Setting Up Your First Crypto Store

Creating an online store that accepts cryptocurrency has never been easier. This guide walks you through setting up your first Taberna store, from creating your account to processing your first crypto payment.

What You Will Need

Before starting, make sure you have: a crypto wallet (like Phantom for Solana or MetaMask for EVM chains), product information (titles, descriptions, prices, images), and optionally a custom domain if you want your own branded URL.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit the Taberna dashboard and sign up with your email or connect directly with your wallet. Once logged in, you will see your dashboard where you can manage your store, products, and payments.

Step 2: Set Up Your Store Profile

Navigate to Store Settings to customize your store. Add your store name, description, and logo. These appear on your storefront and checkout pages. A professional-looking store builds trust with customers.

Step 3: Connect Your Payment Wallet

Go to Payment Settings and connect the wallet where you want to receive funds. Choose which blockchains to enable based on where your customers hold crypto. You can accept payments on multiple chains simultaneously.

Step 4: Configure Auto-Convert (Optional)

If you want to avoid crypto price volatility, enable auto-convert. This automatically converts incoming payments to USDC or USDT. Your revenue stays stable regardless of market movements.

Step 5: Add Your First Product

Click Add Product in your dashboard. Enter the product title, description, price, and upload images. For digital products, upload the file that customers will receive after purchase. Set stock limits if applicable.

Step 6: Customize Your Storefront

Your storefront is where customers browse and purchase your products. Customize colors, fonts, and layout to match your brand. Preview changes before publishing.

Step 7: Test Your Checkout

Before going live, test the checkout flow yourself. Create a test order to ensure the payment flow works correctly and you receive the expected notifications.

Step 8: Launch and Promote

Once everything looks good, share your store URL with your audience. Post on social media, add the link to your bio, and tell your community they can now pay with crypto.
