If you choose to go live without your store products added, no problem, select publish without store. This means people will be able to see your website's pages (or storefront), but they won't be able to shop for your products or purchase. Alternatively, you can select set up store now if you would instead set up your store for selling before you go live.

  1. If you've decided to publish your website without a store, you'll next be prompted to name your site. Keep in mind that this is just a name that helps give your website an alternate URL for viewing online.
