Creating a Store
Create and configure an individual Storefront store — basic details, branding, contact info, and store-level settings.
Creating a Store
This guide covers creating and configuring a single store. For multi-vendor marketplaces, see Networks.
Creating a Store
Navigate to Storefront in the Fleetbase Console sidebar.
Click New Store.
Enter the Name, Description, and select the Currency used for all product pricing.
Click Save. The store is created and assigned a unique store_* API key automatically.
After creating the store, open it to fill in additional details:
- Timezone — operating hours are evaluated in this timezone
- Logo and Backdrop images for branding
- Contact — website, email, phone
- Social — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter handles
- Tags — freeform tags for filtering
Then add locations, set operating hours, and configure payment gateways.
Selecting the Active Store
If you manage multiple stores, switch between them using the store selector at the top of the Storefront console — every per-store action (creating products, viewing orders, editing settings) operates on the currently active store.
Store Settings
Open a store and scroll to General Settings. All toggles below (except online, order_config_uuid, and pod_method) are stored on the store's options JSON column.
| Setting | Key | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Online | online | Master switch — when off, the store is hidden from listings and cannot accept orders |
| Default Order Config | order_config_uuid | Fleet-Ops order configuration applied to orders created from this store |
| Enable tax | options.tax_enabled | Apply a tax line item to checkouts. When on, set Tax percentage in options.tax_percentage |
| Enable minimum order amount | options.required_checkout_min | Block checkout below a threshold. When on, set the value in options.required_checkout_min_amount |
| Auto-accept incoming orders | options.auto_accept_orders | Skip the manual accept step — incoming orders move straight to the next status |
| Auto-dispatch orders | options.auto_dispatch | Automatically dispatch accepted orders to Fleet-Ops without manual intervention |
| Require proof of delivery | options.require_pod | Drivers must capture POD on completion. Method is set in pod_method (scan, signature, photo, or sms) |
| Enable cash on delivery | options.cod_enabled | Show Cash on Delivery as a payment option at checkout |
| Enable order pickup | options.pickup_enabled | Allow customers to choose pickup instead of delivery |
| Enable tips | options.tips_enabled | Show a tip field at checkout |
| Enable delivery tips | options.delivery_tips_enabled | Allow customers to add a separate tip for the driver after delivery |
Stores also have:
- Alert recipients — under the Alerts panel, select users notified for new orders (
alertable.for_new_order) - Translations — store name and description per locale
To enable multi-store cart or user reviews, the store must belong to a network — those toggles are network-level only. See Networks.
Managing Store Status
To temporarily disable a store without deleting it:
- Open the store
- Toggle Online to off
When offline, the store does not appear in network searches and customers cannot place new orders. Existing orders are unaffected.
Deleting a Store
Open the store in the console and click Delete. Deleting a store removes its catalog — products, categories, variants, and locations. Historical orders are retained for record-keeping. This action cannot be undone.
