Creating your first store
Your store gets built for you. You choose a niche, and about five minutes later you have a real store with categories, products, articles and a design, ready to look at.
Open Your Stores in your account. Select the orange Create a Store button near the top of the page.
Pick how you want it built
Three options, shown as cards with a meter telling you what each one costs in AI chips. Most people should use one of the first two.
Instant Store. Choose a ready-made store from our library of popular niches, and AI makes it uniquely yours. Everything is already in place and proven, so this is the quickest route to something that looks finished. It also uses fewer chips than building from scratch. This is the option the page starts on, and it is the one we would suggest for a first store.
AI Builder. AI builds a brand-new store for any niche you like. Choose this if you have a niche in mind that is not in the Instant Store library, or you simply want something nobody else is starting from.
Blank Store. An empty canvas you build yourself. It sits behind the Advanced link because very few people want it. Worth knowing it is there if you enjoy doing everything by hand.
Full Auto or Semi-Auto
If you pick AI Builder, you choose between two ways of working.
Full Auto is the easiest. You choose the niche and nothing else. AI decides your store name and web address, then builds a category tree, a product catalogue and a set of articles tuned to that niche, using real stock photos wherever it can.
You do not even have to bring a niche. Full Auto shows you six suggestions, each with a short reason and ratings for SEO potential, social potential, commissions and how well it should last. If none of them appeal, press Research more niches for a fresh set, or type your own and use Suggest.
Semi-Auto hands you the naming. You pick the niche, the store name and the web address, each with its own Suggest button, and AI builds everything else. Choose this if you already have a brand name in mind or you want a particular web address.
While it builds
It takes about five minutes, and you do not have to sit and watch. Close the page and get on with something else. We will email you and notify you in your account the moment your store is ready.
Then make it yours
Open your new store from your store list. Everything AI decided can be changed: the name, the products, the categories, the articles, the colours, all of it. Nothing is permanent.
Your store also arrives with its own Recommendations page on its dashboard, a short list of what is left before you go live. Work down it from the top.
Delete a store and your plan allowance frees up immediately, so you can create another in its place. If you are unsure about a niche, build it and have a look. That tells you far more than thinking about it does, and it costs you nothing.
