The Store Page is automatically added to your website, along with the Shopping Cart icon, when you enable the Store option on your Sitebeat Editor.
Note: The Store option is only available for the Sitebeat eCommerce plan and will not appear on all other Sitebeat plans. Suppose you want to set up an online store with complete SSL protection as well as easy setup and monitoring of products and orders.

- Log In to access the Sitebeat dashboard.
- Under My Sites, click the Edit Site option on the website that you wish to manage.
- On the Sitebeat Editor, click Store from the left-side menu, and then click Get Started. Wait a few seconds for the Sitebeat Editor to add a Store page and Shopping Cart icon to your website.
Note: If you want to edit a new site, you have to unpublish the current website and make your new site as your primary website.
Under My Sites, click the [...] Ellipsis Icon on the top-right corner of the website to unpublish the current site. Click Unpublish Site, and then click Yes, Unpublish to confirm.
