MOSAIC Setup Checklist

Before getting started with your MOSAIC Shop we highly recommend going through the goimagine "Getting Started Checklist" here: https://help.goimagine.com/articles/110744-getting-started-checklist-new

After you have set up the basics of your shop below are items you should consider doing to get your MOSAIC Shop setup to your liking:

1) Know your MOSAIC Domain!

• SUB-DOMAIN: Your MOSAIC sub-domain is free with your shop and is your shop name followed by ".goimagine.com" (i.e. yourshopname.goimagine.com) without any spaces or special characters. For instance, if your shop name is Jack & Jill's Attic your MOSAIC domain would be jackjillsattic.goimagine.com, You can also find your MOSAIC domain by going to Shop Account > Shop Settings > Optional Settings in your Seller Dashboard.

• CUSTOM DOMAIN: You can further brand your MOSAIC shop with a Custom Domain. This gives you a private URL without the word goimagine in it (i.e. yourshop.com). You can purchase domains at registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap. You can also purchase a domain by going to goimaginedomains.com. After you purchase a custom domain follow these steps to set it up: https://help.goimagine.com/articles/80193-setting-up-your-custom-domain

2) Set up your Custom Shop Categories and assign products to them. 

This will give your customers the ability to select and browse products throughout your catalog. They can access it through the hamburger menu in the top left corner of your site. Learn how to setup Custom Shop Categories here: https://help.goimagine.com/articles/64557-custom-shop-categories

**The hamburger menu is the default view for your shop categories. If you prefer, you can also display your categories horizontally above your main banner. Navigate to your MOSAIC settings and choose "Horizontal" from the Menu Style drop down.

3) Set your Featured Products for your homepage.

The featured products allow you to curate your homepage to highlight a set of products you want your buyers to see first. Some sellers change the featured products on a frequent basis to highlight different seasons/holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving product in the fall or 4th of July product in the Summer) while other makers "set it and forget it" by showing their bestselling products on their homepage. We recommend setting 6 or 12 Featured products since those multiples look best on Desktop and Mobile.

4) Create Custom Banners

Your goimagine banner will automatically default to your MOSAIC shop's banner, but if you would like to add additional banners such as a "carousel slideshow" on the top, update mobile size primary banners or do promo banners under the featured products you can do so for MOSAIC. You also have the ability to create smaller promotional banners that are shown further down your homepage.
