Store Basics 101

A store corresponds to an independent subscription-based business. With SubscriptionBridge you can run unlimited subscription-based businesses through the same SubscriptionBridge account.

Adding a Store

To Add a store:

Log into the Merchant Center.
Click on Add New Store to begin.
Step One: Choose a Store Type
For a number of reasons, you cannot convert a Test store into a Live store, and vice versa. You can have unlimited stores in your SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center, so it's a good idea to setup both a Test and a Live store.
- Live Store - A live store can connect to a real payment gateway.
- Test Store - A test store is pre-configured with a demo version of our Early Impact Gateway. It acts and behaves just like a live store.
Step Two: General Store Information
- Store Name
- Store Logo
- Company Website
- Store Email
- Hosted URL
- Company Address
- Time Zone Offset
Step Three: Language & Locale Settings
- Language & Locale - Select the default language for your store. Date, time, and currency formatting will be set automatically.
- Default Currency
- Active Languages
Step Four: Payment System
- Test Gateway - A fictitious payment gateway that allows you to test most features.
- PayPal Express Checkout Sandbox - If you plan to use PayPal Express Checkout with your Live store, simulate the Live environment with the PayPal Sandbox.

Managing a Store

To manage your store find the Store Settings icon on the Merchant Center main menu. The Store Settings page is organized with tabs. Follow the links below to learn about each tab.
