Setup Wizard

Get Your Store Live in Minutes

A guided wizard walks through every configuration step, business details, pages,
currency, and payment gateways, so your store is ready to sell immediately.

Stores that complete a guided setup process are 3x more likely to launch within the first week than those configuring manually.

Step-by-Step Store
Configuration

The EasyCommerce setup wizard breaks store configuration into clear, manageable steps. Business information, store pages, currency, payment gateways. Each step is focused and straightforward with no overwhelming options.

Skip steps you don't need and come back later. The wizard saves progress so you can complete setup at your own pace.

    Auto-Creates Required
    WordPress Pages

    The wizard automatically generates the Shop, Checkout, and Customer Dashboard pages in WordPress, with the correct EasyCommerce shortcodes already placed and configured. No manual page creation needed.

    Pages are created with sensible defaults and set as your store's active pages immediately. You can customize the page content after setup using the standard WordPress editor.

      Test Privately, Then Flip to Live

      A Test/Live toggle sits right in the WordPress admin bar. In Test mode, only admins can see and use the storefront, while everyone else sees a maintenance page, so you can configure and trial your store privately.

      Switch to Live the moment you're ready. No data is lost when you change modes, and the setting is saved in your store options.
