If you’re selling different variations of your product, let's say different colors or sizes, add the product variations by clicking [ADD OPTION].

Hit [SAVE] and voila! You’ve listed your product.


Set Up Payment Options

Next, go to the [PAYMENT] panel to collect to your Stripe, Square and/or Paypal accounts. You'll need a Business PayPal account to activate this payment option. 

If you don't have a Stripe account yet, sign up for Stripe and then enter your account email.

Notes: 

  • Your store will not be live until you've set up your payment gateway. Your products will be displayed as "Coming Soon".
