How To Build and Manage Your Online Store in Tekmatix (Step-by-Step Guide + Real Scenario)

Creating an online store is one of the most effective ways to expand your business, reach new customers, and automate your sales. Tekmatix makes it simple to set up a full e-commerce experience from creating products to fulfilling orders.

This guide breaks the process into clear steps and includes a practical example to help you see how everything works in a real scenario.

What Is an Online Store?

An online store is a digital storefront where customers can browse, select, and purchase products or services from any device. Unlike a physical shop, an online store operates 24/7 and allows you to sell globally with ease.

Why Your Online Store Matters

1. Global Reach

Your products can be accessed by customers around the world.

2. Convenience for Shoppers

Customers can buy anytime, without waiting for business hours.

3. Lower Operating Costs

Online shops eliminate the need for physical overhead, saving money.

4. Automated Sales

Checkout, payment processing, and order confirmations run automatically.

Step-by-Step: How to Build Your Tekmatix Online Store

Step 1: Create and Configure Your Products

Navigate to Payments → Products to begin adding items to your store.

You can set up:

• Product names and descriptions

• Rich text formatting (lists, bold, italics, alignment, tables)

• Multiple images and videos

• Product pricing

• Variant options (size, color, material, etc.)

Be sure to turn on the Show in Online Store toggle to make each product visible to customers.

Additional Product Features

• Rich text descriptions automatically appear on the product detail page.

• You can upload multiple images or videos for visual impact.

• Variants allow customers to choose options with customized pricing.
  

Step 2: Activate and Customize Your Online Store on Your Website

You can add an online store to an existing Tekmatix website or build a new one.

Inside the website builder, click the + icon and add the Online Store element.

Tekmatix automatically generates five essential store pages:

1. Products List Page – Displays all available products.

2. Product Details Page – Shows full descriptions, images, videos, and variants.

3. Cart Page – Summarizes items before checkout.

4. Checkout Page – Collects customer information and processes payments.

5. Thank You Page – Displays order confirmation after checkout.

All elements can be customized using General and Advanced settings to match your website’s brand style.

Step 3: Track Orders and Payments

Use these sections to manage your store activity:

• Payments → Orders – View all incoming orders

  

• Payments → Transactions – Review payments received and issue refunds
  

  

Refunds can be processed directly inside the Transactions panel.

Step 4: Fulfill Orders and Share Shipment Information

Each new order begins in the Unfulfilled state.

You can:

• Mark the order as Fulfilled

• Add tracking numbers

• Select a shipping provider

• Add a tracking URL
  

Tracking information is stored in the order details and can be sent to customers automatically.

Additional Notes

• Only one-time products appear in the online store. Recurring items can still be sold via funnels and order forms.

• You choose which products appear by toggling them on individually.

• Orders and payments are found under Payments → Orders/Transactions.

• FAQ content on any store page can be edited by clicking the FAQ element inside the page builder.

• Multiple stores can be created within the same location.

• Stores can be created only inside websites, not funnels.
