A few years ago an ecommerce website meant hiring a developer, buying hosting and wiring up a payment gateway. Today a store builder does all of that; your job is the products, photos and words. Here's the no-code path, step by step.

What the store builder handles for you

Developer taskDone by the store builder
Hosting, domain setup, SSLIncluded; your store is live on a secure address
Product pages and catalogBuilt from what you type in the dashboard
Cart and checkoutReady, with your rules for COD and minimum order
Mobile designEvery theme is built for phones first
Order emails and tracking pageAutomatic for every order

Build it in five steps

  1. 1

    Pick a theme

    Preview with your own products before choosing. See Choose a theme.

  2. 2

    Add products

    Name, price, stock, photos and options. Add a product.

  3. 3

    Organise categories

    They become your menu and filters.

  4. 4

    Set delivery and checkout

    Delivery fee rule, COD options and what buyers fill in.

  5. 5

    Customise and launch

    Logo, banner and colours, a policy page — then switch the shop on.

Good to know: No-code doesn't mean no effort. Good photos and clear descriptions still decide whether people buy.
