How to Open a store?

 Store is a virtual shop and a storage space for your products on Joom.

What is the difference between a Store and an Account?

Merchants have no limits for opening new stores. As for platform accounts, each merchant allowed to have only one account on Joom. 

What Is a Store Specialisation?

Store specialisation determined by uploaded products. Products can be classified by:

• Product category: a store that sells clothes or a store that sells electronic devices and accessories, such as smartphones, earphones, cases, and power banks.  
• Product style: a store that sells retro-style products, such as clothes or tableware.
• Brand: a store that sells products from a single brand. 

 How to set up a Store? 

Go to the Stores page and click on "Open New Store" button.

1. Enter a store name.

• Should reflected the product category and style.

• Store names must be in Latin (for merchants in South Korea);

• Merchants cannot names of famous cross-border platforms or words associated with these platforms to name a store, such as “Amazon,” “Ali,” “AliExpress,” etc.
