Get started

Your path to launch

The steps from a local demo to a live store, who usually owns each one, and where each is documented.

Launching the storefront is a short, predictable sequence. Most of it happens in WordPress, which your store team already knows; the rest is a one-time deployment. Follow the stages in order — each one builds on the previous.

  1. Explore the demo — everyone

    Run the storefront locally in Demo Mode or browse the read-only QA store. Agree on languages, the home-page sections you want, and any must-have integrations.

  2. Prepare WordPress — store admin

    Check the WooCommerce settings the storefront relies on: pretty permalinks, HTTPS, selling and shipping locations, free-shipping thresholds, brands, timezone and currency.

  3. Install the Companion plugin — store admin or developer

    Install and activate it, add the two secrets to wp-config.php, and set the storefront URL under StoreFront → Settings → General (guide).

  4. Connect and deploy the storefront — developer or IT

    Point the storefront at your store, then deploy it to Cloudflare Workers or any Node host on your production domain.

  5. Make it yours — store admin

    Set colours, build the header and footer, fill the home page, write your policy pages and SEO.

  6. Turn on payments and sign-in — store admin

    Configure Stripe, PayPal and wallets in test mode first, then Google and Facebook sign-in and Turnstile bot protection.

  7. Go live — everyone

    Work through the go-live checklist: live payment keys, a real test order and refund, email delivery, cron, Search Console and backups.
