Managing a Store
Once created, you can manage your store's core settings from the admin panel.
Editing Store Details
- Go to Admin → Settings → General (or from the Stores page, click the store card)
- You can modify:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Store display name |
| Description | Brief description |
| Visibility | Public, private, or unlisted |
| Maintenance mode | Toggle to show a maintenance page instead of the storefront |
Maintenance Mode
When enabled, visitors see a maintenance page instead of your store. Useful during updates or when you're not ready to launch.
- Go to Admin → Settings → General
- Toggle Maintenance Mode on or off
- Changes take effect immediately for all visitors
The maintenance page returns HTTP 503 and displays a customizable message.
Starting and Stopping the Storefront
Your store's SSR storefront runs as a separate process. You can control it:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start | Launches the storefront Node.js process |
| Stop | Halts the storefront process |
| Status | Shows current process health |
| Register | Registers the store with the proxy router |
These actions are available from the Stores page (card menu) and via the API.
The storefront auto-starts after every successful build from GitHub.
Deleting a Store
Warning: This action requires the Owner role and cannot be undone.
- From the Stores page, open the card menu (three dots)
- Click Delete Store
- Confirm the deletion
Deleting a store removes all its products, categories, orders, and settings. The GitHub repository is not deleted automatically — you must remove it separately if needed.
Cloning a Store
Create a copy of an existing store:
- From the Stores page, open the card menu
- Click Duplicate
- The system creates a new store with the same structure
The clone gets its own public ID, API key, and repository.
Store Status Indicators
On the Stores page, each card shows:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active (green) | Store is public and operating |
| Inactive | Store is private or unlisted |
| Maintenance (yellow) | Maintenance mode is on |
