Getting Started

First, you need to decide which shopping cart provider you want to choose.

After choosing a provider, you need to create an account with that provider.

Setting Up the Store

Once you are signed in, it's time to begin building your online store.

Setting Up the Store

There are three steps in getting your store set up:

  • Add the products you sell

  • Customize your online profile

  • Set your order details

Add the products you sell

First, you need to add products that you want to sell.

As you add more products, it is a good idea to add categories to organize everything.

Customize your online profile

After you have added all of the items that you want, you need to customize your online profile.

Add your business name, business biography, email, and phone number.

Set your order details

You can create a unique URL that customers can easily remember.

You can also set up your shipping details by customizing the shipping price and the time it takes to ship.

Before you launch your store, you need to make sure your store is visible.

These options give you the ability to control the status of your store.

Once you have completed these three steps, it is now time to launch your online store!

Your Store

After you have launched your store, you can visit your unique URL that you created to see how it looks.

Smell Goods Square Market

Square also gives you the option to embed their code into your own personal website.

You can either embed a button or a menu.

Button Embed

Menu Embed

After you have pasted the embedded code that you want into your website, you are then able to use css to customize the page.
