3 - Configure your online store
- Get started by changing the appearance of your online store. PrestaShop offers a free theme that you can customise with your logo, and your own images. You can also use a wide range of optional themes, to make a unique website that suits you.
- Your website visitors will look closely at your product pages. Add as much information as possible for each item in your catalogue: the price, description, images, sizes and colours available, and whether they are in stock. Product pages that are rich in content will highlight your expertise, and encourage your website visitors to buy products from your website. To work more on your content, create a WordPress blog and link it to your e-commerce website.
- Offer the most popular and secure payment methods to your customers: credit card, cheque, bank transfer, and PayPal.
- Install modules for the shipping carriers that you use to deliver your products. You can define delivery costs for each item.
- A wide range of marketing modules and tools are available to download from the admin panel, so that you can improve your website and conversion rates: promo codes, SMS and email sending, price comparisons, social networks.
- Once you have installed all the modules you need, your store will be ready to receive its first orders.
