Store Setup Basics

Use the store wizard to get a storefront live quickly, then return to store settings for refinements.

What to enter first

  • Store name should be customer-facing and recognizable in emails, checkout, and shared links.
  • Store slug becomes part of your hosted storefront URL. Keep it short, readable, and brand-aligned.
  • Currency is a foundational setting. Prices, discounts, and orders depend on it, so choose it before you begin selling.

Domain choices

You can launch with a default Go!BrightCart URL, use a subdomain, or connect a custom domain later. A good default is to publish with the hosted URL first, then switch to a custom domain after you confirm your catalog and checkout look right.

What to configure after creation

Once the store exists, review:

  • storefront URL and branding
  • checkout messaging and support details
  • shipping profiles
  • promotions and coupons
  • discovery and SEO settings

Practical tips

  • Start with one clear storefront identity per store.
  • Avoid changing the currency after products or discounts exist.
  • Use the store description to explain what customers can expect from this storefront.
