# What is the NijeesWeb online store builder?

> How the store builder works in one page — your account, your store, its admin panel, and how products, payments, shipping and orders fit together.

**The NijeesWeb online store builder lets you open a complete online shop without writing code.** You choose a plan, and a ready-made store is created for you on your own domain — with products, a cart, checkout, payments, GST invoices, shipping and returns already built in. You then replace the sample products with your own and switch on the payment methods you want.

The store builder runs at **www.nijees.in**. It is a separate product from the NijeesWeb [website builder](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website), with its own account, plans and admin panel.

## The two places you sign in

| | Your **store account** | Your **store's admin panel** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Address | `www.nijees.in/account` | `yourdomain/login` |
| What it is for | Buying a plan, paying, renewing, upgrading, adding more stores | Running your store: products, orders, payments, design |
| Who signs in | You, the owner | You and anyone you create an admin login for |
| Created when | You sign up | You set up a store (each store has its own admin logins) |

One account can own several stores. Each store has its **own** admin panel, its own products and orders, and its own domain.

> [!TIP]
> Bookmark both addresses. The account is where you pay; the admin panel is where you work every day.

## What a store is made of

Everything you manage in the admin panel falls into a few groups:

- **Catalogue** — products, each with one or more **variants** (such as sizes or colours) that carry their own price, stock and weight. Products sit in **categories**, and optionally under **brands**.
- **Payments** — the ways customers pay: cash on delivery, bank transfer, or an online gateway such as Razorpay, PhonePe, Cashfree, PayU, CCAvenue, Paytm, Stripe or PayPal. You add the ones you want and switch them on.
- **Shipping and GST** — the pincodes you deliver to, what delivery costs (by weight, or live rates from Shiprocket), free-shipping rules and GST rates.
- **Orders** — every order with its status, invoice, delivery challan and shipping label; plus cancellations, returns, exchanges and refunds.
- **Storefront** — the pages customers see (home, about, category and product pages), built in a drag-and-drop page builder, with your theme, header, menus and footer.
- **Marketing** — coupons, banners, a blog, galleries, testimonials, FAQs and forms.
- **Settings** — business details, logo, notification email, WhatsApp button, cookie bar, spam protection and languages.

## What the platform does for you

- **Hosting and security** — your store runs in Mumbai over HTTPS, with a free SSL certificate.
- **Checkout** — cart, saved addresses, coupons, guest checkout and customer accounts are built in.
- **GST paperwork** — tax invoices with CGST/SGST or IGST worked out from the delivery state, delivery challans and shipping labels, numbered per financial year.
- **Speed and search** — pages are sent as complete HTML that search engines and AI assistants can read, and uploaded photos are converted to WebP.

## What you need before you start

1. **A domain name** — such as `yourbrand.in` — or use a free address on `nijees.in` to begin with.
2. **A way to pay for your plan** — UPI, a debit or credit card, or net banking.
3. **Your catalogue** — product names, photos, prices and stock. Every new store starts with sample fashion products you can edit or delete.
4. **A payment gateway account** if you want to take online payments (Razorpay, PhonePe and so on). Cash on delivery needs nothing.
