Open Your Storefront

⚠️ Heads Up

Before you open your storefront and start adding products, make sure to set up your payout method first. Your shop cannot go live, and your products will not be listed publicly until you connect a payout method. Please note that receiving payments via a check payout is not available for marketplace sales.

You may notice a toggle above two blue buttons that says, "Storefront is closed" or "Open storefront." Go ahead and toggle it and select "Yes" to open your shop on Eventeny. The toggle should now be blue and say, "Storefront is open."

A search bar allows users to search products by name, tag, description, etc., with results set to show 25 items.
