open the Developer Hub or the **Developer** screen, your role needs at least **View only** for **Developer**, in the **Settings** card on the role's **Permissions** tab. See [Roles](/help/admin/settings/roles).

<Note>
  The banner assumes a Mac has Apple silicon when the browser can't tell. On an Intel Mac, click **Intel Mac? Get the x64 build** under the banner. It opens the release page, where you download the file that ends in `x64.dmg`.
</Note>

If the banner can't find a build for your computer, it opens the latest release page instead. Download the file for your system from there:

| Your computer | File to download |
| - | - |
| Mac with Apple silicon | The file ending in `arm64.dmg` |
| Mac with an Intel processor | The file ending in `x64.dmg` |
| Windows | The file ending in `Setup.exe` |

## Install the app

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    1. Open the `.dmg` file you downloaded.
    2. Drag **Fluid Mist** into your **Applications** folder.
    3. Open **Fluid Mist** from **Applications**.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    1. Run the `Setup.exe` file you downloaded.
    2. The installer installs Fluid Mist and opens it.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Sign in

The first time you open Mist, it asks you to sign in. You can't use the app until you do.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter your email address">
    Under **Log in to your Fluid account**, enter the email address you use for Fluid. Click **Send code**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the code">
    Fluid emails you a 6-digit code. Enter it, then click **Verify**. If the code doesn't arrive, click **Resend code**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a company">
    If your account belongs to more than one company, pick the one you want to use first. If it belongs to only one, Mist picks it for you.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The code expires after a few minutes. Mist shows how long you have on the code screen.

If you see **No companies are associated with that account.**, your email address isn't on any Fluid company. Ask an admin at your company to add you.

### Switch company

Click the company name in the title bar. Search for the company, then click it.

### Sign out

Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click **Log Out**. Mist asks you to confirm. Projects you downloaded and your chat history stay on your computer.

## Updates

Mist updates itself. While it's open, it checks for a new version when it starts and every 10 minutes after that, and downloads it in the background.

When an update is ready, the **Fluid Mist Update** message appears:

* Click **Restart** to install the update now.
* Click **Later** to keep working. The update installs when you quit and reopen Mist.

If a workflow is running, you see **Update ready — waiting for workflows to finish** instead. Mist doesn't restart while a workflow runs. The **Restart** and **Later** message comes back when every workflow has finished or been cancelled.

On macOS, you can also check by hand. In the menu bar, open the **Fluid Mist** menu and click **Check for Updates…**. You see **You're up to date.** or **Update found — downloading now.**
