Create your first online shop

Making the shop takes a few minutes, and you publish when you’re ready. Nothing is visible to others until you do.

You need: a Vibbs account. If you don’t have one, choose Create your shop on the front page.

1. Pick a template

1. Choose New website on the dashboard.
2. You see every template, each with its real home page. To see only the shops, choose Online shop at the top right.
3. Pick the template closest to what you have in mind. Templates come with ready-made pages and sample products.

The template opens in a preview. Click the pages above the preview to see them, and choose Phone to see how the shop looks on a phone.

Tip: Nothing is saved until you create the website. Look at as many templates as you like.

2. Name the shop, choose its look and language

1. Type the name in Website name. It shows in the header and footer of every page, in the preview too.
2. Choose a Look if you want other colours and fonts than the template's. The preview shows it at once.
3. Choose the Language of the website. Pages, sample products and the texts customers see start in this language. You can change it later under Settings → Language.
4. Choose Create the website.

The builder opens, and Set up your shop opens the first time.

3. Set up the shop

Set up your shop walks you through what a Norwegian online shop needs, one step at a time:

1. Your business: organisation number, address and email. The rest can be filled in from the Brønnøysund Register Centre.
2. Name and colours
3. Payments: connect at least one payment method, for example Vipps.
4. Shipping
5. Products: add them one by one, or import them.
6. Terms and privacy: Vibbs can write these pages for you from your business details.
7. Accounting (optional)
8. Domain (optional)
9. Publish

Steps you skip wait for later. Reopen the guide with Set up your shop at the bottom of the builder’s left column.

Important: Customers can’t order until Your business and Payments are done. The law requires customers to see who they’re buying from, and an order has to be payable.

4. Remove the sample products

The template’s products can be bought until you remove them. Under Products in the setup you can see how many are left.

5. Publish

Choose Publish the shop in the setup, or Publish site at the bottom of the builder. The shop is then visible to everyone at its Vibbs address, or on your own domain if you’ve connected one.

Next steps

• Place a test order: buy something cheap yourself, check the order confirmation email, and refund the order from the order page.
• Get to know the builder.
