Onboarding (3 Steps)
After your first payment, you will be guided through a 3-step setup wizard to create your first site.
Step 1 — Business Basics
Enter your business name, your niche or industry, and optionally a phone number and tagline. A subdomain is auto-suggested from your business name.
Step 2 — Subdomain
Review your assigned subdomain (yoursite.growmiz.com). This is where your site will be live.
Step 3 — Site Type
Choose between a Normal Website (for service businesses, portfolios, etc.) or an Ecommerce Store (for selling products online).
⚠ Your site type can be changed later from Settings → Danger Zone (content will be reset).
Normal Website Setup
Setup Wizard
After creating a Normal site, the Setup Wizard helps populate your site content in 5 sections:
- Hero — main headline, CTA button, background image
- About — your story, founder, values
- Services — up to 8 service cards with icons and prices
- Contact & Social — phone, email, address, Google Maps link, WhatsApp, social media
- Gallery — upload photos for your gallery
Each section has an “Generate with AI” button that fills the content automatically based on your niche.
Design & Branding
Go to Dashboard → Your Site → Design. Four tabs let you customise the look and feel of your site:
- Theme — primary and accent colors, heading font, body font
- Navbar — background/text color, logo image, sticky toggle, auto-add pages toggle
- Footer — background/text color, copyright text, 3 link columns
- WhatsApp Button — enable the floating WhatsApp button, set phone number and pre-filled message
The right side shows a live preview of your site with a desktop/mobile toggle.
Pages & Editor
Three pages are auto-created on signup: Home, About, and Contact. You can add more pages via the Extra Pages addon (each purchase adds one page slot, stackable).
Click any page in Dashboard → Pages to open the visual block editor. Block types include: Hero Section, Feature Cards, Testimonial Slider, FAQ Accordion, Gallery, Contact Form, Newsletter Form, Video Embed, Google Map, Rich Text, and more.
Gallery
Dashboard → Gallery. Upload images (JPG, PNG, WebP). Drag to reorder. Add captions and alt text inline. Filter by category.
Storage usage is shown at the top. The base plan includes 20 images. Upgrade to the Unlimited Gallery addon for no limit.
Blog
Requires the Blog addon. Dashboard → Blog → New Post.
Write in Markdown with a live preview. AI can generate blog titles and body content. Set a cover image, tags, category, and SEO meta fields. Posts are Draft by default — toggle to Published when ready.
Enquiries & Subscribers
Enquiries are messages submitted via your site’s Contact Form. View all in Dashboard → Enquiries. Reply directly from the dashboard — your reply is emailed to the visitor.
Subscribers are emails collected via your Newsletter Form block. Export them as CSV.
FAQ & Testimonials
FAQ: Add questions and answers. AI can generate both. Drag to reorder.
Testimonials: Customers can submit testimonials via your public site. You approve them in Dashboard → Testimonials → Submitted tab before they go live. You can also add manual testimonials with a star rating and photo.
SEO Settings
Requires the SEO addon. Dashboard → SEO. Three sub-tabs:
- Site Settings — meta title, meta description, Google Analytics ID, Google Search Console verification, Meta Pixel ID
- Pages SEO — per-page meta title/ description, OG tags (for social sharing), Twitter card tags, canonical URL, noIndex toggle. Live SEO score (0–100) based on 6 checks
- Schema & Integrations — structured data (LocalBusiness, Restaurant, Store, etc.) with address, city, lat/lng for Google rich results
Popup Builder
Requires the Popup Builder addon. Dashboard → Popup. Three popup types:
- Newsletter Capture — email collection
- Announcement — notice to all visitors
- Promo Offer — headline + image + CTA
Configure triggers: time delay, exit intent (when user moves to close the tab), or 50% scroll depth. Target all visitors, first-time only, or returning visitors only.
Team Members
Requires the Team Members addon. Dashboard → Team. Add up to 4 members.
Each member gets a phone number and a 6-digit PIN for login. They log in at your site subdomain with their phone and PIN — this is separate from your main account.
4 roles: Manager (all permissions), Editor (content only), Support (minimal), Viewer (read-only). Each permission is individually toggleable.
Bring Your Own Domain
Requires the Bring Your Own Domain addon. Dashboard → Domain.
Enter your domain purchased from a registrar (e.g. www.yourbusiness.com). Point your DNS: A record to 76.76.21.21 (for apex domains) or CNAME to cname.vercel-dns.com (for subdomains). Click Verify. SSL is automatically provisioned once DNS is verified. Propagation can take from minutes to 48 hours.
Publishing Your Site
Dashboard → Your Site → click Publish. Your site goes live at yoursite.growmiz.com (or your custom domain if configured). Unpublish at any time to show an “Under Construction” page instead.
Ecommerce Store Setup
Store Overview
After choosing Ecommerce or QuickStore during onboarding, you land on the Store Hub. It shows a publish checklist with these requirements:
- Store name is set
- Razorpay keys or online payment toggle enabled
- At least one active product has stock
- Contact phone number is set
- At least one serviceable pincode or range
All items must be green before you can publish. If you disable online payments (Razorpay toggle OFF), the keys requirement is skipped.
What is QuickStore?
