Overview
Each store you create gets its own free subdomain, primary market, currency, language, pages and plan. You can create more stores at any time and switch between them from the account menu, see Managing multiple stores.
How to create a store
- Open the account menu (the user icon, top right) and click All stores. New accounts land on this page automatically.
- Click Add new store.
- Fill in the three fields below.
- Click Continue. When setup finishes, you land on the Dashboard of your new store.
Store name
Your brand name, shown to customers and in your store list. Keep it short and easy to remember. You can rename the store later in Settings, General.
Store subdomain
The free address of your store, for example myshop.storeep.com. The preview under the field shows the full address as you type.
- Letters and numbers only. No spaces, hyphens, underscores or other symbols.
- Capital letters are turned into small letters.
- If it is too short or too long, the form tells you the allowed length.
- It must be free. Some names are kept for Storeep itself (like store, app, admin or help), and the form says the subdomain already exists. Just try another.
You can rename the subdomain or connect your own domain later, see Custom domains.
Primary market
A market is a country you sell to. The primary market is your main one. The list starts on the country Storeep detected for you, and you can search for any other. Your choice sets:
- Your store currency, the currency you enter product prices in.
- Your store language, taken from the country. If Storeep does not support that language yet, the store starts in English.
- Ready made policy pages (privacy, terms of service, refund, shipping and cookie) in that language.
You can add more markets later and even make another market the primary one, which changes your store currency. See Set up markets.
What is ready after setup
- Your store, live right away on its storeep.com address.
- Ready made pages (home, product, collection, cart, checkout and more) in your market's language, ready to edit in the builder.
- Default design settings, such as fonts and color schemes.
- Your five policy pages, already published.
- Your store time zone, taken from your browser. Change it in Settings, General, see Store name, time zone and weight unit.
- The free Starter plan. See Choosing a plan.
If something fails during setup, nothing half made is kept, so you can simply try again.
Common errors
- "The subdomain you have entered already exists": the name is taken or reserved. Pick another.
- "The subdomain you have entered is incorrect": it has a character other than letters and numbers.
- "Please settle the outstanding balance on ... before creating a new store": one of your stores owes usage fees. Add funds to that store's wallet first, see Wallet and billing. A similar message appears when another account on the same email inbox owes money.
