Store Settings

Store configuration

Store configuration manages the core identity and appearance settings for your online store. These settings control what customers see on your storefront, including your store name, tagline, and copyright information.

Accessing store configuration

  1. From your admin, go to Settings > Store Configuration
  2. Update the fields you want to change
  3. Click Save

Available settings

Store name

Your store name is displayed prominently across your website, including the header, browser tab, and email notifications. Choose a name that clearly represents your brand.

Tag line

The tag line appears in your homepage title and helps customers understand what your store offers at a glance. Keep it short and descriptive.

Store description

An optional description used as the default meta description for search engines. A well-written description can improve how your store appears in search results.

Tip

Keep your store description under 160 characters for the best display in search engine results.

Configure the copyright notice displayed in your store's footer:

  • Copyright Start Year - The year your business started (optional)
  • Copyright Holder Name - The name of the copyright holder, typically your business name (optional)

If set, a copyright notice like "2020 - 2025 Your Business Name" is displayed in the footer.

Enable blog

Toggle the blog feature on or off for your store. When enabled, a blog section becomes available on your website where you can publish articles and news.

Live Mode

Live Mode indicates that your store is running in production and accepting real customer orders. This setting enforces production-ready payment gateway configuration.

Live Mode enabled:

  • Your store is in production mode
  • Test payment gateways are not allowed
  • Revolut sandbox mode is automatically disabled
  • Stripe test API keys are rejected
  • Only production payment credentials are accepted

Live Mode disabled:

  • Your store is in test/development mode
  • Test payment gateways are allowed
  • You can use Revolut sandbox mode
  • You can use Stripe test API keys
  • Suitable for testing before launch

Production safety

When you enable Live Mode, the system validates your payment gateway configuration. If test payment gateways are detected (Revolut sandbox mode or Stripe test keys), Live Mode activation will be blocked until you update to production credentials.

Before enabling Live Mode:

  1. Configure production payment gateway credentials in Payment Gateway settings
  2. Disable Revolut sandbox mode if using Revolut
  3. Update Stripe to use live API keys (not test keys)
  4. Test your checkout flow thoroughly
  5. Enable Live Mode when ready for production

Switching back to test mode:

If you need to test changes after going live:

  1. Disable Live Mode in Store Configuration
  2. Update payment gateways to use test credentials
  3. Complete your testing
  4. Re-enable production credentials
  5. Re-enable Live Mode

Tip

Live Mode is designed to prevent accidental misconfiguration in production. The bidirectional validation between Live Mode and payment gateway settings ensures your store never runs with mismatched test/production configurations.

How versioning works

Each time you save your store configuration, a new version is created with a timestamp. The most recent version is always used as the active configuration. This means you always have a history of past settings.

Permissions

Store configuration requires the Store Configuration permission. Users without this permission will not see the settings menu item or be able to access the configuration page.
