We have a number of templates that you can use to set up a shop on your website to sell your merchandise.

There are four steps that you will need to take to set up a shop on your website.

Firstly, you will need to create a new channel on your website to contain all your shop pages. When you create this channel, make sure you untick the Create Channel Summary option, as this will not be needed.

Next, you should create your Product Summary page. This will automatically list all of the products that you create.

After you have created your Product Summary page, you should create your shopping basket page, and then you will be ready to add your products.

Your users will add each of the products that they want to buy into the shopping basket, and they can then be taken through to your chosen payment provider.

Testing

You should carry out a test transaction after you make any changes to the commerce pages on your website to ensure that the change is working as you would expect it to.
