Getting Started
How do I create my first store?
Go to the dashboard and click "New Store", pick one of the seven templates, then add your first products — your store is ready to publish in minutes.
Full launch guide from scratch
Covers picking a template, uploading products, connecting a payment gateway and a shipping company, and connecting your domain, in the recommended order for a smooth launch.
Uploading products for the first time
Upload a CSV with your whole catalog at once, or add products one by one from the Products page.
Connecting a domain to your store
Go to Settings → Domain, add your custom domain, then update the DNS records shown on screen; it usually activates within a few hours.
Activating your plan after the trial
When the 3-day free trial ends, pick one of the three plans from the Billing page and enter payment details to keep your store running without interruption.
Migrating From Another Platform
How do I migrate my store from Shopify?
We import your products, orders and customers automatically from Shopify; you only need to reconnect local payment gateways and shipping companies afterward.
Migrating from WooCommerce to TakeTheme
Same automatic catalog and order migration, plus a small manual step to rebuild any custom template pieces.
Migrating from Easy Orders
We move your order and customer data from Easy Orders directly; only the payment gateway needs to be reconnected.
What moves automatically vs. what you set up manually?
Products, orders and customers migrate automatically; payment gateways, shipping companies and custom design need a one-time manual setup.
How long migration takes, and what to expect
Migration usually takes one to three business days depending on catalog size; your old store keeps running until the move is fully complete.
Orders
How do I create a manual order?
From the dashboard, go to Orders → Create Order, enter the customer's details, add products, then choose a payment method.
Processing orders and updating their status
Change an order's status (processing, shipped, delivered) right from the order detail page; the customer gets an automatic notification on every update.
How do I refund an order?
Open the order and click "Refund", then choose a full or partial refund as needed.
Filtering and exporting orders
Use the status, date and payment-method filters at the top of the orders list, then export the results to Excel with one click.
Partial and pending orders
Pending orders are waiting on payment or stock confirmation; review them from the "Pending" filter and complete them manually once the missing data is available.
Products
Adding a new product
Go to Products → Add Product, enter the name, price, images and description, then save to publish it instantly.
Bulk-editing products
Select several products from the list and use "Bulk Edit" to change price, stock or category for all of them at once.
Setting up options and variants
Add variants like size and color from the "Options" tab inside the product page; each variant has its own price and stock.
Digital products and files
Enable the "Digital product" type and upload the file; the download link reaches the customer automatically right after payment.
Linking and ordering product images
Upload several images per product and drag to reorder them; the first image shows as the main image in the store.
Customers
How do I add a new customer manually?
From Customers → Customers, click "+ Add customer" and fill in the first and last name, plus at least an email or phone number.
Can I bulk-import a customer list from an Excel or CSV file?
No, bulk customer import from a file isn't available in the dashboard yet (unlike product import). Manual add or automatic sign-up from the storefront are the only ways in.
Where do I find a customer's total spend and order count?
On the customer's own profile (click their name in the list) you'll find a stats bar at the top showing days as a customer, total orders, and total amount spent.
How do I target a specific group of customers with an offer or message?
Use the "Segments" feature under performance tracking, which lets you build a customer segment with custom rules (like top spenders or most frequent buyers) or use one of 10 ready-made segments.
Can I see the messages that come in from my store's "Contact us" form?
Yes, from Customers → Leads. This page collects every contact-form submission from your store in one exportable table.
Does deleting a customer erase their past orders?
No, deleting a customer only removes their account — their order history stays intact on the Orders page separately.
Payments & Collection
Connecting Kashier to your store
Go to Settings → Payment Gateways, enable Kashier and enter your account's API keys; it starts accepting payments immediately.
Setting up PayMob and InstaPay
Same steps: enable the gateway from the same page and enter the account details you received directly from the provider.
Enabling Tabby and Tamara installments
Enable them from the same Payment Gateways page; the installment option then appears automatically to your customers at checkout.
Cash on delivery — setup and controls
Enable "Cash on Delivery" from Settings and set a maximum order value or restrict it to specific areas if you want.
Why don't my gateway numbers match the platform's?
The common cause is cancelled or refunded orders counted in the TakeTheme dashboard that don't show as a successful transaction at the gateway; check the monthly reconciliation report to confirm.
Shipping
Connecting Bosta to your store
Go to Settings → Shipping, enable Bosta and enter your account details; a shipping label is created automatically with every confirmed order.
Setting up Mylerz for fast shipping
Enable Mylerz from the same shipping page; it suits fast delivery within major cities.