QuickStore is a lightweight ecommerce option built for local delivery businesses — restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, flower shops, bakeries, and more. Customers order for same-day or next-day delivery within your serviceable area.
Delivery Area
Dashboard → Store Settings → Delivery Area. Add serviceable pincodes as exact 6-digit codes or as ranges (e.g. 452001–452020). Set a flat delivery fee, a free-delivery-above threshold, and an optional minimum order value.
Store Hours
Set per-day open and close times. When your store is closed, customers can still place orders — they are labelled “Scheduled for next opening” rather than rejected. Toggle accepting orders off to pause new orders entirely. Estimated delivery time is shown at checkout and on the order confirmation page.
Publishing Your QuickStore
Same checklist as Ecommerce stores, plus: at least 1 serviceable pincode or range must be added. Dashboard → Store → Publish.
Adding Products
Dashboard → Products → Add Product. Fill 7 sections:
- Basic Info — name, slug, description, category
- Images — upload multiple; first image is the thumbnail
- Pricing — price, compare-at price, SKU
- Inventory — stock quantity, unlimited stock toggle
- Variants — size, color, or other options
- SEO — meta title and description
- Related Products — link to other products
AI can generate product name, description, and short description for you.
Product Variants & CSV Import
Variants: Define option names (e.g. Size, Color) and values (S, M, L / Red, Blue). Click “Generate Variants” — a table of all combinations is created. Set SKU, price, stock, and image per variant.
CSV Import: Download the template from Dashboard → Products → Import. Fill in columns including pipe-separated variation columns (variation_option, variation_values, etc.). Upload the CSV to bulk-import products.
ⓘ Info: CSV import will be rejected if the total would exceed your product limit. Upgrade your plan or add the Extra Products addon first.
Categories
Dashboard → Categories. Create categories with a name, slug, description, and optional image. Toggle “Show in Nav” to display the category in your store navbar. Drag to reorder. Products are linked to one category each.
Payment Gateway (Razorpay)
Dashboard → Store Settings → Payment Gateway tab. Enter your own Razorpay Key ID and Key Secret (from your Razorpay dashboard at dashboard.razorpay.com). Toggle between Test mode (for testing) and Live mode (for real payments). Click “Test Connection” to verify.
Keys are encrypted and never exposed to anyone — not even Growmiz support.
⚠ You must use Live mode keys before publishing your store. Test mode orders will not be real payments.
Shipping Configuration
Dashboard → Store Settings → Shipping tab.
- Flat Rate — a fixed charge per order (default ₹60)
- COD Charge — extra fee for Cash on Delivery orders
- Free Shipping Threshold — orders above this amount get free shipping
- Carrier Integration — connect Shiprocket or Delhivery for automated rates, labels, and tracking
- Pincode Rules — custom shipping rates for specific pincode ranges
Shipping pricing follows a waterfall: if Shiprocket is connected, it quotes first. If Shiprocket fails, pincode rules apply. If no rule matches, the flat rate is used.
Coupons & Discounts
Requires the Coupons addon. Dashboard → Coupons → Add Coupon.
Types: Percentage Off, Fixed Amount Off, Free Shipping, Buy X Get Y. Set minimum order amount, maximum discount cap, usage limit, per-customer limit, start/end dates, and first-time-customer-only toggle.
Coupons are validated server-side at checkout — customers cannot fake a discount.
WhatsApp Notifications
Requires the WhatsApp Integration addon. Dashboard → Store Settings → WhatsApp tab.
Enter your WhatsApp Business API Token, Phone Number ID, and Business Account ID (from Meta Business Suite). You must register 7 message templates in Meta Business Manager before they can be sent:
growmiz_order_confirmedgrowmiz_order_shippedgrowmiz_order_deliveredgrowmiz_order_cancelledgrowmiz_order_refundedgrowmiz_order_preparinggrowmiz_order_out_for_delivery
The template bodies to copy are shown in the WhatsApp settings tab.
ⓘ Info: Template approval by Meta can take 24–48 hours.
Store Design
Dashboard → Design. Customise your store’s look and feel:
- Store name, logo, favicon, hero section (title, subtitle, background image)
- Announcement bar, featured banner slider, promo video
- Colors (accent, secondary, background, text, border), fonts, border radius, button and card styles
- Homepage sections: add/reorder/remove (New Arrivals, Featured Products, Category Showcase, Offer Banners, Testimonials, Blog Strip, Newsletter CTA, Instagram Feed, Video Reel Carousel, and more)
- Footer text
A live preview updates as you change settings.
Customer Accounts
Dashboard → Store Settings → Customer Accounts tab. Toggle:

Analytics
Dashboard → Analytics. Date range: Today, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or Custom.
KPI cards: Revenue, Orders, Average Order Value, New Customers, Returning Customers, Conversion Rate (each with trend % vs previous period). Charts: Revenue Over Time, Top Products, Orders by Status, Customer Acquisition, Revenue by Category, Average Rating, and Low Stock alerts.
Publishing Your Store
Dashboard → Store → Publish. All checklist items must be green (Razorpay keys requirement is skipped if online payments are disabled). Once published, your store is live at yoursite.growmiz.com.
ⓘ Info: Your store URL is yoursite.growmiz.com — you can also connect your own domain via the Domain page.
