Online store
Ecommerce store with shipping, local pickup, abandoned checkout and Google Merchant Center.
Why it matters
Sell products and gift items online.
The HLB difference
The store shares customers and payments with the CRM.
How it works
Open an online store with shipping, local pickup and abandoned checkout follow-up.
- Open Sites, then Stores, edit a supported store page and use Live Preview to check products and cart quantities before publishing.
Preview store products and cart interactions
Review the shopping layout with your own products before customers visit.
In the HLB store builder, Live Preview uses available products to let you review variants and supported cart interactions. Custom product details pages still use dummy data. Checkout preview does not support functional checkout fields, real-time shipping rates, taxes or multiple payment methods.

The HLB online store lets you sell from your website, take payments, manage orders and fulfill purchases from one account. Customers browse products, view details, add items to a cart, check out and receive an order confirmation.
For a local service business, a store can sell physical products, digital products or services, and customers can have physical orders shipped or pick them up in person.
To set up your store:
- Create products under Payments, then Products, with descriptions, images, videos, pricing and variants such as size or color, and turn on the toggle to include each one in the store. Only one-time products appear in the store.
- Add a store element in the website builder. This creates five pages: product list, product details, cart, checkout and thank you.
- Connect a domain and a payment provider.
- Turn on Test Mode under Store Settings, then Payment Mode, to place a test order without a real charge.
On product pages, variant choices can show as a compact dropdown or as button-style pills.
Checkout collects customer details, applies eligible coupons, offers fulfillment options and takes card, Apple Pay or Google Pay payments. With Pickup in Store, customers choose an enabled location with its own address, instructions, preparation time, charge and taxes. For digital products, upload up to 10 files of up to 100 MB each on the product variant, and customers get an Access Downloads button in their order confirmation email.
Review orders, transactions and refunds under Payments, mark orders fulfilled and add a tracking number, provider and URL. The Abandoned Checkouts page lets you search, filter and export incomplete checkouts, configure recovery emails and copy a recovery link to send a customer.
