Go Live with Your Store¶
You’re almost there This section covers the final steps before opening your store to customers.
Step 1: Preview your store¶
Before going live:
- Preview your storefront on desktop and mobile
- Check product pages, cart, and checkout
- Verify prices, images, and content
Step 2: Place a test order¶
We strongly recommend:
- Placing a test order
- Completing checkout using a test or low-value payment
- Checking order confirmation emails
- Reviewing the order in the dashboard
This helps catch issues early.
Step 3: Connect your domain (optional)¶
You can:
- Use the default Shoptsy store URL, or
- Connect your own custom domain
Make sure DNS settings are fully propagated before announcing your store.
Step 4: Open your store¶
Once everything looks good:
- Remove password protection (if enabled)
- Enable live payment mode
- Start accepting real orders
Congratulations! Your Shoptsy store is now live.
