Paystack Storefront for a Small Business

1. Log in to your Paystack dashboard and go to Storefront in the left menu.
2. Set your store name (this becomes your URL slug), add a logo and cover image.
3. Click Add Product: enter the product name, price, a short description, and upload a photo.
4. Set stock quantity if you want Paystack to stop accepting orders when stock runs out.
5. Add delivery options (pickup, fixed shipping fee, or customer arranges delivery).
6. Click Publish. Your store is live at paystack.shop/yourname.

Share your storefront link in your Instagram bio, WhatsApp status, Twitter/X, or anywhere customers will see it. No website, no developer, no monthly hosting cost.

When a customer completes payment, Paystack:

• Emails the customer their order confirmation with a list of items and total paid.
• Notifies you via email (if enabled in notification settings).
• Creates an order entry under Storefront → Orders in your dashboard.

Each order shows the customer name, email, phone, items, and shipping information they provided. You can mark orders as fulfilled once delivered. If you use Zapier or Make, you can automate sending the order details to a Google Sheet, Airtable, or your inventory management system when a new order comes in.

Paystack Storefront works well for up to ~50 products. Consider upgrading when you need:

• Product variants (sizes, colours) — Storefront has limited variant support.
• Discount codes or promotions — not available natively in Storefront.
• Inventory management integrations — connect to WooCommerce or Shopify instead.
• Custom domain — Storefront URLs are paystack.shop/yourname only.

For those needs, WooCommerce with the Paystack plugin or a custom Next.js storefront using the Paystack API is the next step.
