What is a Store?

Stores on Joom are a virtual storage for representing and managing products on our Platform.

This is how your store is seen by customers:

What is the Difference Between a Store and an Account?

It is allowed to have only one account on the platform. A merchant that creates several accounts or uses related accounts is violating platform rules and will be punished accordingly. Please refer to the article Platform Rule Violation and Penalty for more details.

Quantity of Stores and Products

The default maximum number of stores is 1.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: If at least one of your stores gets blocked by Joom, you will not be able to open another store within the following 6 months. 

The default maximum number of products in one store is 500 (including active and disabled products). If the number of product exceeds the limit within one store, you can delete them or transfer to another store.

The product limit will be increased automatically following the progress in your sales and performance status. It depends on three indicators: store’s performance status, GMV for the last 4 weeks and GMV per week. To learn more about the requirements for increasing the product limit please refer to the article Product Limit.

How to Disable/Enable a Store?

You can disable/enable a store by switching the toggle in the merchant panel on the Stores page.

Once the store is disabled, all products in this store will be disabled after a few minutes.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE:

• If there are any unfulfilled orders, you have to fulfil them even if the store has been disabled.
