Choose the experience you intend to offer#

A selling mode controls the customer workflow. It does not add stock, approve a payment provider or waive app prerequisites.

ChoiceWhen it fitsWhat it changes
Online checkoutCustomers browse, build a cart and place supported orders.Requires invoicing and the relevant payment, delivery and policy setup before publication.
Catalogue onlyCustomers browse products and contact the business.Customer checkout remains closed. Installed prerequisites still use their normal app allowance.
Counter salesAn authenticated cashier records in-person purchases.Uses assigned registers and shifts; it is not a public online checkout.

Physical goods, services and digital delivery#

Physical goods can use tracked stock and delivery or pickup rules. Services use the supported untracked workflow. Digital goods need private delivery files and the supported payment-gated delivery controls.

Original theme previews use fictional products and cannot take orders. A visual theme changes presentation, not the business’s legal identity, stock or payment evidence.

  1. Compare responsive themes in the original theme gallery.
  2. Choose a design and add the business’s own accurate products and policies.
  3. Review the actual customer workflow before publishing.

Explore original designs#

The thirty-design gallery is available at /ecommerce/themes. Previewing a theme does not publish a shop or add sample goods to your workspace.

Keep the active workspace, actual business requirements and current setup summary in view. A guide explains a choice; it does not make that choice for you.
