Setting up your online shop

Connect payments, choose what to sell, set delivery zones and pickup points, and open your shop.

Updated

The Online Storefront puts your products and services on a shop of your own. Orders and bookings arrive in Achabs beside your in-store sales.

Before you start

  • To sell products, you need the Inventory module, so online orders take from your real stock.
  • To take bookings, you need the Services module.
  • You need a Paystack account to take payments.

1. Connect payments

Open Settings → Payment gateway in the Storefront module and add your Paystack keys. Customers can then pay by card, mobile money or bank transfer, and the money goes to your Paystack account.

2. Set up the shop

Under Settings → Shop settings, add your business tagline, contact details and your policies (returns, delivery, privacy). Under Design, choose fonts, corner style and an optional announcement bar. Customers browse at your shop address (/shop/your-slug): categories come from Inventory → Categories for items you have published online.

3. Choose what to sell

Open Shop → Listings and add the items and services you want to sell online. For each one, add photos, a description and, if you like, a separate description for search results.

4. Delivery and pickup

Under Settings → Delivery zones, add the areas you deliver to and the fee for each. Under Pickup points, add the places customers can collect from.

5. Open the shop

Your shop is at your free address straight away. To use your own domain, see Connecting your own domain.

After launch

  • New orders appear under Online orders, and return requests under Returns.
  • Customers can leave reviews after an order, which you can see under Reviews.
  • Your shop has its own sitemap, so search engines can find each product. Share product links on WhatsApp and they show a preview with the photo and price.
