Start with the enclosure. Size and material depend entirely on the species being kept, so it's worth checking a care sheet before buying anything else. Heating usually means a heat mat or a heat bulb paired with a thermostat, since an unregulated heat source is one of the more common ways an enclosure ends up too hot or too cold. Lighting needs vary by species too. Many reptiles need UVB provision to process calcium properly, while others need very little. Substrate should match the species' natural habitat and digging behaviour rather than be picked for how it looks in the tank.
The practical approach is to treat a kit list as a checklist rather than a guarantee. Before buying, it's worth cross-referencing what's included against a care sheet for the specific species intended for that enclosure, checking off enclosure, heating, thermostat, lighting, substrate and hides one at a time, rather than assuming the word "kit" means nothing further is needed.
The enclosure itself is obviously included, and usually the basics of heating too, most often a heat mat or heat bulb. Beyond that, coverage varies a good deal between kits and suppliers. Some kits include a thermostat to regulate that heat source; others leave it as a separate purchase, which matters because an unregulated heat source is a genuine risk rather than a minor omission. Lighting, particularly UVB provision for species that need it, is included in some kits and entirely absent from others, often depending on whether the kit was designed with a specific species in mind or built as a generic starter option.
There's also the simpler issue of gaps. When ordering from several places at once, it's easy to end up missing something that felt implicit, a second hide, a suitable water dish, the right substrate depth for a burrowing species, because no single order was ever checked against a full list of what the setup actually needs.

Care sheets get a keeper most of the way to a healthy, well-set-up animal. The remaining distance, anything that touches on health or illness, belongs with a vet every time.
