What is the difference between the webstore and my website?
All wineries using the Orderport eCommerce platform will have both a webstore and a website.
Your main website is hosted on your winery's domain, while the webstore is hosted on Orderport's secure eCommerce servers.
Your winery’s team will build and manage your main website. Orderport’s team will build and manage the webstore.
At this moment in time, the ability to utilize Orderport’s webstore is reliant on having a fully completed main website. Our development team will reference your website in order to build seamless pages for your storefront, checkout, and account portal. This is the case for all OrderPort webstores, regardless of whether it is a standard or hybrid build.
