How to build your shop but not have it live for all to see.


Recommended Posts

Ok I am veryyyyy new to all this, I downloaded and installed Prestashop successfully as soon as I finished the install I could see Prestashop online through my purchased domain name so basically it was live with prestashops theme for ipods ect, I didnt think anything of it until 5 mins into customizing my spangly new site through the back end, when I noticed some one had purchased an item from France this was one of the theme items from the prestashop's basic site they added to cart I am guessing and procceded to checkout they added payment by cheque so thankfully they didnt pay through paypal, I kind of panicked thinking I would get loads of people starting to try and buy these ipods and mobiles that I didnt even have so I removed the installation so the site went down.

Can I not install it but it doesnt show live until I am ready? if so how do I do that?.

Hello sharky980

 

Welcome to Prestashop.... Please go to preferences in your back office and disable your shop.

 

:) well at least you got the site prepped for selling

 

Happy selling and good luck with building your site. If there is any other questions please feel free to ask

I've tried doing that as well but it doesn't change the look of the front page. I was expecting it to have a different look, like "Under Construction". Also, the maintnance IP address didn't seem to work either.

 

Can you share your URL here so that some one else can check if the maintenance mode is working or not.

\If you have added your IP address, you will never see the maintenance. Please try to clear "Maintenance IP" and click save.

 

 

 

usually by default, you should only see your store LOGO and following message by default.

 

In order to perform site maintenance, our online shop has shut down temporarily. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you please try again later.
