Troubleshooting

My public vendor page says not found

Two things have to be true before your page exists, and one of them is easy to miss.

  1. 1Your page needs BOTH a web address and the switch turned on. Setting the address alone does nothing — the page stays unpublished and anyone visiting gets not found.
  2. 2Go to Settings -> Public Page, check the address is set, and check the page is switched on. Save.
  3. 3The address can only be lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores, between 2 and 50 characters. Capitals and spaces are rejected rather than tidied up.
  4. 4Some addresses are already taken by another vendor, and a few short ones are reserved. You will be told which; pick another.
  5. 5Changing the address does not keep the old one working. Anything already printed with the old address — a card, a sign, a linked post — stops resolving the moment you save.
  6. 6The page is public on purpose: no login, visible to anyone with the address, and search engines may find it. Only put on it what you would put on a market stall sign.
