General
The General tab is where you manage your store's core identity and a few store-wide controls. Open Settings from the dashboard sidebar and select the General tab.
General settings
These fields define how your store is identified and how prices and times are handled across the dashboard and storefront:
- Shop Name. The name shown to customers and used to identify your store. This field is required.
- Select shop category. The category that best describes what your store sells. Pick the closest match from the dropdown.
- Choose shop currency. The currency all prices, taxes, and payouts are shown and calculated in. Currently USD is the only supported currency, so all products are sold in USD.
- Timezone. Your store's local timezone, used for order timestamps, reports, and scheduling. Stores are currently US based, so choose a US timezone such as (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time or (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time.
- Tags. Optional keywords that help organize and describe your store. Type a tag and press Enter to add it; click the × on a tag to remove it.

Checkout Settings
Disable Checkout lets you temporarily close ordering. When enabled, customers can still browse your store but cannot place orders, which is useful during maintenance or while you update inventory. Turn it off to reopen checkout.
Danger zone
Deactivate shop takes your store offline immediately. Your data stays safe, reactivate before your billing period ends to resume without resubscribing.
Staff Management
Add team members to your store, control what they can access, and manage their details from the Staff Management page.
Subscription
View your store's plan and next billing date, change or cancel your plan, compare all plans, and download invoices and receipts, from the Subscription settings tab.
