How to Create a Web Store from the Stores Tab

With the Stores Tab under the Sites section and the ability to create stores directly from the app, managing your online business has never been easier.

Seamless Store Management

Store owners can manage and view all their stores under a single tab called "Stores" in the Sites section of the app. This tab offers a seamless and user-friendly interface for displaying stores.

• Features: The Stores tab includes sorting, filtering, and folder creation options, similar to what is available for funnels and websites.
• Visibility: Both existing and newly created stores are listed in this tab.

Key Aspects and Points to Note

• Unified View: All websites converted into stores are listed under the Stores section. Conversely, once the store pages are removed from a store, they will only appear under the Websites section.
• Inherent Structure: All stores are inherently websites and will be found under the Websites section as well. This means the same store will be displayed in both places.
• Deletion: Deleting a store under the Stores section will also delete it from the Websites section.
• Folders:
  • Creating a folder in either the Stores or Websites section will make it visible.
  • Folders in the Stores section will only contain stores, while folders in the Websites section can contain both stores and websites.
  • Folders can only be deleted from the Websites section, regardless of where they were created.
