Create a store with the setup wizard
The store wizard has four steps: store name, industry, theme and starting point. Only the name is required. The other steps have options already selected, and you can change all of them later.
Open the wizard
- Sign in to EcomWeb. See Sign up and sign in.
- If you have no stores yet, click Create your first store in the store list.
If you already have a store, click your avatar in the top bar, select All stores, then click Create store.
Name your store and choose an industry
- Enter the Store name, 2 to 100 characters. The free address built from this name shows below it.
- Click Continue.
- Under What do you sell?, choose the industry closest to yours. If none fits, choose Other.
- Click Continue.
Choose a theme
- Choose Meridian or Orange. The theme that suits your industry has a Suggested label.
- To have an AI assistant design a theme of your own, click Try under Want a theme of your own?. Once your store is created, you get a prompt to use with the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app.
- Click Continue.
Choose a starting point and create the store
- Under Where are you starting from?, choose the option closest to you.
- Select or clear Add sample products to see how your store looks. Sample products let you preview the theme, and you can delete them with one button later. See Delete the sample products.
- Click Create store.
- Wait while EcomWeb prepares your store.
- Click Go to Overview.
If you chose the AI assistant, click Copy on the Prompt for your AI assistant card to save the prompt before you go to Overview.
See what your new store comes with
EcomWeb sets up a few things so you can take orders sooner:
- Cash on delivery (COD) is turned on.
- A nationwide shipping zone with a Standard shipping rate of 30.000 ₫. Fashion stores also get a free shipping rate for orders of 500.000 ₫ or more.
- About, Contact and policy pages.
- The theme you chose, and sample products if you kept that option.
Next, follow the guide on the Overview page. See Set up your store in 15 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the free address exactly what I see in the wizard?
Not always. The address is built from your store name without Vietnamese accents, and it is 3 to 20 characters long. If someone already uses that address, EcomWeb adds a short suffix. The real address shows on the Overview page once your store is created.
Can I change my store name later?
Yes. You can change it at any time in Settings.
What is the industry used for?
It suggests themes and picks the sample products. The Fashion industry has 11 sample products and the other industries have 2.
What if the create store page is interrupted halfway?
Reload the page. The wizard carries on with what it was doing and doesn't create a second store. If you see a Try again button, click it.
