Getting the lay of the land

This guide is designed to assist new Shoplazza users in setting up their store before launching it to the world. In this chapter, we will give a quick overview of the various setup areas, from profile settings to store development, to help you understand how the Shoplazza Admin features are organized.

Understanding the control panel

The Shoplazza control panel is your hub for setting up and managing your store's operations, such as processing orders and updating inventory. To access the control panel, simply log in to your Shoplazza account at Shoplazza.com  . If you're logging in for the first time, you may find the Shoplazza login guide helpful.

Setting up your profile

Your Shoplazza account profile page is where you can edit a collection of basic settings that apply to your Shoplazza store as a whole.

These settings include creating, exporting, replicating and transferring your store under your registered email address.

Below are some possible scenarios you may consider using these features:

• Moving your stores

If you're selling your business or transferring ownership to someone else, you may need to transfer your Shoplazza store to the new owner's account. This can ensure that the new owner has access to all of the store's data, settings, and customer information.

• Collaborating with Others

If you're working with a team or collaborating with others on your store, you may need to transfer the store to a different account to grant access to additional team members or collaborators.

Your account information refers to the credentials you use to log in to your Shoplazza account.  Your account access information also helps to secure your Shoplazza account by preventing unauthorized access to your store's information and settings.

You can add a layer of security to your account by enabling our two-factor authentication.

Seeking assistance from Help Center/Community

The Shoplazza Help Center   serves as a resource to provide assistance to merchants on various aspects of their e-commerce business. The Help Center is designed to help you resolve issues or find answers to questions related to building a sophisticated yet simple to operate e-commerce store with the shoplazza Admin.

It offers a variety of resources, including user documentation, guides, FAQs, and video tutorials, to assist you in managing your online store. Additionally, the Shoplazza Help Center provides access to a community forum   where you can interact with other merchants and get help and advice from experienced sellers.

Integrating with other Apps

The Shoplazza App Store   is where you can download free or advanced apps to extend your store's functionality based on your needs. Integrating apps can give your store new features and capabilities that are not available through Shoplazza's native features. For example, you might use an app to provide live chat support or to offer discounts and promotions to your customers, adapting a dynamic store interface that will translate your content automatically based on customer's locations.

Finding the right theme for your store

A good theme design can help you establish your brand identity and make your store memorable for customers. By using consistent colors, fonts, and imagery, you can create a cohesive brand image that reflects your products and values.

Explore Shoplazza's free themes, all designed to offer the best home page customization without requiring any coding experience. You can select any theme under Online Store > Themes and edit the content of your store pages through the Shoplazza theme editor.

Understanding your sections and blocks can help you jump start on building a personalized online store.
