Region

First of all we'll ask you to pick a region for your store. The region is used for currency and date formatting.

Name

Your store name will be shown on all the Enstore pages, in the title and in confirmation emails to customers. In contrast to the store handle, you can change the store name. In some of the default templates the store name will be used as a substitute when no logo is used. The browser can't hyphenate and this will cause long words to exceed template boundaries. Use spaces in that case. Not using spaces means long words will cause your store to look like this:

Handle

Every store has a unique store handle. The store handle is the most important way to identify your web store. Among other places, it's used in the web address for your store: http://storehandle.enstore.com. Make sure to choose your store handle wisely, as you can't change it easily afterwards. If you need to change your store handle, you can contact Support.

Region

With Region you choose the way dates and currencies are displayed in your store.

Email

Your customers can contact you through the email address you provide here. It may be a good idea to use a professional-looking email address and one you check often, because everything related to your Enstore will be send to this address.

The email address you provide can be linked to your web store via the Contact item in Settings: Navigation.

Logo

Here you can upload the logo you want your store to display. Make sure the logo isn't too big or too small. Pictures bigger than 1 MB can not be uploaded, and when the dimensions are too small (a 30x30 pixels logo for example), the logo won't be recognizable for your customers.

Your store logo will be used throughout your web store and on confirmation emails. We recommend uploading PNG files, but JPG and GIF are also accepted. PNGs tend to be clearer images. Also, we recommend not using transparency in the logo, so people with old browsers can see the logo as it's meant to be. If you do have transparency, try flattening the picture with Photoshop and set the background so it matches the color of your template. The right color codes can be found here.

Homepage

Your web store's homepage is the page your customers see first when they visit your store. You choose which page you want to be your homepage in Settings: Navigation. You can choose between every page you've created for your store in Settings: Navigation.
