This guide walks you through everything you need to properly set up your Owode store.
Before You Start
Before setting up your store, make sure you already have:
- an Owode account
- an approved seller profile
- products ready to list
If you have not become a seller yet, start here
Step 1 — Open Store Settings
Go to your Store Manager dashboard
Then:
- click Settings
- open the Store tab
This is where you configure your store information.
Step 2 — Add Your Store Name
Your store name is how buyers identify your business.
Choose a name that is:
- simple
- easy to remember
- related to what you sell
- trustworthy
Good examples:
- Mayfair Fashion Hub
- Tolu Beauty Store
- Ife Handmade Crafts
Avoid:
- random characters
- spammy wording
- excessive emojis
- names that look fake
Bad examples:
- CHEAPEST STORE EVER!!!
- BUY NOW FAST FAST
- ORIGINAL STORE 100000%
Step 3 — Upload Your Store Logo
Your logo helps buyers recognize your store quickly.
Recommended:
- square image
- clean background
- readable on mobile
- simple branding
You can use:
- your business logo
- a clean text logo
- a professional brand image
Avoid:
- blurry images
- screenshots
- crowded graphics
- unrelated photos
Step 4 — Upload a Store Banner
Your banner gives your store a more professional appearance.
Good banners usually include:
- your products
- your brand colors
- simple messaging
Examples:
- fashion products display
- beauty products layout
- handmade product showcase
Keep it clean and easy to understand.
Step 5 — Write Your Store Description
Your store description tells buyers:
- what you sell
- who you sell to
- why they should trust your store
Good descriptions are:
- clear
- short
- human
- specific
Example:
We sell affordable fashion accessories and casual wears for students and young professionals. Orders are processed quickly and delivered within selected locations.
Avoid:
- overhyping
- long unnecessary stories
- fake claims
- excessive capitalization

Make sure your contact information is accurate.
This may include:
- email address
- phone number
- support contact
Correct contact information helps:
- buyers reach you
- delivery coordination
- customer communication
Always use active contact details.
Step 7 — Set Up Payout Information
Your payout settings determine how you receive earnings from your sales.
Carefully provide:
- account name
- bank name
- account number
Double-check everything before saving.
Incorrect payout details may delay withdrawals or payouts.

Step 8 — Configure Shipping & Delivery
If you sell physical products, you need to configure delivery settings properly.
Owode currently uses:
Seller-Managed Delivery (SMD)
This means sellers handle delivery themselves.
You need to:
- enable shipping
- define delivery states/zones
- set delivery fees
- define delivery areas
Without shipping setup:
buyers may not be able to purchase your products.
Step 9 — Improve Store Visibility
A complete store is easier for buyers to trust and discover.
To improve visibility:
- upload proper images
- write clear descriptions
- add products consistently
- configure delivery properly
- keep your store active
Stores with incomplete setup may perform poorly in buyer trust and conversions.
Step 10 — Add Your Products
Once your store is properly configured:
- start listing products
- organize categories properly
- use clear product titles
- upload quality images
