# Configure the customer shop

> Choose how signed-in customers see prices, product options, and filter tags on the Shop page.

## What you will accomplish

Signed-in customers will open **Shop** in the customer app and see products that are easy to scan: grouped options when you want one card per product, prices that match how you talk about cost, and filter tags in a helpful order.

When you finish, your team can explain a price on the phone and have it match what the customer sees on their screen.

## When to use this guide

Use this guide when customers buy storage plans, services, or memberships from the signed-in **Shop** page.

You might need this when:

* A customer says the shop price does not match the invoice
* One product has several price options and the list looks too long
* You added tags such as **Storage**, **Detailing**, or **Membership** and want them in a clear order
* You are about to invite customers to pay online for the first time

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Shop is not the same as the public marketplace**
>
> **Shop** is what **signed-in customers** see in the customer app (the **Shop** tab).
>
> The **public marketplace** is what **anyone with the link** can open to browse cars or products. See [Publish marketplace listings](/docs/facility-web-pages/publish-marketplace-listings.md) for the public page, and [Test marketplace checkout](/docs/facility-web-pages/test-marketplace-checkout.md) before you share a buy link.

## Before you start

* You can open [Settings > Website & customer app](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/settings/website).
* At least one product or plan exists in [Payments > Products and services](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/payments/products).
* If you will collect payment, finish [Connect payment processing](/docs/settings/connect-payment-processing.md) first.
* You know whether customers should see tax and processing fees **in** the listed price, or added later at checkout.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Checkout still charges the correct total**
>
> The Shop switches only change **how list prices look**. Checkout still collects the right tax and fees. Turn the switches on when you want the card price to look like the final card or ACH total.

## Step 1: Open the Shop page in Customer app

**1. Go to Website & customer app**

In the dashboard sidebar, open **Settings**, then **Website & customer app**.

You can also go directly to [Settings > Website & customer app](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/settings/website).

**Expected result:** The page title is **Website & customer app**. You see **Shareable links** at the top.

**2. Scroll to Customer app**

Scroll to the **Customer app** section.

**Expected result:** You see a phone-sized live preview and a row of page names such as **Home**, **Events**, **Cars**, **Schedule**, **Shop**, **Billing**, **Documents**, and **Settings**.

**3. Click Shop**

Click **Shop** in that page row (labeled **Customer app pages**).

**Why this matters:** Shop settings only appear after you select **Shop**. If you stay on **Home**, you will edit the home screen instead.

**Expected result:** The editor shows **Shop catalog** and **Shop filter tags**. The preview shows the Shop page.

![Customer app settings showing page tabs for Home, Events, Cars, Schedule, Shop, Billing, Documents, and Settings next to a phone preview](https://mintcdn.com/carstoragesoftware/zfkveby1fbxIBHBu/images/facility-web-pages/customer-app-page-tabs-sep21.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=zfkveby1fbxIBHBu\&q=85\&s=96715b54b79865a83f0fb9b95d2a583d)

*Click **Shop** in the page row under **Customer app**. This is how you switch from the home screen to shop settings.*

## Step 2: Set Shop catalog display

**Shop catalog** controls how product cards look.

**1. Find Shop catalog**

On the **Shop** page, expand **Shop catalog** if it is collapsed.

**Expected result:** You see three switches: **Group product options**, **Show prices including tax**, and **Show prices including processing fees**.

**2. Choose Group product options**

Turn **Group product options** **on** when one product has several prices (for example Indoor / Outdoor, or Monthly / Annual).

Customers see one card, then click through to pick an option.

Turn it **off** when every price should appear as its own card on the list.

**Why this matters:** A long list of nearly identical cards is hard to scan on a phone. Grouping keeps the shop short.

**3. Choose Show prices including tax**

Turn **Show prices including tax** **on** when you want shop cards to show the tax-included total.

Turn it **off** when you want the card to show the amount **before** tax.

Checkout still adds the correct tax either way.

**4. Choose Show prices including processing fees**

Turn **Show prices including processing fees** **on** when the card should show the card or bank fee already included.

Turn it **off** when the card should show the service amount **before** those fees.

**Expected result:** Each switch saves on its own. You may see a short **Saved** message. The phone preview updates to match.

![Shop catalog settings with Group product options, Show prices including tax, and Show prices including processing fees switches next to a Shop preview](https://mintcdn.com/carstoragesoftware/zfkveby1fbxIBHBu/images/facility-web-pages/customer-app-shop-catalog-sep21.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=zfkveby1fbxIBHBu\&q=85\&s=1f5b4330d10b9a54f3a1870c79182e66)

***Shop catalog** has three switches. Changes save automatically. Checkout still charges the correct total.*

### What each switch means in plain English

> [!NOTE]
>
> | Switch | When it is on | When it is off |
> | - | - | - |
> | **Group product options** | One card per product. The customer opens it to see every price option. | Each price option is its own card on the shop list. |
> | **Show prices including tax** | The number on the card includes tax. | The number on the card is before tax. |
> | **Show prices including processing fees** | The number on the card includes card or bank fees. | The number on the card is the service amount only. |

## Step 3: Put filter tags in a helpful order

**Shop filter tags** are the chips customers tap to narrow the list (for example **Storage**, **Detailing**, **Membership**).

