Connections
Connect each service the store runs on once, then take the store live on your domain.
Updated 10 November 2026
- Why
- A store needs its own domain, payments, email and search presence.
- How
- Open Connections in the workbench at
/app/commerce/connections; admins and owners connect.
| Connection | What it does |
|---|---|
| Domain | Serves the store at its own address, www first, with the certificate |
| Payments (Stripe) | Takes card payments on the store and tells Kabaido about each order and refund |
| Email (Resend) | Sends the store's purchase orders, confirmations and account emails from its own address |
| Google (Merchant Center and Search Console) | Reads product approvals, account issues and search figures and sends code promotions to Google |
| Bing | Reads clicks, impressions and queries from Bing Webmaster Tools |
| Shopping feeds | Lists every priced variant for the merchant centres, built live from the catalogue |
A connection is not connected, checking, connected or needing attention. Keys are stored encrypted and never shown again.
Go live
Once the domain is connected, Go live switches the store to your domain and redeploys it. The owner of the workspace or Kabaido can press it; nobody else sees the button.
Payments run through the store's own Stripe account, which is also where a refund is made.
