Wigza Store Setup - Opening Hours, Branding, SEO, and Payments

Store Setup Walkthrough: Opening Hours, Branding, SEO, and Payments

1. Review the imported catalogue and published storefront 0:00

• Confirm the product import is complete:
  • Products were added using the import template.
  • Modifiers were configured.
  • Images were uploaded.
  • The storefront has been published.
• This sets the foundation before moving into store management and customer-facing settings.

2. Open Store Management and claim the store 0:32

• Go to Store Management.
• The store has already been claimed, so you can move directly into configuration.
• The walkthrough switches between the admin setup and the live storefront to show how changes affect the customer experience.

3. Set opening hours for delivery and pickup 0:46

• Navigate to Opening Hours.
• Configure delivery hours and pickup hours separately.
• These hours control whether customers can choose delivery or collection in the cart.
• If the store is outside the configured hours, the cart will show that online ordering is closed.
• In the demo, the hours are adjusted so the store becomes available again after saving and refreshing.

4. Enable delivery options and define delivery rules 1:51

• In the delivery settings, confirm the following are enabled:
  • Delivery
  • Pickup
  • Tips
• Set the delivery radius so customers outside the allowed area are blocked or warned.
  • Example shown: 15 km radius.
• Set the estimated time shown to customers.
  • Example shown: 10–15 minutes.
• Configure distance tiers to calculate delivery fees:
  • Example: 0–5 km = free
  • Example: 5–15 km = 25
• These fees are added to the cart automatically.

5. Configure branding and SEO settings 2:58

• Add your primary logo so it appears at the top of the storefront.
• Set the favicon so the browser tab shows your brand icon.
• Choose your primary and secondary colors to match your brand.
  • Example shown: orange primary color and black/gray secondary color.
• Adjust font settings if needed.
• Update SEO fields:
  • Page title
  • Meta description
  • Keywords
• These settings help with branding, search visibility, and how the store appears in browsers and search results.

6. Set social sharing and homepage visuals 4:12

• Add a graph image so shared links display a branded preview image in apps like WhatsApp.
• Optionally add a hero image for the homepage banner.
  • In the demo, the top orange banner would be replaced by this image.
• Review the headline and homepage text.
  • The headline links to the Wigza-related page shown in the demo.
• Promotional banner settings are available but not covered in detail here.

7. Confirm currency and payment setup 5:18

• Leave currency and payments set to the correct local currency.
  • Example shown: South African Rand (ZAR).
• Open payment provider credential details.
• This takes you to the branch settings where payment accounts are configured.
• Use a test account first to verify checkout behavior.
• Once testing is complete, switch to live mode for real payments.
• Supported payment providers mentioned:
  • PayFast
  • AddPay
