Settings | Store Details

The Store settings section in Orbit Commerce allows you to manage the core details of your store, including how order numbers are generated, your store's timezone, and your store name, contact, and business address.

From here you can configure your order numbering format, set the timezone used for order timestamps and reporting, and keep your store information up to date.

Accessing Store settings

To access Store settings:

• From the left-hand menu, go to Settings.

• Select Store.

The Store settings page will open, showing the General tab.

The tabbed layout

The Store settings page is organised into several tabs, so you can find and update each group of settings in one place:

• General — order numbering, timezone, and measurement units for your store.

• Store Information — your store name, contact details, and business address.

• Payment Settings — the payment options available at checkout.

• Shipping Settings — how shipping is calculated and charged.

• Tax Settings — how tax is applied to orders.

Select a tab to view and edit the settings within it.

The General tab

The General tab is where you control how orders are numbered and the timezone and units your store uses.

Under Order Numbering, you can configure how order numbers are generated for your store:

• Format — choose how order numbers are built, for example Sequential (1001, 1002, 1003…).

• Prefix — text added to the start of every order number, such as ORD-.

• Suffix — text added to the end of every order number, such as -US.

• Next Order Number — the number the next order created will use. This only applies to new orders.

• Preview — a live example showing how your next order number will appear, based on the format, prefix, and suffix you have set.

Under Timezone, set your store's timezone using the Store Timezone field. This timezone is used for order timestamps and reporting, so choosing the correct one keeps your records accurate.

The General tab also lets you set the measurement units your store uses, so weights and dimensions are shown consistently across your products and orders.

The Store Information tab

The Store Information tab is where you update your store details and contact information.

Under Basic Information, you can manage:

• Store Name — the name of your store, used throughout Orbit Commerce and shown to your customers.

• Store Description — a short description of your store.

• Store Domain — your store's subdomain and any custom domains, managed in Domain settings.

• Store Logo — the logo displayed in the header of your store. The recommended size is 512x512px in PNG, JPG, or SVG format.

• Store Favicon — the small icon shown in the browser tab. The recommended size is 32x32px or 64x64px.

This tab is also where you keep your contact details and business address up to date, so the correct information appears on your store and in your communications with customers.

Saving your changes

Once you have updated your settings on a tab, save your changes to apply them. Each tab is saved separately, so remember to save before moving on to another tab.

Why store details are important

Keeping your store details accurate ensures your orders are numbered consistently, your timestamps and reports use the correct timezone, and your customers see the right store name, logo, and contact information.

By keeping your Store settings up to date, you can:

• Generate clear, consistent order numbers

• Record accurate order timestamps and reporting

• Present a professional store name and branding to customers

• Keep your contact and business address details correct
