Before your customers can see your store, you need to publish it. The first time you publish, you will also pick the Minicart subdomain where your store lives.
Ask Sloane
Tell Sloane "I'm ready to publish" or "take my store live". Sloane will walk you through the steps and flag anything missing.
Pick your storefront URL
During your first publish, you will choose the subdomain your store lives at: yourstore.minicart.com. Pick something short and close to your brand. You can connect your own custom domain later. See Connect a custom domain.
What to check before going live
At least one active product with an image and description
Your logo and brand colors look right
An About Us page or contact info if you want one
Payments are set up so customers can check out. See Set up payments for your store.
Publish
Hit Publish. Minicart runs a build and your store goes live in under a minute. You will see a confirmation with your live URL.
Republishing
Every change you make in the portal gets picked up on the next publish. You can publish as often as you want. Sloane will let you know when there are unpublished changes worth pushing live.
