Setting up your E-commerce

Within the settings menu tab for your E-Commerce, you will find important sections that will need to be completed before you can open up a Webshop and/or advertise your products online. 

Below we will go through each section to provide you with a quick overview of the information that will need to be entered.

General

Within this section, you will need to add information about your business: Business Name, Address, and Contact Details. 

Also, you will be able to include direct links to the Social Media platforms that your business is connected to: Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.

Finally, you can select the default currency that you would like the price of your products to be displayed in. As well as specifying the weight and dimension unit which is connected to your Shipping & Delivery rates.

It is important to note that, without completing this information you will not be able to set up the Webshop in our Website Builder product.

Payment 

Within the Payment Section, you can select the type of payment that you would like to offer to your customers.

Currently, the only payment method option available is PayPal. 

Cobiro will be introducing further payment methods in the near future, so keep an eye out for this update through our website and social media accounts. 

Shipping & Delivery

This section allows you to specify the type of shipping and delivery that you would like to offer to your customers.

First, you will need to create a new Shipping Zone. The ‘Zone Name’ box is there to provide a name for your own reference to the type of Shipping. For example: Standard - Free Shipping - Fast Delivery. Followed by the Country or Region that you would like to deliver to within this delivery type.

After submitting your shipping zone it will appear within your Shipping & Delivery settings. Now you will need to add the shipping rates by clicking on the ‘Add Rate’ button.

Here you will name the Shipping Rate that will appear to your customers when they are on the checkout page. If you would like to offer your customers free shipping then this can be done by activating the slide button next to ‘Free Shipping’.

Followed by the Shipping Rate, Min. and Max. delivery time in business days, Monday to Friday, and the conditions that this shipping rate is based upon:

Without conditions

Order Price: specify the Min. or Max. price a customer should spend to achieve this type of shipping rate.

Item Weight: specify the Min. or Max. weight a customer should spend to achieve this type of shipping rate.

The Currency and Weight/Size Units can be changed within the ‘General’ section mentioned above.

In the future, if you would like to edit any part of your Shipping Zone or Shipping Rate, this can easily be done by selecting the pencil icon on the right-hand side of your settings page. 

Legal

Under this section, you will need to add your store's legal documents, Terms and Conditions, that are displayed on your site(s). Add the necessary legal pages to inform customers about various aspects of your services.
