Create your store

Start

1. Go to zepsell.com and sign in with your email. Zepsell sends a sign-in link, so there's no password to set.

The steps

• The basics: your store name and its address, such as yourshop.zepsell.com. You can connect your own domain once the store is live. If more than one kind of store is on offer, you choose one here, such as an online store or B2B and wholesale.
• About your business: a few lines about what you sell, who buys it and how it should sound. Zepsell AI uses this to draft the store. Leave it blank if you're bringing your own products.
• Where you sell now (for a business you already run): your current website, and a tick box to have the Zepsell team move it across for you.
• Look: a theme and a brand colour, or let Zepsell choose.
• Where you sell: where your business is based (this sets up payouts, tax and your legal pages), your currency and the countries you sell to.

Press Create store. Zepsell sets up the storefront, checkout, admin and shipping, which takes about a minute.

What Zepsell AI drafts

If you described your business, Zepsell AI drafts a starting point: the look and colours, a headline and tagline, an about section, two to four categories, six to eight starter products with sample photos, delivery options, a returns window, homepage questions and answers, and which built-in apps to switch on.

Starter products are examples to edit or delete. Replace them with your own products and photos before you start selling, or import your products from another platform.

Your free trial

Your store is free for 14 days from when you create it, and no card is needed. The Plan page shows the days left. If you subscribe early, you aren't charged until the trial ends. See pricing for what a plan costs.

If a trial ends without a subscription, shoppers see a page saying the store will be back soon. Subscribing reopens it straight away, and nothing you built is lost.

What to do next

• Import your products, or add them under Products.
• Set up card payments so shoppers can pay.
• Connect your own domain.
• Place a test order before you share the store.
