In the online market, people can’t touch the products, so it’s a look that helps them in their buying decision. That’s why a perfect store theme is really important for your business. It helps in representing your business idea in a more appealing way. At Builderfly theme store, we have 100+ fully customizable free as well as paid themes. To start building your store, you can choose one from them.
Are you confused between the numerous themes? Do you know how can you find a perfect theme for your Builderfly store?
Well, you can check through the industry verticals and can preview the theme you opted for. Once you select your theme, you will be automatically redirected to your “Manage Store” section. Else, you can follow the option from the main dashboard, to start customizing your store theme.
3. Build your Online Store
After navigating from the Builderfly theme store or Manage Store section, you can get started with the main process of building your store. Below is the image of your store dashboard, you can update all the settings from the same panel:
- Customize Your Theme: You can customize your Builderfly theme to every extent. From header, footer and body section to the menu options and settings. You can select the background color, images to be used in the white space as well as the font and the font size with which you want to display your content. It doesn’t require any technical skills, you can manage it simply following the dashboard instructions; else check our user manual, for better understanding.
- Update Your Inventory: Add more feel to your store by adding your products. You can update your products individually from the “add your products” section on the main dashboard or can bulk upload with the help of .csv file. In case you miss certain attributes while uploading the products, you can always come and edit as per your convenience.
- Manage Your Inventory: You can manage your inventory listings across the range of pages. To access the inventory management section, you can follow manage the store section, as well as can update details on the product listing pages.
- Assign roles & permission: If you are just starting out, then probably a single account can serve. But, more your business grows, more staff accounts you will require. However, giving entire access to someone else can bring a huge risk for your business. We care for your business, and that’s why we allow you to grant selective access to your staff. As an admin, we empower you to assign the partial or full access to your store, as per your preference.
4. Update your business settings
We know, you are super excited to get your store ready, but updating these settings before launch is also crucial for your business. Don’t bother, there is not a lot of it. In Builderfly, your privacy policy, terms & conditions are already updated in your storefront. You simply need to add those pages and update them once you start building your e-commerce store. However, you need to take care of making changes for:
- Shipping Rates: If you don’t update the shipping rates, your selling price of the products must have these included. Otherwise, you have to ship them for free. You can fix your shipping rates on the basis of volumetric charges as well as on the weight or product based prices. You can make the distinct shipping slabs based on the rates for volume and weight.
- Tax Settings: The tax settings vary from country to country and you have to update these to ease your business. Else, you may not be able to make a good profit from your business. You don’t have to worry here if you can update the tax template directly after downloading from the reliable income tax site of your country. A simple excel sheet in the .csv format is fine to update the necessary tax details. You have to add multiple tax detail if you are dealing in multiple countries. You can easily manage these under the manage your store settings.
- Return Policy: We already had the standard return policies updated for your storefront. However, if you want to change or add a certain clause, you can always do that. If you don’t want the return of products for lesser than a certain price range, you can manage that too from the backend.
- Shipping Address: Your communication address is already updated when you have registered your store. In case, you have a distinct business address or the warehouse address, you can update it in the account section of the dashboard. By default, this will be the same address for your return products as well. In case, you want to change that return address, you can manage from the backend.
- Payment Gateway: In your Builderfly store, you and your customers have easy access to 100+ payment gateways. However, you can select the one or two with which you have configured your merchant accounts. Once you configure, you will offer the bank details there, this way you will get the payment of your orders directly in your bank account. So, you need not wait for the payment processing and can re-invest in your business soon.
5. Grow your network
