1. Enter a name for your Store. Limit 40 characters, including spaces. This name will be displayed on the 'Shopping' page and on your store header if you do not provide a banner. A store name is required. Enter your choice of store name and check availability with the button. Next enter your location -- ie: 'Hutchinson, Kansas' or 'Canada' or 'Toronto, Ontario' etc. Continue with the rest of the form to create a complete store, clicking the Enter Data button at the bottom of the page when done, or for a quick entry with store name only (finish filling in the rest later) click the Enter Data button in this section.

2. There are three files you may want to use in your store. You will find more details about these, and the process below, in the help file. If you are selecting files to upload, be sure to click the 'Upload Them' button before proceeding on to the next section. If you do not wish to upload any files, but rather use ones already hosted elsewhere, click the 'Use Your Own Host' button and enter the URLs when the page reloads. Replace any default URLs if necessary.

3. If you didn't upload a background image or enter a background URL above, then you may select one of the backgrounds shown below.

4. Select a font for your store. These fonts will work with almost all browsers. If you don't select a font, the default font shown (arial) will be used.

5. Select a text color for your store. This color will be used for text, line borders and dividers. Selecting one that suits your background choice is best. If you do not select a color, indigo will be used.

7. The short description is the text that will appear beside the thumbnail, and underneath your store name, on the 'Shopping' page. Please limit to about 25 words and do not use HTML. (required)

9. Terms sections are for standard shipping, payment and other (returns, refunds, etc.) text that will be included in your listings. Shipping amounts will be provided in each listing -- do not include them here. You can provide as much text as you like.

Please don't use HTML. Press 'Enter' twice for a new paragraph. (optional)

10. Enter names for up to 18 categories below. The category 'Other items' will be available by default so you do not need to enter it. DO NOT use punctuation or other non-text characters in category names! (optional)
