How to open and run your store

Here’s the full path—from signup to your first product to going live on your own domain—so you know what to expect before you click Create a store.

How it works

Six steps from zero to a live storefront on your subdomain—including upcoming pickup and delivery. Skim the headings first, then read what applies to you.

  1. Create your store

    On onboarding you sign up, pick a store address (your slug), username, and base currency. That slug becomes the first part of your public URL—like coffee if you’ll live at coffee.ministore.live.

  2. Open your tenant site

    After onboarding you’re redirected to your store’s origin—the same hostname for the shop and the admin. Bookmark it; this is where you and your customers always go.

  3. Add products

    In the dashboard, add products with photos, prices, and stock. Changes publish to your storefront right away—no separate “sync” step.

  4. Run the business

    Use /dashboard for overview and settings, /orders for fulfillment and customer orders. Everything stays on your subdomain so your brand stays front and center.

  5. Pickup & delivery (coming soon)

    Ministore Logistics will let buyers choose store pickup or doorstep delivery at checkout—with a small delivery fee shown upfront. See the logistics section below for how it works.

  6. Go live on your domain

    When you’re ready in production, point a DNS wildcard at this app so every tenant subdomain resolves. Until then, local dev URLs below still let you build and test.

Fulfillment

Coming soon

Pickup & delivery with Ministore Logistics

Today you take orders on your storefront and manage them in /orders. Soon you'll also offer pickup or delivery from the same link—Ministore coordinates fulfillment so you can keep selling instead of chasing couriers.

  • Store pickup

    Buyers collect in person—you set clear pickup instructions on checkout.

  • Doorstep deliverySmall delivery fee

    Ministore handles the last mile. A small delivery fee is shown upfront at checkout—no haggling in DMs.

  • Tracked in your dashboard

    Fulfillment status lives next to orders and products, so you’re not jumping between apps.

What fulfillment will look like

Order alerts are live today. When a customer checks out, you get email and mobile push notifications. Logistics adds pickup and delivery on top of that flow.

What your URLs look like

Each store is a subdomain of your configured domain. The same host serves the public catalog and the admin—you just change the path.

  • Storefrontatyourstore.ministore.live(your slug replaces “slug”)
  • Admin & tools on the same host, e.g. /dashboard, /orders, and catalog settings—no second domain to remember.