Tags come from each product. You add them on the product in [Payments > Products and services](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/payments/products). This settings page only **orders** tags that already exist.

**1. Find Shop filter tags**

Still on the **Shop** page, expand **Shop filter tags**.

**2. If you see No shop tags yet**

Open [Payments > Products and services](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/payments/products), edit a product, and add customer-facing tags such as **Storage** or **Detailing**.

Come back to **Shop filter tags**. The tags appear after you save the product.

**Why this matters:** Empty tag chips confuse customers. Add tags only when you have more than one kind of product.

**3. Drag tags into the order customers should see**

Drag the handle on the left of each tag.

Put the most common choice first. Many facilities use: **Storage** → **Services** → **Membership**.

**4. Click Save if you see it**

After you drag, click **Save** if a Save button appears.

**Expected result:** The preview filter chips match the new order.

![Shop filter tags list with drag handles next to Tag order and a Shop preview showing filter chips](https://mintcdn.com/carstoragesoftware/zfkveby1fbxIBHBu/images/facility-web-pages/customer-app-shop-filter-tags-sep21.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=zfkveby1fbxIBHBu\&q=85\&s=3de72f3d21492ca8de2113b7d403f4e1)

*Drag tags into the order customers should tap first. Click **Save** if it appears after you reorder.*

> [!TIP]
>
> **Keep tag names short**
>
> Use one or two words customers already say, such as **Storage** or **Detail**. Avoid staff codes such as **SKU-INT-01**.

## Step 4: Confirm Shop appears in bottom navigation

If customers cannot find Shop, the **Shop** tab may be missing from **bottom navigation** on the **Home** page.

**1. Click Home in the page row**

In **Customer app**, click **Home**.

**2. Check Bottom navigation**

Expand **Bottom navigation**. Confirm a tab labeled **Shop** (or similar) is present and points to the shop page.

If you removed it earlier, click **Add nav item** and add Shop back.

See [Customize the customer mobile app](/docs/facility-web-pages/customize-the-customer-mobile-app.md) for home screen and tab help.

## Step 5: Preview like a customer

**1. Copy Customer login**

Scroll to **Shareable links** at the top of the same settings page. Click **Copy** on **Customer login**.

**2. Open a private browser window**

Use a private or incognito window so you are not signed in as staff.

**3. Sign in as a test customer**

Enter an email from a test customer in [Contacts](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/contacts).

Open **Shop** from the bottom tabs.

**Expected result:** Product names, grouped options, prices, and tag chips match the preview you set in **Customer app**.

![Customer Shop page showing Storage and Detailing filter chips, Express Exterior Detail for 185, and Monthly Car Storage with a 695 to \$895 price range](https://mintcdn.com/carstoragesoftware/zfkveby1fbxIBHBu/images/facility-web-pages/customer-portal-shop-sep21.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=zfkveby1fbxIBHBu\&q=85\&s=5d65095940f25429c72476b333ae3948)

*After sign-in, **Shop** should match the catalog switches and tag order you set. Grouped storage shows one card with a price range. If it does not match, refresh or sign out and back in.*

## What success looks like

* You opened **Shop** from the page row in [Settings > Website & customer app](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/settings/website).
* **Group product options** matches how you want the list to look.
* Tax and fee switches match how your team quotes prices on the phone.
* Filter tags are in a customer-friendly order—or hidden because you have no tags yet.
* A test customer can open **Shop** from the customer app and see the same layout.

## Troubleshooting

> [!WARNING]
>
> **I do not see Shop catalog**
>
> Click **Shop** in the page row under **Customer app**. Those settings do not appear on **Home**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **The shop looks empty**
>
> Add or turn on products in [Payments > Products and services](https://www.carstoragesoftware.com/dashboard/payments/products). Confirm the item is active and set to show to customers. Then refresh the preview.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **The customer sees a different price than I quoted**
>
> Check **Show prices including tax** and **Show prices including processing fees**. Then walk through [Test marketplace checkout](/docs/facility-web-pages/test-marketplace-checkout.md) so the checkout total matches your quote.

> [!TIP]
>
> **No shop tags yet**
>
> Tags appear here only after you add them on a product. Open the product, add short tags, then return to **Shop filter tags**.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Customers cannot find Shop**
>
> On **Home**, check **Bottom navigation** for a **Shop** tab. Also confirm [Connect payment processing](/docs/settings/connect-payment-processing.md) is ready before you ask customers to pay.

## What to do next

* [Let customers add their own cars](/docs/facility-web-pages/let-customers-add-their-own-cars.md) if owners should add vehicles from the **Cars** page
* [Publish marketplace listings](/docs/facility-web-pages/publish-marketplace-listings.md) if guests should browse without signing in
* [Test marketplace checkout](/docs/facility-web-pages/test-marketplace-checkout.md) before you share a buy link
* [Go live checklist for public pages](/docs/facility-web-pages/go-live-checklist-for-public-pages.md) before a wide launch
