How to change business type and add domain

erincaketopper — Fri, 22 May 2020 00:09:37 GMT

Been trying for the last hour to do these things on my own with no luck. Stayed on the phone with Square for 40 minutes and no one answered.

I sell custom cake toppers. When I go to design my online store, it is set up like a restaurant with all food categories. I don't know what "type" or "theme" I should have chosen but it's definitely not "restaurants" or "food". How do you change this to the correct type of business to make building my online store easier??

I purchased a domain name with this website. I want to attach it to the store so I can easily say "Visit my website www.customcakedecor.com". When I tried connecting it before it wants me to pay for a membership. Idk why that's happening. How else will people find my online store if I don't have a domain name? Can someone clear this up, please?

@erincaketopper - thanks for posting.

Yes, you're right - to use a custom domain, you'll need to upgrade your Weebly site to a Professional or higher paid tier. Compare plans and pricing here.

Well, that's pretty frustrating. It prompted me to make a domain name. I did it thinking it was part of the "membership" with Square. I've been calling them every day for 3 days now and no one answers the phone. I still don't have an answer for changing my online store's theme.

There is one other template you can change your site to - sorry there aren't many options to choose from. This best answer on this thread shows you how. Check out the best answer.
