Step-by-step guide to creating your first HytalePay store.

When you first log into HytalePay, you'll be guided through a simple 5-step wizard to create your store.

Step 1: Store Name

Enter a name for your store. This will be displayed to your customers and used to generate your store URL.

  • Choose something memorable that represents your server

Step 2: Branding

Add personality to your store with:

  • Slogan: A short tagline (max 100 characters) that appears below your store name
  • Description: A longer description (max 500 characters) explaining what your store offers

Step 3: Currency

Select your default currency for all products:

  • USD - US Dollars

All product prices will be displayed in this currency.

Step 4: PayPal Configuration
