Store

Before Snipcart

Snipcart needs the Store feature. Enable it in Admin → Settings by clicking ENABLE STORE — store.yml then appears in the Features section.

Setting up Snipcart to work with Roe

The Store feature lets you sell products directly from your site using Snipcart ↗. Three pieces have to be in place for Roe and Snipcart to work together:

  1. Roe needs Snipcart’s <script> — covered in this article.
  2. Your Store settings need to be configured — see Store.
  3. You need at least one product — see Products.

The Snipcart side

Snipcart walks you through creating an account when you sign up. This article covers only the piece Roe needs from it.

Snipcart has a Test mode and a Live mode ↗, and Roe has the same two modes:

  • Test — fake payments, for setting things up and checking everything works.
  • Live — real payments, for when you’re ready to sell.

In Roe, each mode’s snippet lives on its own tab — Local/Test and Live/Static Site — and the Active Mode toggle picks which one is active. In either mode, Roe needs just one thing from Snipcart: its <script> snippet.

To add it:

  1. Open Snipcart’s API Keys ↗ page. The label at the top — Public Test or Public Live — tells you which mode you’re using in Snipcart.
  2. Copy the <script> snippet in full.
  3. In Roe, open Settings → Roe → Store (Snipcart).
  4. Paste it into the matching tab: Local/Test or Live/Static Site.
  5. Click Save Test Snippet (or Save Live Snippet).

That’s it — you’re ready to work with the Store and Snipcart.

Domains and going live

When you make the store public, the domain in your Snipcart dashboard must match your store’s domain — otherwise Snipcart rejects orders.

That covers the Snipcart settings. To finish setting up your store, see Store and Products.
