WHO THIS IS FOR

Owners taking orders online

  • for the first time, without a designer or a website.

Anyone refreshing the look

  • of a store that is already live. Publishing overwrites the old theme.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your menu should be in first. The storefront shows whatever items and categories you already have.

No design software needed. The AI Business Assistant makes the logo and banner from your registered business details.

Save Draft is not live. Nothing reaches customers until you tap Publish and confirm Publish Now.

THE STEPS

Step 1: Open Online Store settings

From the home dashboard, tap the More tab, then Online Store. The control panel shows your store link and a Share button.

Step 3: Add your logo

Tap Upload Logo. In the Upload Image drawer, choose Generate with AI if you do not have a file ready. The assistant uses your registered business name; when it finishes, scroll down in the chat and tap Use this, or Regenerate for another.

Uploading your own file instead? JPEG or PNG, up to 120 KB for the logo.

IF IT LOOKS WRONG

Changes sit in draft until you publish. Tap Publish, then Publish Now on the confirmation.

Switch Item Image Ratio between 1:1 and 4:3 to match how your photos were shot.

Logos are limited to 120 KB, JPEG or PNG. Shrink the file, or generate one with the AI assistant instead.
