In this work, which is the first of a series to prepare a cosmological parameter analysis with third-order cosmic shear statistics, we model both the shear three-point correlation functions Γ⁽ⁱ⁾ and the third-order aperture statistics ⟨ℳₐₚ³⟩ from the BiHalofit bispectrum model and validate these statistics with a series of N-body simulations. We then investigate how to bin the shear three-point correlation functions to achieve an unbiased estimate for third-order aperture statistics in real data. Finally, we perform a cosmological parameter analysis on KiDS1000-like mock data with second- and third-order statistics. We recover all cosmological parameters with very little bias. Furthermore, we find that a joint analysis almost doubles the constraining power on S₈ and increases the figure-of-merit in the Ωₘ-σ₈ plane by a factor of 5.9 with respect to an analysis with only second-order shear statistics. Our modelling pipeline is publicly available at https://github.com/sheydenreich/threepoint/releases/.
