What is Flutterwave Store?
Flutterwave store is undoubtedly the easiest way to create and launch an online store as a busy, non-techie entrepreneur, you don’t need to create a website from scratch or know how to code to own a Flutterwave store. You can manage your inventory and accept payments from your customers online.
Managing your Flutterwave store is quite easy, as it allows you to upload products, set prices, and (for some businesses) have Flutterwave integrated delivery partners pick up when you have an order and deliver to your customers if you like.
Flutterwave store was designed to bring online, those businesses that are offline with minimal hassles, hence the simplicity of the interface,
The Store was conceived as part of Flutterwave’s resolve to help businesses to #KeepTheLightsOn during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Also with the integration of a delivery option, the store ensures that business owners operate effectively during, and even after the pandemic, you don’t have to move an inch from your business location to transact with your customers anymore, quite interesting and innovative if you ask me.
So now, the big question…
How Do I Setup?
First, you need a Flutterwave account to create and manage your online store, if you don’t have one CLICK HERE to register for an account ASAP…(link opens in a new tab).
Once you register for an account and sign in, you will see a bunch of vertical menus on the left of the dashboard, click on “store” from the list.
Now once the store page loads up, click on the yellow ‘Setup my store’ button which is you can find in the middle 🙂
You can edit your store name to something else if you don’t want to use your business name that is auto-filled by the system. Enter your store description, you can edit your store URL or link if you feel it’s necessary. I recommend that you use a short, simple, and easy to remember kind of name. So once that’s done, click ‘Complete Setup’. Your store link will then be generated and displayed on the dashboard. Easy abi? 🙂

To add products to the store, click on ‘Add product’, Fill in your product details, and when that is done, your product(s) will be displayed on the dashboard. Click on the store link to access your store URL or copy it to send to your customers. (Your store page will display all the products listed
online).
