Guide
Adding a store
If you have not added store functions on your Website, click “Store” on the left menu. Choose from the store options. It is free to add up to 10 products in your store. To add more than 10 products to your store, you will need to upgrade your account.
Adding products to your store
Enter a product name and price, and upload an image, for each product in your store. Click “Add more” to add more products to your store and click Save when you’re done.
Localizing your store
For your store to work, you need to provide units of currency and weight for your products. The default is the U.S. dollar and kilogram, but you may wish to change these to better suit your location.
Setting up your shipping
If you’re selling physical goods, you’ll want to set up shipping for your store to make sure your customers pay you for the cost of shipping. If you aren’t selling physical goods, you’ll want to disable shipping for those products.
Setting up payment options
You need a way to get paid. By default, PayPal and Stripe are the simplest ways to let your customers pay you, but we allow for a huge variety of other payment methods. Click the PayPal or Stripe options to select a payment method, or click “Advanced payments setup” if you want to use a different method.
Finishing your store
Once you’ve gone through every step in the set up, press the Finish Store button to start selling. You can always come back to this page to edit your store’s settings after you’ve created it.
Manage your store
When your store is created, you can manage your store by clicking Store on the left menu, then clicking the Manage Store button. This will bring up the Store Control Panel, where you can manage your sales, catalog (products), promotions, and store settings.
Other options include adding store widgets (e.g. cart, search box), adding store categories as a subpage of your home page or another page on your Website and accessing the FAQs to give you more information about your store.
Considerations
In addition to having more products, the 100 and 2500 product stores have more features and functionality. Be sure to carefully check the descriptions of each plan for more information.
