How it works

Your store, step by step

What setting up a Build Brighten store involves, including what you need to have ready.

  1. Step 1: Register

    Create your account with your email and a password, or with Google. If we ask you to confirm your email, open the link on the same device.

    Create your account →
  2. Step 2: Enter your business details

    Add your business name and category, then choose your store's web address, such as yourstore.buildbrighten.in. The address must be unique and some names are reserved.

  3. Step 3: Select a theme

    Choose a design suited to your category. It's saved as a draft, so you can change it any time before or after you publish.

    Browse themes →
  4. Step 4: Add products

    Add products with photos, prices, variants such as size or colour, and stock. Larger catalogues can be imported from a CSV file.

  5. Step 5: Configure payments and shipping

    Turn on cash on delivery, or connect your own Razorpay, Cashfree or PayU account for online payments. Then set your shipping rates and PIN code rules, or connect a courier such as Delhivery.

    Before you start: Online payments need your own account with a payment provider, and customers can't pay online until it's connected. Cash on delivery needs no provider account.

  6. Step 6: Connect a custom domain (optional)

    On plans that include custom domains, add your domain in Settings → Domains and create the DNS records shown there. HTTPS is set up automatically once the domain is verified.

    Before you start: You need to own the domain and be able to edit its DNS records. DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to spread.

  7. Step 7: Preview and publish

    Preview your store on desktop and mobile. When everything looks right, publish it from your dashboard. Until then, visitors see a ‘coming soon’ page.
