A step-by-step guide to registering your account, configuring your merchant profile, and going live on the MerchFox.Shop platform.

Overview

MerchFox.Shop is a fully-hosted e-commerce platform that enables merchants to build, manage, and scale their online stores without requiring technical expertise. This guide covers the complete account registration and initial setup flow — from creating your credentials to configuring your store's foundational settings.

Upon completing this guide, your account will be active, your store profile configured, and your team access structure ready to support your operations.

Prerequisites

• A valid business or personal email address

• Access to a modern web browser (Chrome 100+, Firefox 100+, Safari 15+, or Edge 100+)

• A mobile device for two-factor authentication setup (recommended)

• Basic business information: legal business name, country of operation, and preferred store currency

Account Registration

The registration process is divided into three stages: account creation, email verification, and merchant profile completion. Each stage must be completed in sequence before proceeding to store configuration.

Create Your Account

Navigate to https://merchfox.shop/ Start Free Trial and complete the registration form. All fields marked as required must be filled before submission.

Verify Your Email Address

After successful form submission, MerchFox.Shop will send an email containing a verification code to the address you provided.

⚠️ If you do not receive the verification email within 5 minutes, check your spam or junk folder. You may request a new verification code via the Resend Verification Email option on the login screen.

Complete Your Merchant Profile

Upon successful email verification, you will be automatically redirected to the Account Setup Wizard — a 3-step onboarding flow designed to configure your store before going live.

Step 1 — Add Your Contact
