Publishing your store
Open your store to customers and start selling
The launch phase happens in four parts: first you register your own production store, then you add the real payment and shipping settings, after which we migrate the test store's content into production, and finally we switch over the domain.
1. Registering the production store
Once you're happy with the test store, you register your own production store at putiikkipalvelu.fi. We get your company details directly from the test store, so you don't need to fill them in again — just create your account.
2. Payment and shipping settings in production
In the production store, you add the real credentials for:
- Payment methods — Stripe Connect onboarding or Paytrail keys
- Shipping methods — your own shipping options and any shipping integrations
These are always done in the production store, since they require real credentials and live connections with payment providers and shipping partners.
3. Content migration from test to production
Once your payment and shipping settings are in place and you're ready to launch, let us know — we migrate the test store's content (products, categories, settings, and any other changes you've made) into your production store. After that, the test store is no longer needed.
4. Domain and going live
Finally, we connect the production store to its own domain. Two options:
- You already have a domain — tell us which one. We send the DNS values for you to copy at your domain registrar. You can also grant us temporary access to the registrar, in which case we'll make the changes for you
- You need a new domain — we'll help you choose and register one
Once the DNS records are saved and propagated (usually a few minutes to a few hours), your store is open to customers under your domain.
Place a test order after launch
After launch, we recommend placing one test order from your own store to confirm that payments, order confirmation emails, and shipping methods all work as expected in production.
