Open your online store in one afternoon

Many small shops want to sell online. But a second system means typing every product again, and keeping two stock counts. In Sellrika the online store is already there. It uses the same products, the same stock and the same orders as your POS.

So you do not build a website. You switch it on.

Step 1: Switch it on

1. Open Settings › Online Store.
2. In the Public storefront box, turn on the switch. The label changes to Store is live.
3. Click Save settings.

Your store now has a free address, like my-shop.shop.sellrika.com. You can change the first part in the Store URL box.

Step 2: Pick a look

Open the Template tab. There are six looks: Editorial, Minimal, Soft, Sunday, Noir and Lumen. Click one and save. You can switch any time. Your products and settings stay the same.

Want your own brand colours? Click the small settings button on a template. Pick your colours and a font, then click Save.

Step 3: Tell people who you are

Open Banner & contact.

• Add your phone, address, opening hours and social links. They show at the bottom of every page.
• Add a short Banner text for news, like "Free delivery this week".

On the Pages tab you can add pages like "About us" or "Terms of Use".

Step 4: Use your own domain (optional)

1. Type your domain, like shop.example.com, in Custom domain.
2. Click Save settings. A table of DNS records appears.
3. Add these records where you bought your domain.
4. Come back and click Check now.

When the status says Live, your store opens on your domain. The secure https lock is set up for you. A DNS change can take a few hours. The app keeps checking by itself.

Step 5: Set up payment and delivery

Buyers can pay by card with Stripe, Omise, 2C2P or PayPal. You can also offer cash on delivery and bank transfer. Then set your delivery fees and decide if buyers can pick up in store. Our next post explains these steps.

Reach more people

• Languages: offer your store in English, German and Thai.
• Currencies: show prices in other currencies, for visitors from abroad. They still pay in your shop's currency.
• Google: connect Google Search Console and send your sitemap.
• Product feed: add one link to Google Merchant Center, Meta or TikTok. Your products show there with up-to-date prices and stock.
• Analytics: paste your Google Analytics or Meta Pixel ID.

Never miss an order

On the Alerts tab, add an email address or a Telegram chat. You get a message for every new online order. Buyers can follow their order with the Track order link at the bottom of your store.
