The storefront on your site
The storefront is a set of elements Genesis puts on your site. They read your CRM catalog as it is: change a price or a stock count in CRM and the site shows it within a minute or so — no re-publish needed.
Adding the store
Section titled “Adding the store”Ask the AI in chat — “add a store”, “add a shop with a cart” — or use the
/add Store slash command. Genesis adds:
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Catalog | Product grid with search and filters — price, product type, collections, your product options, and in stock only. |
| Product pages | Gallery, option pickers, stock status and Add to cart, at /product/<handle>. |
| Collections | One page per collection, at /collections/<handle>. |
| Cart & checkout | One cart for everything the buyer adds; the checkout takes the address, delivery and payment. |
| Order status page | Where the buyer follows their order — see below. |
| Sign-in & my orders | A returning buyer signs in to see their order history. Buying never needs an account. |
Built a shop before the sign-in existed? /add Sign-in & my orders adds just that part.
The checkout
Section titled “The checkout”- Contact and address. The address decides which delivery options and which tax apply.
- Delivery. The options your shipping zones offer for that address — flat, free over a threshold, by weight, local delivery, pickup, or live carrier rates (for example UPS Ground, FedEx 2Day, or Cheapest delivery through Shiprocket or NimbusPost in India) with their transit times. If nothing is offered for an address, the store does not ship there and the order cannot be placed.
- Discount code, when the store has codes.
- Payment through a connected gateway — Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Square, Easy Pay Direct or Paystack.
After payment the buyer gets an order confirmation email with a link to the order page.
The order status page
Section titled “The order status page”Every order has its own private page on your site, /order/<code>. The link is in the
confirmation email. It shows what was bought and paid, and each shipment with its carrier,
tracking number and status — an order sent in two parcels shows two. It keeps itself up to date
while something is on its way.
Search engines
Section titled “Search engines”When you publish, Genesis writes a real page for every product and collection that has a URL handle, with its title, description and image, and adds them to the sitemap — so each product can be found in search on its own.
What’s next
Section titled “What’s next”- Shipping & tax — the delivery options and tax the checkout offers.
- Orders, shipping & discounts — what happens after the buyer pays.
