Setting up your store

Wix Stores: About Your Basic Site Info

To make sure all aspects of your store are working smoothly, you need to fill in your site settings. This includes information such as your site's name, language, and region.

Add your website settings

From Website settings, you can enter basic information such as your site name. This is the name that appears in your site's dashboard, the My Sites page, and in search results.

Tip:

To give your site a more professional look, make sure you upload a 16 x 16 pixel favicon - the symbol that appears on browser tabs.   

Enter your business info

From Business info, you can enter your business details such as your location and contact information.

While much of the business info is important for your site in general, some has a direct impact on your store. For example, if you upload a logo, it can be displayed at the top of your Checkout Page instead of your site name. The recommended logo image ratio is 1:1.

In addition, the email address you enter here is the one that notifications are sent to when you make a sale.

Tip:

Your site language (the language customers see) can be different from your account language (the language of your dashboard, Editor and Wix communications).

Assign roles & permissions

If you have other people working on your site, go to Roles & permissions to give them permission to access certain site data. Options include:

  • Admin (Co-Owner): Gives access to almost all parts of your site.

  • Store Manager: Gives access to all parts of your store.

  • Custom role: Create your own role and with the specific permissions you want to allow.
