Creating a New Customer and Store

Written by Kyle Sawyer

Overview

This article walks you through creating a new customer in GelatoConnect, enabling their storefront, and inviting the first admin user. By the end, your customer will have a live storefront with a login page ready for use.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in to GelatoConnect as a PSP admin user

Step 1: Create the customer

  1. Navigate to the Customers section in the left-hand menu.

  2. Click Create Customer.

  3. Enter a name for the customer (e.g. “Accme Corp”) and click Create Customer to confirm.

Step 2: Enable storefronts and invite an admin

  1. From the customer list, find your new customer and click Edit Customer.

  2. Enable the Storefronts toggle for this customer.

  3. In the invite section, enter the admin user’s email address, first name, and last name.

  4. Click Add Admin. The invited user will receive an email invitation.

Tip: The invited admin user will manage the storefront on behalf of the customer. They can add products, manage orders, and invite additional users.

Step 3: Set up the storefront

  1. Go to storefronts.gelato.com.

  2. Click on Stores in the left-hand menu.

  3. Click GelatoConnect Storefront.

  4. Select the customer you just created from the dropdown.

  5. The store will be created automatically.

Step 4: Access the store

Once the store has been created, you have two options:

  • Go to Store — opens the customer-facing storefront with its login page.

  • Go to Admin Panel — opens the admin interface where you can manage products, pages, users, and settings.

Now that your store is set up, the next step is to add products. See: How to Add a Product to Your Storefront.