Turbo — pricing and zones
Set Turbo's coverage zones and shipping prices from the carrier's own settings after connecting the account.
Setting up shipping zones and prices
Split Egypt into shipping zones and set a different price for each one, with optional free shipping above a set threshold.
Printing a shipping label
Print the label directly from the order detail page as a ready-to-print PDF.
Marketing & Automation
Setting up abandoned-cart messages
Enable the automation from Marketing → Abandoned Cart, and set the timing and message text over WhatsApp or SMS to reach the customer automatically.
The offers system — six types
The system includes: direct discounts, buy-together bundles, coupons, segment-based offers, timed offers with a countdown, and post-purchase upsells.
Segmentation and segment campaigns
Split your customers by purchase history or value, then send a tailored offer to each segment from the Campaigns page.
Coupons and discount rules
Create a discount code and set its rules (percentage or fixed amount, minimum order, expiry date) from the Coupons page.
Post-purchase offers (upsell)
Show the customer an extra product right after payment completes, added with one click and no re-entering payment details.
Tracking & Ads
Connecting the Meta pixel via server (CAPI)
Enable CAPI from Settings → Tracking to send events straight from TakeTheme's server to Meta, bypassing browser cookie blocking.
Setting up TikTok and Snap tracking
Add each platform's pixel ID from the same tracking page; the system supports up to four ad platforms via CAPI.
Why don't ad numbers match?
This is normal, caused by browsers blocking traditional trackers; server-side tracking (CAPI) narrows the gap significantly but doesn't eliminate it entirely.
Google Tag Manager vs. CAPI
GTM runs from the browser and is affected by ad blocking, while CAPI sends data straight from the server and is more accurate.
Testing events and confirming tracking
Use the Events Testing tool in Ads Manager to confirm every event (view, add-to-cart, purchase) arrives correctly.
Design & Templates
Visual builder basics
Drag any section from a library of 104 sections and 75 widgets and drop it wherever you want on the page — no code required.
Adding new sections and widgets
Open the builder from the store editor, pick a category (Hero, Products, Offers, Reviews, Content) and drag what fits.
Customizing colors and fonts
From Appearance settings, change the color palette and base font across the whole store in a few clicks.
The right template for your store type
Choose from seven templates designed for different sectors (fashion, electronics, beauty, toys and more) — you can switch between them later without losing your data.
Custom CSS for advanced users
Add custom code to any single section from that section's settings panel when you need finer control over the design.
Billing & Plans
Managing your current plan
Go to Settings → Billing to review your current plan, usage details, and next renewal date.
Upgrading and downgrading between plans
Switch between Launch (599), Pro (1250) and Scale (3450) at any time; the difference is prorated against the rest of your billing period.
Why is my account suspended?
Usually a payment renewal issue; update your payment details from the Billing page to reactivate the store immediately.
Downloading subscription invoices
Download each month's invoice as a PDF from the invoice history inside the Billing page.
Refund policy and terms
Review the full refund policy on the "Refunds" page in the site footer.
Reports & Analytics
What's the difference between the Home page and the Analytics page?
Home shows a quick summary of your top numbers plus a widget tracking your store setup completion, while Analytics is fully dedicated to digging into the numbers: conversion funnel, sales by country and device, and a large customizable metrics catalog.
Do the numbers change based on the date range I pick?
Yes, the date-range picker at the top of the Analytics page drives every card and chart shown, and there's a "Compare with" option against a previous period to measure growth or decline.
Why is my conversion rate low even though I get a lot of visits?
Check the conversion funnel in the "Visitors and conversion rate report" article to pinpoint exactly which step is losing most visitors before purchase.
Is there a difference between "total visits" and "Sessions" in the funnel?
The two terms mostly refer to the same concept (number of browsing sessions), but some parts of the interface use English terms alongside a fully Arabic UI — check the actual numeric values to confirm they match.
Account & Settings
Inviting a staff member and setting permissions
Go to Settings → Staff, invite a member by email and set their role (manager, sales staff, shipping supervisor).
Changing the dashboard language
From the profile menu at the top → Settings → Language; the change applies only to your account, not the storefront language shown to customers.
Setting up email on your domain
Connect a professional inbox on your store's domain (like info@yourstore.com) from the domain settings once it's connected.
Connecting a custom domain
Add your domain from Settings → Domain and update the DNS records as instructed; it usually activates within a few hours.
Managing your store info and contact page
Edit your store name, logo and the contact details shown to customers from General Settings at any time.
