Your online shop
Short answers about how your storefront looks to your customers and when your changes reach them. Every screen named here is under Store builder in the main menu, unless stated otherwise.
Are my changes visible to my customers right away?
It depends on what you change. A new page, menu or section starts as a draft: your customers only see it once you put it online — Put online for a page or a menu, Publish for a section. Once something is online, the changes you make to it show at once. Products and categories have no draft step: they show as soon as they are active.
Can my shop have several themes?
You can prepare more than one theme, but only one dresses your storefront at a time: the published one, used on every page. To prepare another look, click Create a new theme under Theme; your customers see it only when you click Use this theme.
Can I use the same section on several pages?
Yes. A section is created once, in Sections, and you place it on as many pages as you want — or on every page, including the ones you create later. Its Usage tab lists every page that shows it.
Note — The header and the footer of your storefront belong to your theme, so they are not placed like sections.
Where does my banner appear?
The Top banner is a strip shown at the top of every page of your storefront. You set its messages, its style and its height under Marketing, then Callouts, then Top banner.
Can I choose the countries I sell to?
Yes. Under Publication, the Countries tab lists every country with its status. Click Activate to open a country to your customers, or Disable to close it. At least one country always stays active.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Under Publication, you declare your domain name, prove it is yours, then point it to your shop; the screen shows each step and its progress. Until then, your shop can use its free address ending in .ultineo.com.
Note — Once your domain is verified, it takes a little while before your shop answers on it. The screen tells you while it is being prepared.
