Launch your store

Go from zero to a live, shoppable storefront in under an hour — name, branding, products, payments, and domain.

This guide walks you through everything you need to open your doors: creating a shop, adding products, configuring payments, styling your storefront, and going live on your own domain.

What you'll need

About 30–60 minutes, a few product photos, and a Stripe account (for payments). You can start free on the Starter plan.

1. Create your shop

Sign in to Saleporia and create a shop. Enter your store name — a URL slug, publishable API key, and secret API key are generated automatically. You'll land on the admin overview dashboard.

Set your store details

  1. 1

    Open Settings → General

    Fill in your store name and a short description. Choose your currency — this drives price formatting everywhere.
  2. 2

    Add branding

    Upload a logo and favicon from the media library. These appear in your storefront header, browser tab, and PWA icons.
  3. 3

    Set your address

    Enter your store address under Store address. This is used as the ship-from origin for courier pickups.
  4. 4

    Save

    Click Save changes in the sticky bar. All settings save atomically in one transaction.

2. Add your first products

Go to Products → Add product. For each product, add a name, description, price, and at least one image. Set stock, SKU, and assign a category.

Speed up with AI

Use the AI generate action on the product form to draft a title and description from a single product photo. Review and edit before publishing.

Toggle the product status to Published when it's ready for shoppers to see. Add a few more products so your storefront looks lived-in. Organize them into categories (Products → Categories) for navigation.

3. Configure payments

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Payments

    Enable Stripe and paste your Stripe publishable and secret keys.
  2. 2

    Optional: cash on delivery

    If you accept COD, enable it and add a customer-facing note (e.g. "Pay with cash when your order arrives").
  3. 3

    Save

    Your secret key is masked after saving. Shoppers can now check out with cards.

4. Style your storefront

Go to Storefront → Theme & style. Pick a theme preset, a color palette, a typography combo, and a corner radius. The right pane shows a live preview as you choose. Click Save to publish your style to the live storefront.

Your storefront is already live at your saleporia subdomain. Visit it to see your products, add one to the cart, and place a test order to confirm everything works end to end.

5. Connect your domain (optional)

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Domain

    Enter your custom domain (e.g. shop.yourbrand.com).
  2. 2

    Point DNS at Saleporia

    Add the CNAME record shown in the instructions. Wait for DNS to propagate (usually minutes).
  3. 3

    Click Verify

    Saleporia checks your DNS. On success, TLS is provisioned automatically and your storefront serves on your domain.

6. You're live

Your store is open. Share your link, run your first marketing campaign, and watch orders come in on the overview dashboard. From here, explore automations (like abandoned cart recovery), set up shipping rules, or connect Ad Studio to design ads.
