You can manage the settings for an already created store through the Management screen -> Edit -> Main Settings tab. The settings are split into three subsections:

General Settings

You can manage the following settings of your store through the General Settings subsection:

  • Brand name allows you to view and change the brand name of your hosting company, so your customers can recognize you more easily. This name will be used on your website and any notification messages sent to your customers.
  • Hosted storefront address allows you to view and change the URL of your hosted storefront.
  • Main currency allows you to select the main currency for your online store.
  • Contact email allows you to view and change the contact email address for your store.
  • URL in notifications allows you to view and change the store URL in the notifications (renewal, custom order links, etc.) sent to your customers. The options here are:
    • Hosted will lead your customers to your hosted storefront.
    • Hosted with your domain/subdomain will lead to your hosted storefront at your custom domain/subdomain. NOTE: This setting will appear only if you are using the hosted storefront with the "Custom domain/subdomain" option and its setup has been completed (both icons next to your custom domain/subdomain must be green).
    • Self-hosted will lead your customers to your self-hosted storefront where the widget or WordPress plugin is installed and properly configured.
  • Widget/WordPress URL is used to define the location of your widget/WordPress plugin, so your customers can place orders through the self-hosted storefront on your website.
Hosted storefront settings

The hosted storefront is enabled by default for all online stores and is configured to work at a generic web address, prefixed by a STORE_BRAND subdomain, where STORE_BRAND is the Hosted storefront address prefix specified in the General Settings of your online store.

You can enable or disable the hosted storefront of your online store using the Enable website setting.

You can manage the following settings of your store through the Hosted storefront settings subsection:

  • Custom domain/subdomain allows you to use your own domain or subdomain name as hosted storefront.
  • Enable website allows you to enable/disable the hosted storefront.
  • Payments test mode allows you to test API calls between your store and payment processors (sandbox environment) without conducting real payment transactions.
  • Currencies allows you to enable/disable currencies on your hosted storefront and change their display order.
  • Languages allows you to enable/disable languages on your hosted storefront and change their display order.
  • Default language allows you to choose the default language for your hosted storefront.
  • Custom Logo allows you to upload a custom logo that will be displayed on your hosted storefront.
  • Custom stylesheet allows you to add custom CSS code to your hosted storefront.
Using a Custom domain/subdomain with the hosted storefront

You can get the hosted storefront working on your own domain or subdomain by adding few DNS records. To see the exact DNS records that you need to add, click on the Custom domain/subdomain info icon at the Management screen -> Edit -> Main Settings tab for your online store. After you add the necessary DNS records, please allow several hours for the DNS records to propagate globally. 

After that you need to type your domain/subdomain in the Custom domain/subdomain field and click the Save button at the bottom of the page.

As part of the setup, your custom domain/subdomain will be added to the Apache configuration on our end, and a Let's Encrypt certificate will be issued for it. You will have to allow some time (usually between 5 and 15 minutes) for the setup to complete. Once this is done, both icons will turn green, and your domain/subdomain will appear as the selected "URL in notifications" option in the "General settings" section.

API settings

You can manage the following settings of your store through the API settings subsection:

  • API active allows you to enable/disable access to the API for the widget/WordPress plugin. Disabling the API access will deactivate your self-hosted store.
  • API security allows you to choose the authentication security to access the API. You can choose between Authentication key and HMAC security.
  • Order auto processing allows you to enable/disable automatic order processing for your store.
