Creating Your Store
Create Your Cartly Store
Getting started with Cartly takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to set up your store and start selling.
Step 1: Register an Account
Visit the Cartly admin panel and click Create Account. You will need to provide your email address and choose a password. A verification email is sent immediately ā click the link to confirm your account.
Step 2: Name Your Store
After verifying your email, you will be prompted to enter your store name. This name appears in your storefront header, emails, and browser tab. You can change it later in Settings. Cartly automatically generates a subdomain based on your store name (e.g., my-store.cartly.pro).
Step 3: Set Your Contact Details
Navigate to Settings ā General and fill in your business contact information:
- Contact name and email
- Phone number (optional)
- Business address (street, city, state, postal code, country)
This information is used for shipping calculations, tax configuration, and appears on invoices.
Step 4: Choose a Subscription Plan
Cartly offers four plans: Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise. All plans include a 14-day free trial. Navigate to Settings ā Billing to select your plan. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time.
Step 5: Configure Payments
Go to Settings ā Payments and connect your Stripe account. Cartly supports both test mode (for development) and live mode (for real transactions). You can start in test mode to verify your checkout flow before going live.
Step 6: Add Your First Product
Navigate to Products ā Add Product and fill in the title, description, price, and upload at least one image. See the Adding Your First Product guide for detailed instructions.
What Next?
Once your store is set up, explore the admin panel to customize your theme, set up shipping zones, create collections, and configure your navigation menus. The Admin Panel Tour guide walks you through every section.
