# Set up your online store > Give your online store your name, logo, contact details and welcome banner, choose what it shows, and see how customers pay. *Section: Online store · Updated: 2026-10-19 · Needs the plan feature: online_orders* By the end your shop will have its own online store: your name, logo and contact details, a welcome banner, and your products for sale, with the same stock as the till. > **Note:** The online store comes with some plans only. If **Store** isn't under **Sell** in your menu, your plan or your role doesn't include it. ## Where your store is Your store is at your shop's address followed by **/online\_store**. **Store › Visit Online Store** in the sidebar opens it in a new tab. It sells the products you already have: no second catalogue to keep. ## Store basics 1. **Open [Store › Settings](/app/Store/Settings).** 2. **Check Online Store URL is Enabled.** Switched off, the store's pages can't be opened. 3. **Type the Store name.** 4. **Leave Store Theme on Default Store Theme** for a shop that sells products. 5. **Check the Default Warehouse.** Online orders take their stock from it. 6. **Pick your colours and font if you like:** **Primary color**, **Secondary color** and **Font family**. ![Store basics: Online Store URL Enabled, Store name Demo Store, Store Theme Default Store Theme, Currency US Dollar ($) with the warning that it changes the system too, Default Warehouse, Primary color, Secondary color, Font family, then Registration Access Control and Stock behavior.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/97825fad8f-set-up-your-online-store-1-basics.webp) *The settings are one long page. Save is at the bottom right and keeps everything.* > **Warning:** **Currency** here is your whole shop's currency, not only the store's: changing it changes the system's too. Further down **Store basics**: - **Registration Access Control** decides who can make an account to order: see [Store customers, invite codes, messages and subscribers](/app/help/online-store-customers). - **Stock behavior**: with **Allow overselling** off, customers can't put more in the cart than you have. - **Hide out-of-stock products**, **Hide prices for guests** and **Show stock availability** decide what visitors see. ## What the store says The next cards fill the store's words and pictures: - **Contact**: the email, phone and address on the store's contact page. - **Branding**: the **Logo** (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 4 MB) and the **Favicon**, the small icon in the browser tab. - **Hero header**: the big welcome at the top of the home page: **Hero title**, **Hero subtitle** and **Hero image** (up to 8 MB; a wide picture, about 1600 × 800, looks best). - **SEO**: the title and description search engines show. - **Topbar & footer**: the thin line at the very top, left and right, and the text in the footer. - **Social links**: **+ Add link** for each page you have, with its address. A new shop starts with two sample links: remove them with the cross. ![Contact with Contact email demostore@example.com, Contact phone +256 414 220 100 and Contact address; Branding with the Demo Store logo; Hero header with Hero title "Fresh groceries and kitchenware", Hero subtitle and the Hero image.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/042628bb71-set-up-your-online-store-2-content.webp) *A new store starts with sample texts.

Categories come from your products.* ## Which products are for sale Every active product shows in the store, at its own price and with the stock of the default warehouse, unless you switch on **Hide From Online Store** on the product's form. Categories become the store's menu. A product's discount comes off its store price, and its tax is added when the tax isn't already in the price. Orders are made at the price the store shows. ## How customers pay At checkout a customer picks: - **Cash on Delivery**, chosen by default. - **Mobile Money**, when your shop's mobile money payments are switched on: the customer gets a prompt on their phone. Otherwise the order is placed and the shop contacts them about paying. - **Credit Card**, when your shop has its own card payments set up in **Settings › Payment Gateway**. There are no delivery options or delivery fees: the order uses the customer's saved address. See [Card and mobile money payments](/app/help/online-card-and-mobile-money-payments). ## What's next Handle what comes in: [Online orders](/app/help/online-orders).
