Launch your store in 7 steps

From sign-up to your first order: the launch checklist explained.

How launching works

Your dashboard shows a launch checklist. Each item links to the screen where you complete it, and the progress bar fills as you go. Your storefront stays private (only your team can preview it) until you publish.

The checklist

  1. 1Add your first product — Products → Add product. Give it a title, price and stock.
  2. 2Set it to Active. Draft products are hidden from shoppers.
  3. 3Review shipping, taxes and policies in Settings → General. Canadian sales tax is applied automatically by province.
  4. 4Set up payments in Settings → Payments: connect Stripe for cards and wallets, or enable manual payments (e.g. Interac e-Transfer).
  5. 5Confirm your email address using the link we sent you (the yellow banner can resend it).
  6. 6Publish your store with the “Publish store” button on the dashboard.
  7. 7Share your store link and receive your first order.

Preview before you publish

Use “View store” at any time. While unpublished, a yellow “Preview mode” bar is shown to your team; shoppers see a “Coming soon” page.

Started with the sample catalog? Those products are drafts — edit or delete them before you publish.
