Create a Runner Store
Create a new store whose storefront and store backend are provisioned by Runner.
What this covers: You will create a new Runner project and arrive in its project conversation.
Use Build new when you are starting from an idea and do not need to keep Shopify checkout.
Entry path: Workspace Home → + Store → Build new.
Before you start
- You must be signed in to an active workspace.
- Your workspace must have room for another store.
- Enter a name that clearly identifies the store to your team.
Create Store controls
| Control | Why it is useful | What happens after you select it |
|---|---|---|
| Build new | Chooses Runner’s native store path. | The form keeps only the fields needed for a Runner store. |
| Store Name | Names the project in your workspace. | Create becomes available after the name is valid. |
| Create | Confirms the new store. | Runner creates the project and navigates to its conversation. |
| Cancel or close | Leaves without creating a store. | The dialog closes and the workspace stays unchanged. |
Create the store
- Open your workspace and select + Store.
- In Create Store, choose Build new.
- Enter the Store Name.
- Select Create.
- Wait for the new project to open.
- Tell Runner what you want the store to sell and how it should look.
Creating the project does not publish it. Runner still needs your request before it can build a storefront preview.
Troubleshooting
| State | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Create is disabled | A required value is missing or invalid, or creation is already running. | Review Store Name and wait for any pending action. |
| Upgrade message | The workspace has reached its current store limit. | Open the plan information shown by Runner or cancel the dialog. |
| Workspace access has lapsed | New stores cannot be created in that workspace. | Follow the workspace reactivation or plan path shown on screen. |
| Creation failed | Runner could not finish creating the project. | Keep the intended name, return to the workspace, and try once more. |
