Open and close a store
Preview a store, open it for orders, share its address, set the order deadline, and close it to make the batch final.
A store starts as a Draft that only your team can see. Open it to take orders, and close it when the ordering window is over.
Owners, admins and staff can open and close stores.

Share the address
On the Overview tab, Store address shows the link. Click Copy address and send it to the organizer, or post it where shoppers will see it. Click Visit store to open it.
Each store has its own address on SKUFlow. To use your own domain instead, see Use your own domain.
Order deadline
Set the Opens date and Order deadline on the Settings tab, under General. Orders are taken through the end of the deadline day. Shoppers see how many days are left, and "Last day to order" on the final day. After the deadline the store shows Deadline passed and takes no more orders.
Leave the dates empty to keep the store open until you close it.
Close it
Click Close store. The store stops taking orders, shoppers see "This store is closed", and the Batch becomes final. See Make the production batch.
