FastStore WebOps app
This document provides an overview of the FastStore WebOps app, a tool designed to simplify the process of setting up a store and gives you a clear view of your website's deployments and performance. The app allows you to focus on building your storefront without the hassle of complex configurations.
Before you begin
Install the FastStore WebOps app
Make sure you have installed the FastStore WebOps app to your store account by following the instructions in Install the FastStore WebOps app.
Create your store Catalog
Create a Catalog for populating and testing your store with features like product listing pages, search functionality, product detail pages, and checkout. Without a Catalog, testing would be incomplete, and developing without it can cause data integration issues, delays, and extra retrofitting effort.
For more information on how to create a Catalog, refer to the Catalog documentation.
Have a GitHub account
For FastStore WebOps onboarding, you'll need a GitHub account to set up your project. You can use either a personal account or a GitHub organization.
If you choose to install the app in a GitHub organization, make sure you have admin access to it.
Accessing the FastStore Onboarding app
