## Summary

Describe what you sell and the AI builds your catalog, a page for every product and a cart that sends each order to you. Customers can pay by card through Stripe.

## Key facts

- Catalog with categories: Products sorted into categories, each with photos, a price, sizes or colors and a short description. They are kept in your site's database, so the catalog grows as you add products.
- A page for every product: Each product gets its own page at a clean address like /shop/linen-shirt, with a photo gallery, details and a clear order button. Every page is published with a title, a description and structured data.
- Cart and order form: Customers add products to the cart and send the order with their name, phone and address. Each order is saved in the database, you get an email and the customer gets a confirmation.
- Card payments through Stripe: Connect Stripe in a few clicks and the AI puts payment links on your Buy buttons. Customers pay on Stripe's checkout page, so card details never touch your site.
- Your own product photos: Upload your product photos and the AI puts each one on the right product. For banners and other sections it picks professional photos, or you search millions of free ones.
- Delivery and returns: Delivery areas, prices and times plus your returns policy, written from what you tell the AI. The order form can work out the delivery price, so the customer sees the total.

Create an online store that takes real orders

## Ideas to try

- An online shop for Juniper & Clay, my handmade ceramics studio in Portland, with mugs, bowls and vases in categories and Stripe Buy buttons
- A store for Northside Roasters in Leeds selling coffee beans by origin, with a grind choice for each bag, delivery prices and an order form
- A streetwear shop for Loop Supply in Manchester, dark and bold, with sizes on every product page, a size guide and a clear returns policy
- A simple shop for Bloom Box, a flower delivery service in Austin, with bouquets by occasion, same-day delivery areas and a cart

## How to make an online store

1. **Describe your shop**: Write or dictate what you sell, who buys it and where you deliver. The AI fills in the name and contacts and asks up to five short questions about your shop.
2. **Add your products and style**: Upload product photos and your price list, or list your products in the chat. Pick one of 9 looks and 16 color palettes, or leave both on Automatic.
3. **Publish and share the link**: Publish with one button on a free address, or connect your own domain with Premium. Share the link on Instagram or WhatsApp and see in your stats where visitors come from.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can customers pay by card in my online store?

Yes, through Stripe. Connect your Stripe account and the AI adds Buy buttons with Stripe payment links. The customer pays on Stripe's checkout page, so card details never touch your site. You can also take orders through the form and get paid on delivery.

### How many products can I add?

Your plan does not set a product count. Products are kept in your site's real database, not typed into the page, so the catalog grows with your shop: the AI adds each new product, builds its page and puts it in the right category.

### Where do I see and manage my orders?

Every order sent through the form is saved in your site's database, and you read it in your account with the products and the customer's details. You also get an email for each order, the customer gets a confirmation, and a scheduled task can send you a daily summary.

### Can I add new products later by chat?

Yes. Write something like “add the linen shirt in three colors for $39” and attach the photos. The AI adds it to the catalog, builds its page and files it under the right category. Prices and photos change the same way, also from the phone app.

### Can I show shipping costs and delivery times?

Yes. Tell the AI where you ship, what it costs and how long it takes, and it writes a clear delivery and returns page. The order form can also add the delivery price for the customer's area, using only the prices you give it.
