StoresGo homepage provides three methods to start finding and buying items. The front page itself shows featured items, and once the site starts learning your tastes, it will display products based on your buying history. To find a specific item, type in the search bar at the top of the page, then press "Search" to search the entire catalog, or use the drop-down category to select a specific category to search. If you'd rather just window shop, click on specific category and pick a section to browse.

As you come across items you want, click "Add to Cart" to save them. If you're undecided, add it anyway and you can always take it out of the cart later. When you're done, click the "Cart" button at the top of any StoresGo page and select " Checkout." Your first purchase includes creating an account. When StoresGo prompts you to log in, enter your email address, choose "I Am a New Customer" and fill in your personal info. You'll also need to enter a credit card to complete your purchase. If you haven't shopped online before, the prospect of giving out your card number might seem intimidating, but online stores use encryption to prevent hackers from stealing your information. To stay safe on StoresGo, just as with any other site, never give out your password, keep up-to-date anti-virus software on your computer and watch your bill for unexpected charges. Some credit card companies also provide one-time use numbers for shopping online -- check your card company's website to see if it offers this feature.

Many items on StoresGo come from third-party sellers on the Marketplace, indicated by a "Sold by" line near the product name and/or title. If both StoresGo and third-party sellers offer the item, the large "Add to Cart" button buys from StoresGo, and you'll see a few alternative "Add to Cart" buttons with different prices and a link to a full list of used and new versions of the product at the bottom of the product page. Marketplace sellers set their own prices, so you might find a great discount on a used item, or come across a rare, discontinued product that's only for sale at a collector's price. Even when buying from another seller, StoresGo itself handles your payment, so you don't need to worry about your credit card information leaking out.

If your new clothing doesn't fit right or a gadget arrives broken, or for what any other reason that you may have to return your puchase. StoresGo accepts returns on most sales within 30 days of delivery. In general, third-party sellers may offer the same policy. However; please review the return policy for each seller's store as it can vary. Although you will usually have to pay for return shipping to the selle, unless the seller advertises free returns. The cost of the return may be subtracted from the refund, if the item was returned for some a reason other than StoresGo mistake.

To start a return, login your account, click on Your Orders and pick the product you want to return, then select “return product”. A few types of items, such as tech items and high-priced goods, carry different return policies, which you can check on the return policy.

After all the required documents have been verified and your seller profile is completed, you can start listing your products and start selling.

As a seller, you will set the price of your products.

Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPUS)

BOPUS stands for Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store. It is sometimes also shortened to BOPIS.

Some sellers give shoppers the option to order items online and pick them up in-store within 50 miles radius address to address.

Here’s how the process works:

  1. Customers place the order: Shoppers purchase goods online through StoresGo mobile app or website. On the checkout landing page, customers can choose the date, time, and pickup location.
  2. Retailer prepares order for pickup: Retail staff finds the items ordered and pack them. Once packages are ready for pickup, shoppers can receive a notification through SMS or email.

Customer picks up the package: Customers can get their packages in-store or at a dedicated pickup location. We want to offer curbside pickup options where consumers can drive to the storefront and get their orders while remaining inside their vehicles.
