# Configure storefront settings

> Set branding, search, customer contact, domain, and search appearance.

Open **Online store → Store front** to review the published customer-facing store and its settings. Select **Customize storefront** when you want to edit its design.

## Branding and customer features

Review the store name, logo, and other branding shown in the **Branding** section. Check how they appear in the storefront preview after saving. The Store front page also provides controls for the **WhatsApp chat button** and **storefront search**. Turn on only the features you want customers to see, and check their behavior on the public store.

The chat button sends shoppers to your customer contact number. Keep that number current in **WhatsApp store** if you use the WhatsApp channel.

## Domain and search appearance

In the domain and SEO area, review the default store address, custom domain controls, and search-engine information offered for your store. If you add a custom domain, follow the DNS records shown in the dashboard, wait for verification, and then test the address with HTTPS. DNS changes can take time to propagate.

Use the search listing and social sharing previews, where available, to check the title, description, and image people see before opening your store. Review analytics or tracking controls if your store uses them. After changing a domain or search setting, check a public product URL as well as the homepage.

## Before sharing your store

* Confirm the storefront is published and loads in a private browser window.
* Open the menu, search for a product, and try a product page on mobile.
* Confirm contact links and checkout behavior with a test order where appropriate.
