The Site Editor within the Sitebeat Store platform lets you add and manage your Products all in one place, making it easy for you to assign them to a Category, monitor their pricing, and set them on sale — anytime.
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. In that case, you will need to upgrade your current Sitebeat plan or purchase a new Sitebeat eCommerce plan.
