Set up your store

In this course, you will learn how to build and operate your online Store and share it with your customers. Your Store is the way you showcase your solution set to clients—an all-access, always open, on-demand digital store where SMB clients find all the digital solutions they need in one place.

Learning Goals
  • Understand what a Store is and how to build one
  • Add Marketplace products and your own products
  • Customize your Storefront and theme
  • Share your Store via Business App, embed, or link
🏪What Is a Store?

Your Store is completely customizable. Add custom products—your existing traditional products and services—as well as bundled solutions from the Vendasta Marketplace. Everything you offer lives in one centralized place your clients can browse on their own time.

Building your store​

  • Discover how to build and manage your store
  • Arrange the layout of your Store
  • Embed or share your Store
  • Explore Vendasta Marketplace products and services
  • Add your existing products and services to your Store
📦Add Products and Start Selling

Explore the Marketplace: Build an end-to-end product solution from the ground up or broaden your current stack. The Marketplace offers products and services you can add to your Store.

Add your existing products: If you already have a robust product offering, add these to your Store. Vendor Center guides you through the process.

Package bundles: Once you're selling a few products, package them together to offer bundled solutions to your customers.

info

Adding a product or service to your Store does not cost anything. You only pay for what you sell—at a markup of your choosing.

🎨Customize Your Storefront

As with physical stores, how you present and display products matters. Give your best-selling and most important packages the MVP treatment. Customize your Store as you see fit.

🔗Let Your Clients See Your Store

There are three ways your clients can access your Store:

1. share through Business App​

Business App is your clients' gateway to all the products and services you've provisioned. Clients navigate to Business App → Store.

  2. Select Public Store to expand options
  3. Choose one of the iframe embed codes to copy
  4. Embed the code using your website's HTML editor
info

If you want customers viewing your Public Store to create their own account and sign in, use Embed Code (with Sign In). Otherwise, use the standard Embed Code.

  1. Go to Partner Center → Marketplace → Manage Store
  2. Select Public Store to expand options
  3. Copy the URL and share it directly with your clients
