The Stores feature lets you create a branded online store where customers can browse products, add items to a cart, and complete purchases — all connected to your Hoop platform product catalog, payment integrations, and order management.
Stores overview

Stores list in Sites

Three ways to create a store

Navigate to Sites > Stores and click + New Store. Choose from a blank canvas or a prebuilt store template, then click Create. This creates a fully standalone e-commerce store.
Inside the website builder, click the + icon to open Add Elements, then find and click Store > + Add to site. This automatically generates the essential store pages (Product List, Product Details, Cart, Checkout, Thank You) while maintaining your website’s existing style.
Drag a Product List element onto any page and click Manage Products. This routes you to Payments > Products to connect your catalog to that specific page without generating a full store.

Setting up a store from scratch

1

Navigate to Sites > Stores

Click Sites in the left sidebar, then select Stores. Click + New Store.
2

Choose a template or start blank

Select a prebuilt store template or start from blank. Click Create. The builder generates the required store pages automatically.
3

Add and manage products

Click the Product List element, then Manage Products. This opens Payments > Products. For each product, toggle Include in online store to add it to your storefront. Fill in the description, pricing, and any variants, then click Save.
4

Customize store pages

Navigate through each auto-generated page — Product List, Product Details, Cart, Checkout, and Thank You — and customize the layout, colors, and content in the builder.
5

Connect a payment integration

Ensure a payment method is connected under Settings > Payment Integrations (e.g. Stripe). The store checkout uses this to process live transactions.
6

Connect a domain and publish

Assign a custom domain in the store’s Settings tab and click Publish when the store is ready to go live.

Order management
