If you plan to set up an online store but are not ready to upgrade to the Sitebeat eCommerce platform, that is understandable. You can try it out for 15 days, then upgrade later.

The Sitebeat eCommerce Free Trial is an option available to those with a Sitebeat Free Account. This means that you will need to sign up for a Sitebeat free account first, then activate your eCommerce 15-day free trial after.

Sign up for Sitebeat Free

The Sitebeat Free plan is Sitebeat's free version, which lets you create a website for free and publish it live on a free .sitebeat.site subdomain. As long as it's active, it never expires. Learn more about the Sitebeat Free plan for further details.

Activate eCommerce Trial

Follow the steps below to get an eCommerce free trial for 15 days:

1. In the Overview section of My Sites, click ACTIVATE, which corresponds to eCommerce.
2. When the successful activation for the eCommerce trial message appears, you can either click TRY IT NOW or click RETURN TO DASHBOARD.

Note: After 15 days, you will no longer have access to the eCommerce free trial, but your online store will still be in the system for the next seven days. If you can upgrade within this period, you can continue developing the store you started during the free trial by contacting Sitebeat Support.
