Go from the sample shop to a live one

Updated 30 Aug 2026

The sample shop is for clicking around. Real customers should see your goods, your bank details, and a public page — not demo shirts and a password gate you forgot was on.

Work through Onboarding or the checklist yourself: products, location, shipping, payment, theme, then Storefront password off when you are ready to share.

Who this is for

New shops leaving sample mode, and existing shops that still have a password or placeholder catalogue.

What DenoShop does here

  • Sample catalogue and rates so you can learn the Admin.
  • Onboarding steps under Admin → Onboarding.
  • Storefront password under Settings → Storefront (Save required).
  • Your-shop.deno.my link ready to share when the gate is off.

How to go live

  1. Replace sample products. Admin → Catalogue → Products. Your photos, prices, and stock. Remove what you do not sell.
  2. Put your business on the paperwork. Admin → Settings → General. Shop name and business details for invoices.
  3. Confirm location, shipping, and payment. Real address. At least one shipping rate. At least one active payment method with clear instructions if manual.
  4. Publish your look. Admin → Theme. Logo and colours. Publish theme.
  5. Open the storefront. Admin → Settings → Storefront. If Enable storefront password is on, turn it off and Save. Admin login does not unlock the password page for shoppers.
  6. Place one full test order as a customer, then share your-shop.deno.my.

When samples are gone and the password is off, this is what you share.

Sample products and rates are for learning — not a promise they are ready for real sales. Review every line before you post the link.
