The native store brings the full design flexibility of the Website Builder platform into your eCommerce store and leverages the power of dynamic pages and connected data to make managing products and product pages easy. With these benefits, you can have your store up and running in a matter of minutes.
When you create your store, the following are automatically created:
-
Store. Your store is made up of the parts that shoppers see and interact with. This includes your store homepage, product pages, along with the Product Gallery and Shopping Cart widgets.
-
Product Catalog. Initially, your Product Catalog is a list of sample products with pictures, names, descriptions, and prices.
-
Native eCommerce account. Your account gives you access to configure store settings, including business information, taxes, payment, shipping methods, and discounts.
When you create your store, a Store homepage, Product page, Category page, and a Signup/Login page are automatically created. To learn more, see Store Pages and Connected Widgets in Native Store.
The Store Homepage, categories, and active products are included in the site's auto-generated sitemap.
Your store uses the Product Gallery widget and Shopping Cart widget. The Product Gallery widget is automatically added to your Store Homepage when you create your store, but you can add it to any page. The Shopping Cart widget is where shoppers can click to view the items in their cart and begin the checkout process. The Shopping Cart widget is not automatically added to your store, you have to add it yourself.
You can add these widgets anywhere on your site by clicking Widgets in the side panel, then dragging and dropping the widget to the desired location.
The Product Catalog is a list of all your products where you can add new products and view or edit existing products. Each product field uses connected data to connect to the corresponding product pages. This means whenever you update a product in the Product Catalog, the changes automatically appear on the corresponding product page.
