Experience Genstore with a free 7-day trial
Before choosing a paid plan, you can sign up for a free trial to explore Genstore’s features and user experience. A 7-day free trial will automatically begin once your store is created.
Plans you can try
Your free trial gives you access to all core features in the following plans:
How to start your trial
- Go to the Genstore signup page, enter your email and password, then click Sign up.
- Upload product images or select your business category.
- Review your store settings, including country, language, industry, and store name. You can edit any of these.
- After confirming, the design agent will automatically create your store. You can click Design store to customize your layout and branding.
Set up your store during the trial
- Your store will be password protected by default. Customers can place $0 orders or use any manual payment methods you’ve added.
- To allow real purchases, share your store password (the first 5 daily visitors can access without one) or activate full checkout by choosing a paid plan.
- When you upgrade, everything you built during the trial will be saved.
Make the most of your free trial
To get started fast and maximize your trial experience, we recommend:
- Adding products: Upload your products with clear descriptions, pricing, and images.
- Reviewing key settings: Set up currency, language, taxes, and shipping rates.
- Exploring themes and apps: Visit the Theme Store and App Store to customize your store’s look and expand its functionality.
Switch plans anytime during your trial
You can switch between plans during your 7-day trial. The new plan will apply right away, and no payment is needed until the trial ends.
When your trial ends
If you haven’t selected a paid plan by the end of your trial, your store will be paused. You can resume it anytime by upgrading.
Store feature limitations during the free trial
During the 7-day free trial, you can explore Genstore's core features. However, to ensure fair use of platform resources, certain functions are limited while your store is in trial:
Merchant admin limitations
- Payment settings: You cannot add, modify, or activate Genstore Payments or third-party payment gateways. Only manual payment methods are available during the trial.
- Marketing modules:
- Email sending is limited to 20 emails in total (including marketing and test emails).
- Marketing automation (MA) workflows can be created but not activated.
- Apps: Free to install. To subscribe to the app’s paid version, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid Genstore plan first.
Customer-facing limitations
- Store access: Trial stores are password-protected by default. Visitors must enter a password to access the storefront. The first 5 visitor IPs per day can bypass the password requirement.
- Checkout restrictions: Customers can only place $0 orders or use manually configured payment methods. Genstore Payments and third-party gateways are not available during the trial.
To fully unlock Genstore's features and launch your online store, we recommend upgrading to a paid plan.
