Six things to get ready before you open an online store
Opening the store takes minutes. Having your photos, payments, eBarimt and delivery ready beforehand is what lets the first orders go through smoothly.
Most trouble comes not when a store opens but in its first week: product photos are missing, nobody is sure where the money lands, delivery prices are unclear. Get these six things ready and your first orders will go through smoothly.
Name and address
Pick a store name that is short and easy to type in Latin letters. On Meridian the name becomes your-store.meridian.mn at once. If you have your own domain, it can be connected later.
Product photos, prices and stock
Every product needs a clear photo, a price and a stock count. With many products, bring them in at once from a Shopify export or a CSV file. AI helps remove photo backgrounds and write alt text.
The account that takes payments
Connect QPay or your bank account. Payments go straight to your own account, so decide beforehand which one to use.
eBarimt
Every order gets an eBarimt in your company’s name, automatically. Have your company’s registration details at hand.
Delivery
Decide where you deliver, for how much and in how many days. Set your delivery zones by city, district and khoroo, and choose Papa, UBCab or your own couriers.
Returns policy and contact details
Put your returns policy, phone number and opening hours where shoppers can see them. The answer should be visible before the customer asks.
If you sell on Facebook and Instagram
Connect your page and the AI answers incoming messages, suggests products, sends a QPay link and closes the order inside the chat. Every conversation shows in your dashboard, so you can take over whenever you like.
Look at the themes first
Each of the seven ready themes has its own demo store: Earth, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Mars and Art. Open them before you sign up and pick the one that suits your products.
