Where it lives

Two places run your store

Your store pages live in one spot, your products and orders in another. Click Search at the top of your screen and type Stores, then open it.

Search for Stores

This is your list of stores. Each store is one shopping experience attached to a website, and the builder for its pages opens from here.

  • Look for the three-dot menu beside a store for extra options
  • Find the Complete Setup checklist - it is your launch to-do list
  • Domain and payment provider are the big ones

Search for Products

This is your catalog, the master list of everything you sell. Each item has a name, price, and photos.

  • Look for the Include in Online Store setting inside a product
  • On means it shows on your store pages
  • Off means it stays hidden

Search for Orders

When someone buys, the order lands here. This is the fulfillment side, where you manage what happens next.

  • Search for Transactions to see the payment record
  • Products feed the store, buyers buy, orders show up here
