What do you need before you start?

  • A store created in the Printcart Dashboard (see Part 1).
  • Your website address, a short description, an owner email and phone number. A logo and a banner image are recommended.

The screenshots come from a demo account with a demo store called Demo Print Shop and made-up buyer names. Your store name, products and numbers will differ, but the screens and buttons are the same. Secret values are always hidden in the pictures.

How do you set up your store profile and brand settings?

Step 1Open Store Profile

In the left menu, under Store Setup, click Store Profile. The group opens with six pages. The top of the page shows a status badge (Needs setup until the required items are done) and the panel on the right, Publishing readiness, counts the checks that are complete.

Expected result: The Brand Identity page opens.

Expected result: The saved values show in the Brand Profile preview card on the right.

Step 6Write the SEO title and description

Step 7Check the publishing checklist

Open Publish Readiness. Required items (store name, slug, website URL, description, categories, owner email, owner phone) block publishing until they are done; recommended items (logo, banner, SEO title) do not. When nothing is missing, the page says the Brand Profile is ready to publish and offers the publish button. Use Open preview to look at the public page first.

Expected result: All required checks are green and the publish button is available.
