Guide to setting up your Storeroom

Once you have signed up for an account, you will be able to sell items through your very own Storeroom on The Cupboard. In order to begin creating your Storeroom, you will have to click on the My Storeroom link located in My Cupboard.

Subscription Setup

In order to operate a Storeroom on The Cupboard you must choose a subscription and enable your Storeroom.
There are a varitey of different sized Storerooms to choose from. Select the most appropriate size for your needs, check the Enable Storeroom button and proceed.

Once you have paid your subscription fee your Storeroom will be enabled and you will be able to add items to it using the "Sell" link. To add your items to your Storeroom simply check the "Shop" option on the first page. No listing fees will apply to your item if you are adding it to your Storeroom only. However, if you wish to list it on the main site as well as in your Storeroom, normal listing fees will apply.

The Storeroom subscriptions all have to be renewed every 30 days (which means you have to pay your subscription fee every 30 days for as long as you wish to operate your Storeroom).

This is the list of Storerooms currently available:

Some of the Storerooms are Featured Storerooms this means that they will be featured at the top of the Storerooms page.

The Storeroom Subscription Setup page also displays the date you last paid your subscription and the date your next subscription is due. It also displays the amount of items you have in your Storeroom and the amount of items you are still able to list.

Main Settings

The next page we visit is the Main Settings page. Here you can begin to configure your Storeroom.

Storeroom Name - This will be the title of your Storeroom.

Storeroom Description - This will be the description of your Storeroom. It will be visible in on the Storerooms page and also at the top of your Storeroom beneath your logo.

Storeroom Meta Keywords - This is an optional field in which you can choose to enter keywords for your Storeroom. Keywords can help members find certain items when they use the advanced search function on The Cupboard. If your Storeroom sells a range of items that fall under a specific category such as Toys, you may wish to add that as a keyword for your Storeroom.

Choose Storeroom Logo - You may upload a logo for your Storeroom which will appear at the top of all of your Storeroom pages.

Select a Design - You may choose how your Storeroom will look using one of the built in Storeroom templates.

Storeroom Pages

Here you can continue to configure your Storeroom. You may choose to have featured items in your store just like on the main site, you can write an "About this Storeroom" piece. You can also add any company policies and shipping information. The built in text editors on this page make it very simple to add styles and links to your text.

Custom Categories

Here you are able to choose which categories will appear in your Storeroom. You can also use the form to add custom categories of your own. Note: Customised categories can only be used for items listed using the "Shop" option and not for items listed on both the main site and your Storeroom..

If you do not choose any categories for your Storeroom 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 Storeroom.

Once you have configured your Storeroom, enabled it and paid your subscription fee you will be able to begin adding your items! Congratulations, you now know how to set up your Storeroom! Good luck!
