Native eCommerce Overview

Setting up a shop should not feel like rocket science. This guide keeps it plain and simple so anyone can follow along without overthinking it. We walk through every bit of Native eCommerce step by step and show you where to click, what to set, and when to hit publish.

Add Products and Options

Goal

Load in your products, add images, and set options like size or colour.

About the Product Catalog

The Product Catalog lists all items and uses connected data so changes flow straight onto product pages. When we update a price or image in the catalog, it shows on the live product page automatically.

Organise Products into Categories

1. Go to Categories.
2. Create simple groups like Men, Women, Accessories or by collection.
3. Assign products to categories (drag into groups or set while editing).
4. Reorder categories so the most important ones show first.

Tell customers who we are and keep receipts neat and compliant.

Steps

1. Open Business Info in store settings.
2. Add business name, email, phone, address and logo if available.
3. Confirm region, currency and units so shipping and tax are correct.
4. Save.

Store management at a glance

Store Management has two parts: Store Settings (business info, payments, taxes, shipping, discounts) and Store Operations (Product Catalog and Orders). Access it from the side panel under eCommerce then Store Management.

Set Up Payment Providers

Goal

Design Your Store

Goal

Match the shop to your brand and make products shine.

Steps

1. In the page editor, add store widgets like Main Store , Product Gallery , Cart , and Search.
2. Use Edit Content to choose what each widget shows.
3. Use Edit Design to set fonts, colours, spacing, and grid size.
4. Keep image sizes consistent so listings do not jump around.
5. Preview desktop, tablet and mobile, then tweak as needed.

Store pages created for you

A Store Homepage and Product Page are auto-created. The homepage uses a Product Gallery by default. The product page is a dynamic page using widgets connected to Product Catalog fields, so changes in the catalog reflect on the page right away.

Core store widgets

• Product Gallery — shows products and links through to product pages.
• Shopping Cart — lets shoppers see items and start checkout. Add this widget to your layout if it is not already present.

Upgrade and Publish

Goal

Turn the lights on and start taking real orders.

Steps

1. Choose a plan with eCommerce features if prompted.
2. Connect your domain in site settings.
3. Do a final small test order.
4. Hit Publish. Announce on socials and email.

Add or remove the native store

• Add store : open the sidebar, go to eCommerce, choose to add the native store.
• Remove store : eCommerce → Store Management → three dots next to Store Management → Remove Store.

Wrap Up

That is the whole flow. Add products, group them, plug in payments, sort shipping and taxes, tidy the checkout, design the storefront, then publish. Keep testing on your phone and make small improvements each week. You will be selling in no time.
