  • Login to your WeBidz account.
  • Click the "store" button in the members area.
  • Subscription Setup: Select the enable store option, then choose the store subscription level. Level 1 bronze is a free store subscription. Others have a monthly fee involved, which is listed next to each.
  • Main Settings: Enter your store name, store description (html allowed), and keywords for your store (used for search engine indexing). Find an image for your store, then click the upload file button. The page will refresh with a thumbnail of your logo. Select a design template for your store. Then click the proceed button when your changes are completed.
  • Store Pages: Enter the number of featured, ending soon, and recently listed items you want displayed at the top of your store pages. Enter information for the about us, specials, shipping, and policies pages of your store. Then click the proceed button when your changes are completed.
  • Custom Categories: Create a number of custom categories that will be unique to your store. these categories can only be used for items listed using the "Store Only" option. After you add custom categories, you must click the generate categories button for the changes to take effect. Items listed in auctions will show in your store under the same category as listed for the site. To prevent having a bunch of categories in your store that do not contain items, choose only categories that you will be listing items in. If you don't select any categories for your store, all the site's categories will be available by default. Otherwise you will only be able to list items in the categories you have selected for your store. You can add or remove categories at any time in the future. Click the proceed button when your changes are completed.
  • You can direct buyers to your store by creating links on web pages outside of WeBidz, or put your store link in emails you send to your current customers.
