Preference settings

Genstore offers comprehensive online store preference settings that allow merchants to easily edit their store title and meta description, add tracking codes, and enable password protection for enhanced security and personalized experiences.

Edit homepage title and meta description

The homepage title and description are crucial for an e-commerce website, especially for search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience. Optimizing these elements can help your site rank better in search engines and improve visitors’ understanding of your website.

Steps

1. Click Online Store -> Preferences.
2. Fill in the relevant content under Title and meta description.
3. Click Save.

Password protection

Genstore offers password protection feature. When this feature is active, visitors see a login page and must enter the correct password to access your store. This is especially useful if you want to offer early access to selected customers before your store goes live.

When to use

Use password protection during holidays, site maintenance, or pre-launch periods when you want to temporarily limit public access to your store.

How to manage password protection

Change the store access password

1. Go to Online Store -> Preferences.
2. In the Restrict store access section, check Access restricted: Only visitors with a password can access.
3. Enter a password and share it with your intended visitors.

Turn off password protection

You can turn off password protection at any time.

1. Go to Online Store -> Preferences.
2. In the Restrict store access section, uncheck Access restricted: Only visitors with a password can access.
3. Click Save.

"Made with Genstore" branding badge

In Preferences, you can also choose whether to display the “Made with Genstore” brand attribution in your store footer. With a paid subscription, you can remove it to highlight your own brand. For detailed steps, see Remove brand attribution.
