Open a store on the site you already have

Keep Store in the wizard when you create the site, or add it later from Apps in the console; either way a Store page joins the site. Open the store's settings and choose the currency it sells in (one of twenty-seven).

Then connect payments: Payments & Sales, then Setup & Connect, then Connect Stripe. Card payments go straight into your own Stripe account with no platform commission. If you would rather be paid by bank transfer as well, write the instructions the buyer will see; you mark those orders paid when the money lands.

Each product is a name, a description, a price and an optional compare-at price, up to twelve images, a category and one stock count. There are no size or colour options inside a product, so list each size or colour as a product of its own with a clear name.

For a digital product, mark it as digital and attach the file; the buyer gets a download link as soon as payment clears and shipping never comes up. Write descriptions that answer size, material, care and shipping time, and export photos at the size the page shows.

The Store page is on your domain already, in the theme's palette and type, and every active product gets a page of its own under the same theme. Open the Store page in the editor like any other page: add a product grid section to the home page as well, since the grid links to the product pages, and place a short trust row (shipping, returns, secure payment) near the add-to-cart buttons.

The Store page has the same title, description and share image fields as the rest of the site; a product page takes its name and description from the product, so write those for search as well as for shoppers.

Shipping is priced by region. Create a zone, add the countries it covers, and give it one or more methods, each with a price, an optional minimum and maximum order amount, and an estimated delivery time. A country can be in one zone only, so one destination always means one price. There is no tax line at checkout; if you must charge tax, price it into the product.

Coupons take a code, a percentage or a fixed amount, a minimum order, a cap, usage limits and dates; one applies per order. Then place a test order with Stripe in test mode and check three things: the confirmation email, the order on the orders board, and the stock count going down.

Publish the site and put the Store page in the menu. Orders arrive on the orders board with their status; move each one as you pack and ship it, and the buyer follows it on the order page the confirmation email links to. A refund from the board puts the stock back.

The running-low panel tells you what to reorder. Stock is held for a buyer while they pay and released if they do not, so an abandoned checkout never keeps a product off the shelf for long.
