Get your online store live fast with our E-Commerce Package quick start guide. Learn how to set up branding, categories, products, and business details for a successful store launch.

Launching an online store doesn’t need to be complicated. The E-Commerce Package helps you move from idea to storefront quickly — with everything structured from the start.

Here’s how to get your store live.

Step 1 — Sign Up

Create your account and select the E-Commerce Package to begin building your store.

Step 2 — Add Your Branding

Apply your visual identity:

  • Logo

  • Brand colours

  • Store style preferences

Your branding automatically applies across your storefront for a cohesive shopping experience.

Step 3 — Add Business Details

Complete your core business information:

  • Business name and description

  • Contact details

  • Shipping or service information

  • Policies (returns, delivery, etc.)

This builds trust and makes checkout smoother for customers.

Step 4 — Create Product Categories

Before adding products, plan your store layout:

  • Group products logically

  • Keep navigation simple

  • Avoid creating too many categories early

Example categories:

  • New Arrivals

  • Best Sellers

  • Accessories

  • Collections

A clear structure improves browsing and conversions.

Step 5 — Add Your Products

Now start building your catalogue:

  • Product name

  • Description

  • Pricing

  • Images

  • Variations (size, colour, etc.)

  • Stock levels

💡 Pro Tip: Add 5–10 products before launch so your store feels active and complete.


Final Thoughts

A well-organised store performs better, converts better, and feels more professional from day one.
