Creating an Online Store with AI
The SillyHost AI Site Builder can generate a fully functional online store for your business. Whether you sell physical products, digital downloads, or services, the AI can create a professional e-commerce website.
Getting Started with E-commerce
- Open the AI Site Builder and click Create New Site.
- In the prompt, specify that you want an online store. For example:
Create an online store for a handmade jewellery business called Silver Lining. Include a product catalogue, shopping cart, and checkout. Products include rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
What the AI Generates
The AI will create essential e-commerce pages including:
- Home page with featured products and promotional banners.
- Product catalogue with categories and filtering options.
- Individual product pages with descriptions, pricing, and image galleries.
- Shopping cart and checkout pages.
- About and Contact pages for customer trust.
Adding Your Products
After generation, add your real products through the product manager. For each product, you can set the name, description, price, stock quantity, images, and product variants such as size or colour. You can also organise products into categories.
Payment Integration
Connect your store to payment processors to accept real payments. The AI builder supports integration with Stripe and PayPal. Navigate to Store Settings and enter your payment gateway API keys to enable transactions.
Shipping and Tax Settings
Configure your shipping zones and rates in the store settings. You can offer flat rate, weight-based, or free shipping. Set up tax rules for your region to ensure VAT or sales tax is calculated correctly at checkout.
Your AI-generated store is fully customisable, so you can adjust every element to match your brand and business needs.
