# Configure your store's regional and checkout settings

> Control your store's profile, regional preferences, checkout behavior, security modes, and feature flags from a single settings panel.

Platform Settings is the central place to define how your store looks, behaves, and operates. Settings are organized into dedicated sections — Profile, Domains, Regional, Checkout, Security, Features, and Analytics — so you can find exactly what you need without scrolling through unrelated options. Navigate between sections using the sidebar or by appending `?section=profile` (or any section name) to the settings URL.

## Profile

Your profile section controls the public-facing identity of your store and the contact details customers see during checkout and support interactions.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Store name & description" icon="store">

  </Card>

  <Card title="Contact info" icon="envelope">
    Add a support email address and phone number customers can use to reach you.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Logo" icon="image">
    Upload your store logo. It appears in the storefront header, emails, and receipts.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Address" icon="map-pin">

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**Social links** — connect your brand's social media accounts so customers can follow you. Cartble supports links for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest.

## Regional

Regional settings control the locale experience for your customers and the format of dates, prices, and measurements throughout your store.

| Setting                | Options                                                                                                   |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Timezone**           | UTC, America/Sao\_Paulo, America/New\_York, America/Los\_Angeles, Europe/London, Europe/Paris, Asia/Tokyo |
| **Currency**           | Configurable currency code (e.g. USD, BRL, EUR)                                                           |
| **Language**           | Store display language                                                                                    |
| **Measurement system** | `metric` or `imperial`                                                                                    |

## Checkout

Checkout settings determine what delivery and fulfillment methods customers can choose during the buying process.

<Accordion title="Enabled delivery types">
  Toggle which fulfillment methods appear at checkout:

  * **Delivery** — ship or courier the order to the customer's address
  * **Pickup** — customer collects the order from your location
  * **Table** — customer places an order for dine-in or table service (food & beverage stores)

  You can enable any combination of the three. At least one must be active.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Require account">
  When enabled, customers must create an account or log in before they can complete a purchase. This is useful for stores that want to track customer order history or restrict access to registered buyers.
</Accordion>

## Security & Availability

Control who can access your storefront and what they see when your store is not fully open.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Open">
    Your store is publicly accessible to all visitors. This is the default mode.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Password Protected">
    Visitors see a password prompt before they can browse your store. Set a storefront password and share it with trusted customers — useful for pre-launch previews or wholesale-only stores.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Vacation Mode">
    Display a banner message to visitors letting them know your store is temporarily unavailable. You can set an optional **expected return date** so customers know when to come back.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Outside Hours">
    Restricts purchasing outside of your configured operating hours. Browsing may still be allowed depending on your `allow_browsing_without_buying` setting.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Maintenance">
    Puts your storefront into a full maintenance state. Visitors see a maintenance notice and cannot browse or purchase.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Features

Feature flags activate blueprint-specific capabilities for your store. These toggles unlock behaviors tailored to particular commerce models.

| Feature             | What it enables                                                               |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `preparable`        | Orders go through a preparation queue before fulfillment (food and on-demand) |
| `customizable`      | Customers can add special instructions or customizations to items             |
| `schedulable`       | Items or services can be booked for a future date and time                    |
| `variant_heavy`     | Optimized catalog handling for products with many variants                    |
| `staff_managed`     | Services and appointments are assigned to specific staff members              |
| `digital_resources` | Support for downloadable or digital products                                  |
| `subscriptions`     | Enables recurring subscription purchases                                      |

<Note>
  Some features are plan-gated. If a feature toggle is locked, you need to upgrade your Cartble plan to unlock it. Head to **Admin → Billing** to see which plan includes the capability you need.
