SalesStores are a beautifully visual way to create online merchandise stores for your customers, teams, clubs, businesses, brands, and events.
Unlike a traditional quote or SalesDoc, a SalesStore is designed to provide an ongoing shopping experience where customers can browse products, add items to cart, and complete their own ordering workflow.
One of the biggest advantages of SalesStores is that the customer experience closely matches what you see while building the store. This makes SalesStores very intuitive to create and easy to learn, because you are effectively designing the same experience your customer will receive.
Using this feature requires the SalesStores add-on. Please contact us if you would like access to SalesStores.
When Should You Use a SalesStore?
SalesStores are ideal when you want to create a reusable or ongoing online storefront experience.
Common use cases include:
Company merchandise programs
School or team apparel stores
Club merchandise stores
Event merchandise stores
Staff uniform ordering
Brand stores
Internal company ordering portals
Fundraising stores
SalesStores are designed to remain active and continue accepting orders over time.
⚠️ Important
SalesStores behave differently from SalesPresentations.
When a customer completes the Add to Cart workflow in a SalesStore:
A new SalesDoc is created
The SalesStore remains active
Additional customers can continue placing orders through the same SalesStore
SalesStores also support custom domains such as:
store.yourdomain.com

Understanding the SalesStore Interface
When you create your first SalesStore, your company logo will appear at the top of the document. From there, you can begin adding products and organizing your storefront.
The layout is designed to be simple and visual, with live updates occurring as you make changes.
Add Products
You can add products individually using the Add Product button, or use the Add from SAGE feature if your Hoops account is connected to SAGE.
When you click ⊕ to add a new product to the SalesStore, you will be taken to the Product Detail screen.
This is where you will:
Navigating Back to All Products
When in the Product Detail view, use the back navigation controls to return to the main product grid.
Entering the Toolboxes
The interface changes dynamically depending on what section you are editing. Clicking within different sections of the SalesStore opens context-specific toolboxes and editing options.
Edit Header and Store Details
Click the header area to:
This area controls the overall storefront experience your customer will see.
Live Editing Experience
One of the most powerful parts of SalesStores is the live editing experience.
Any changes you make within the toolboxes instantly update the preview area, allowing you to build polished storefront experiences without needing to switch between edit and preview modes.
This makes it easy to experiment with layouts, branding, product organization, and customer experiences while seeing exactly what your customers will receive.
