Store identifiers

Store identifiers include your store's internal name, initials, and icon. Identifiers are used by partners, users, and store staff to identify stores in your organization. Ensure that the store identifier is meaningful so that users can select stores easily.

The store initials are displayed as a two-letter or three-letter abbreviation in the global navigation menu. By default, the store initials are based on the first letters of a store's name. For example:

  • Svenshirts - Sve
  • Sven's Shirts - SvS
  • Sven's Shirt Depot - SSD

You can add the store's internal name and initials when you create a store and update them as needed. The internal store name and initials don't affect what's displayed in your store or in any customer communications.
