2. Create a unique style store

Go to SHOPLINE Backstage > Store Design, where you can freely choose the design style and layout structure of your online store, change the background style and more advanced page display settings at will, and quickly create a store appearance that matches your brand image.

After confirming the store style, you can then create more pages. In SHOPLINE backend > Catalog Page Management > Online Store Page, you can edit and create an unlimited number of online store pages. By dragging, you can easily add pictures, videos, QRCodes, Facebook fan pages and other components to improve the completeness of the store, the richness of the pages, and enhance customers' trust in the brand.

The platform provides 20 template themes and 10 page materials to help you create a store easily and quickly. When creating a page, you can set the SEO optimization field at the same time to start accumulating brand traffic and ranking immediately.

The convenience of delivery options has a great impact on customers' purchasing decisions. In SHOPLINE backend > Settings > Delivery Settings, you can choose to pick up at convenience stores and pay, pick up at convenience stores without paying, local and overseas freight, and custom delivery. Then, enter the shipping fee and confirm the name of the delivery method (the option name displayed on the consumer's checkout page), and you can start delivering your products.

Complete product information and easy browsing and searching can attract customers to place orders. Go to SHOPLINE backstage > Products and Categories > My Products, add a new product, set the main image, enter product information, price, quantity and specifications, and you can preview the product page immediately.

Next, in the category management, you can adjust the display order of all products and create categories. The last step is to go to Catalog Page Management > Online Store Catalog Management to add items such as online store paging, product categories and external links to the catalog, and adjust the order and level of the items to the appropriate state. After completing the above steps, the establishment of the online store is complete!
