How to Set Up an Online Store
Once you have finished setting up the products you want in your Store, it's time to create and customise your store site.

From the Ivorey™ main menu, go to [Site Pages] > then along the top menu bar click on [Stores]
Click the [+ New Store] button at the top right of your screen > and select 'From Blank' > then name your store > and click [Create] (your store site should now automatically open, however if it doesn't you can just click on your store to open the site builder)
Once inside the site builder you will see the following pages:
Product List: this is your store front where all of your products will display
Product Details: this is the page your customers will be directed to when they click on a product from your Product List page
Cart: this is the page where your customers can view their cart and select to checkout
Checkout: this is where your customers are directed to pay for their products
Thank you: this is where your customers will be directed once they have completed checkout
Click [Edit] of the first store page and begin customising your store site to your brand colours, logo, imagery and fonts to create the look and feel you want to create for your customers landing on your store site
As you are customising your store site, make sure you click [Save] at the top right of your screen regularly so you don't loose any changes made
Helpful Tips (Global Sections)
Global sections auto-update across every page - e.g. if you change the section on one page, it updates on all the pages. Perfect for things like your header and footer.
To save time turn your store header into a global section:
You can customise the header on your first store page then turn it into a 'Global Section' so you can pull this into each of your other store pages instead of having to customise each header individually. By setting up your store header as a global section, this will also mean that any changes you make to one header will automatically update all the headers on each page your global section header is pulled in on your store.

Inside the store site builder, hover over the header section until the whole header is highlighted green and click the 💾 icon
In the popup screen, name your section (e.g Store Header) > select 'Global Sections' from the dropdown menu > then click [Save]
Now if you hover over your store header section, it will highlight in purple instead of green, this means it has now been saved as a global section
To pull your new header global section into your other store pages, navigate to the next page in your store > and delete the existing header by hovering over the whole section and clicking the bin icon
Next click the [+] icon at the top left of your screen > select the 'Global Sections' tab > and drag and drop your new header global section onto your store page
Repeat this step for all of your Store Pages that you want your header global section to display on.
Note: A global section means that any changes you make on one page, will automatically update on all pages the global section is pulled into.
